EGCG extract 50% | Camellia sinensis
Properties: EGCG has a wide spectrum of effects that are beneficial for the whole organism. It supports the brain by inhibiting the decomposition of acetylcholine and thereby boosting cognitive abilities such as memory, concentration, and creativity. Importantly, it has a protective influence on the nervous system, as it prevents the damage of neurons. This effect is due to its antioxidant properties – as an antioxidant EGCG is 100 times stronger than vitamin C. Therefore, it also benefits the general health, improves the skin condition, and slows down the aging process.Ā
As it turns out, EGCG can also benefit the cardiovascular system. It limits the ‘bad’ blood cholesterol and prevents the storage of fat in blood vessels. Hereby, it counteracts the development of serious cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis or hypertension. It is not the only effect of EGCG on fat metabolism. This compound also decreases the absorption of fats from the food and increases their digestion by intensifying the thermogenesis process. Therefore, it helps to lose extra pounds and control body weight.
Occurrence: EGCG is present in the leaves of green tea (Camellia sinensis) – one cup of tea contains from 30 to 100 mg of this substance. Trace amounts of EGCG can also be found in apple peel, plums, onions, and hazelnuts.
Biochemistry: EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is one of the four main catechins present in tea leaves. They are included in the group of flavonoids – organic substances that function as dies and antioxidants. Their main feature is the ability to inhibit the activity of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) – enzymes involved in neurotransmitter production and metabolism.
Fun fact: Kissa Yojoki (The Book of Tea) was written in 1192 by a Buddhist monk named Eisai. Its first part contains the description of the tea plant: the shape of its leaves and flowers as well as the methodology for its cultivation, harvest, and processing. In the second part, the benefits of tea on five main human organs, especially the heart, are thoroughly described. Today, we can establish that many of these effects are due to EGCG.
How does EGCG extract 50% | Camellia sinensis work?
Accelerates metabolism: Results of scientific studies demonstrate that EGCG stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondria are considered to be the energetic centers of each cell. The increase of their activity accelerates the metabolism. This effect in combination with decreased fat absorption leads to better body weight control. Importantly, EGCG has an ability to intensify the thermogenesis process, which leads to better burning of calories. Therefore, supplements that contain EGCG are often recommended for people with metabolic syndrome, which makes body weight control challenging.
Supports the nervous system: It is proven that EGCG stimulates the activity of the central nervous system. This effect relates to its ability to inhibit the decomposition of acetylcholine – a neurotransmitter crucial for the efficacy of cognitive processes. Increased activity of acetylcholine in the brain leads to better creativity and concentration, as well as improved memory (especially associative type). Additionally, EGCG supports neurogenesis – the development of new neural cells. Whatās more, we shouldnāt forget about its strong antioxidative properties and the fact that it protects the neural networks. Due to the reduction of oxidative stress EGCG diminishes the risk of beta-amyloid deposition and the development of neurodegenerative processes.
Regulates the immune system: EGCG prevents the spread of inflammation in the organism by decreasing the intensity of immune response to inflammatory factors. Moreover, it has intrinsic antibacterial properties – it has been proven that it inhibits the development of multiple strains of microorganisms such as staphylococcus aureus, as well as those that are part of the dental plaque. What is more, antioxidative properties of EGCG are important in cancer prevention. It is known that free radicals can destroy the DNA and stimulate the development of harmful mutations. EGCG neutralizes these reactive particles and thereby supports the protection of important cellular structures from damage.
Supports the cardiovascular system: EGCG supplementation decreases the amount of cholesterol in blood – including its “bad” part – LDL. The foundation of this effect lies in the ability of EGCG to inhibit the activity of digestive lipases – enzymes that decompose fats. Additionally, due to its antioxidative properties EGCG inhibits the oxidation of cholesterol, which in turn prevents accumulation of its deposits. Therefore, EGCG is an excellent support of the heart and the cardiovascular system. The newest research evidence suggests that EGCG could be applied as a remedy to androgenous hair loss too.
