Product Usage

(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the most abundant and potent catechin found in green tea, is a world-renowned antioxidant widely utilized in the nutraceutical and functional food industries. It is a primary active ingredient in dietary supplements aimed at weight management, metabolic support, and cardiovascular protection. In the cosmetic and dermo-pharmaceutical sector, EGCG is highly prized for its anti-inflammatory and photoprotective properties, often incorporated into high-end skincare formulations to prevent UV-induced damage and slow the signs of aging. Beyond consumer goods, it plays a vital role in biomedical research, where it is studied for its potential in cancer prevention and its ability to inhibit protein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, its natural antimicrobial properties make it an effective food preservative, helping to extend shelf life and maintain the nutritional integrity of processed oils and fats.
