Description
Green tea extract, derived from Camellia sinensis, is a concentrated source of polyphenols, primarily catechins, with EGCG being the most studied. It's used for its potential antioxidant, cardiovascular, weight management, and cognitive benefits. While generally safe for most, potential side effects such as caffeine-related issues and gastrointestinal upset can occur. Rarely, liver toxicity has been reported. Dosage considerations are important, typically ranging from 250-750mg daily, and consulting a healthcare professional is advised, particularly for those with pre-existing health conditions.
