Green Tea Leaf Extract
Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is native to Asia and is widely consumed throughout the world. Green tea has a mild, slightly grassy flavor and is typically lighter in color and less astringent than black tea. Green tea is a rich source of antioxidants, particularly a group of compounds called catechins. These antioxidants are thought to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Green tea is also a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin C and several B vitamins. Green tea is often consumed for a number of purported health benefits including reducing the risk of heart disease, immune-stimulating effects, and weight loss. Oral green tea supplements, containing dried powder, are most often utilized for the caffeine content and used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.

| Formula |
- How It Works: Green tea has been extensively studied and researchers have found its active constituents to be a family of polyphenols called catechins. One catechin in particular, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) has demonstrated extraordinary free radical quenching power in laboratory studies. One capsule of Protocol For Life Balance EGCg possesses the phytonutrient content equal to about 2-3 cups of green tea.
