Active Green Tea is a high-potency standardized extract of green tea, high in epigallocatechin gallate (EgCG), believed to be the key phytonutrient in green tea, responsible for its health benefits.
Studies most consistently report health benefits in persons drinking ten cups a day of high-EgCG sencha-style Japanese green tea; each cup of this tea contains 150 milligrams of EgCG.
The labels of most green tea extracts exaggerate the number of cups of tea represented in their capsules by comparing the product to poor-quality teas. EGCG MAX allows you to more fully enjoy the healthy properties of a sencha-rich lifestyle without consuming large volumes of tea.
Research in experimental animals has found green tea or its extracts to be effective against chemically-induced cancers of the lung, breast, colon, liver, and skin, as well as a variety of gastrointestinal organs, cancers induced by chemical carcinogens; more excitingly, green tea extracts have been found to protect animals from existing, spontaneous prostate cancer. More important to us is the human evidence for the health benefits of green tea consumption. Extensive epidemiological evidence shows that people consuming high amounts of Japanese sencha green tea live longer develop less cancer, have healthier cholesterol levels, suffer less cardiovascular and liver disease, and may be less susceptible to heart attacks.
The evidence for the cancer-fighting powers of green tea is so strong that human clinical trials of green tea powders and extracts are now under way at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and at other clinical centers in the United States. But other studies have found no difference in cancer incidence among higher and lower drinkers of green tea. In the most infamous example, a study published in 2001 in the New England Journal of Medicine found no protective effect of green tea consumption against gastric cancer, despite the fact that numerous previous studies had found that drinking green tea does provide a shield against this killer. As with so many other things, the key appears to lie in the amount of green tea being consumed. In the New England Journal of Medicine study, drinking five or more cups of green tea a day put people into the highest consumption group. By contrast, the most consistent epidemiological evidence for a protective effect of green tea comes from the consumption of ten cups or more of Japanese sencha per day.
