The key fraction of the tea leaf (Camellia sinensis) that provides all these health benefits is a group of phytochemicals known as Polyphenols. Long known as tea tannin because of their pungent taste, Polyphenols constitute 15 to 30% of unfermented dried green tea and most of the soluble portion of tea. Thus, when you drink a cup of green tea, you're basically drinking a solution of tea Polyphenols. In fresh, unfermented tea leaves, Polyphenols exist as a series of chemicals called catechins, which include gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), and epicatechin gallate (ECg).

Green tea is processed for Body Ecology in a manner that helps to retain and enhance high concentration levels of naturally occurring antioxidants. Green tea is not fermented.

Body Ecology extracts are made from green tea with approximately 15-30% of the weight of the leaf being composed of Polyphenols; over 50% of this Polyphenol fraction is comprised of (-) Epigallocatechin Gallate(EGCG), the most biologically active and influential Polyphenol in green tea.
