Frequently Asked Questions

What is EGCG and what makes it the key active in green tea?

EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is the most abundant catechin in green tea and accounts for most of its health benefits. It is a potent antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, inhibits inflammatory pathways, and modulates multiple cellular signalling processes involved in metabolism, cardiovascular health, and cancer prevention research.

How does NOW EGCg differ from standard green tea extract?

NOW EGCg is standardised to 50% EGCG content — meaning you know exactly how much active compound you are getting. Many green tea extracts are standardised to total polyphenols or catechins, which includes less active compounds. EGCG standardisation ensures higher potency per capsule.

Can green tea extract help with weight management?

EGCG combined with caffeine (even in small amounts as present in green tea extract) has been clinically shown to modestly increase metabolic rate and fat oxidation. It is not a weight-loss supplement but supports an overall healthy metabolism when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

How much caffeine is in NOW EGCg?

Each capsule contains a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine from the green tea extract — far less than drinking green tea or coffee. Check the label for the specific amount. If you are caffeine-sensitive, take earlier in the day.

Is NOW EGCg Green Tea Extract suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. NOW EGCg uses vegetable cellulose capsules and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is also non-GMO and GMP certified for quality assurance.
