What EGCG is

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant and most studied catechin in green tea. It is examined for its thermogenic, antioxidant and metabolic-support properties.

How thermogenesis works

Thermogenesis is the body's natural process of producing heat by burning calories. EGCG is studied for its ability to support this process, potentially increasing calorie utilisation during daily activity.

What the research shows

Multiple studies show modest support for fat oxidation and calorie expenditure from green tea catechins. Effects are typically small but consistent across studies, and greater in combination with physical activity.

Practical takeaway

Green tea extract is one of the better-evidenced thermogenic botanicals, and a reasonable inclusion in a metabolic support formula like LipoBliss.
