Epigallocatechin supplementation for targeted health support.
EGCG is epigallocatechin gallate (has an extra gallate group). Both are catechins, EGCG slightly more studied.
Rarely sold separately. Green tea or green tea extract gives you all the catechins together, which is better.
Catechins may modestly increase fat oxidation. Not a weight loss miracle, but supportive with diet and exercise.

The compound effect of consistent dosing.
Check the cautions section if you have a pre-existing condition.
Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Matcha has more catechins because you consume the whole leaf. About 3x the catechin content of brewed green tea.
High-dose supplements have caused liver problems in some people. Stick to tea or moderate supplement doses.
Yes. Longer steeping extracts more catechins. 3-5 minutes is optimal. Too long gets bitter.
Most research uses 300.0g daily. Below 50.0g, you're probably wasting money. Above 500.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 800.0g.
Epigallocatechin has emerging evidence.
Found in Camellia sinensis leaves (tea plant). Green tea is unoxidized, preserving catechins. Black tea oxidation reduces catechin content.
