Description
The most abundant and potent catechin in tea, EGCG accounts for 50-80% of total catechins in green tea. It is a powerful antioxidant with approximately 25-100 times the potency of vitamins C and E. EGCG is most concentrated in shade-grown green teas and rapidly degrades during oxidation, making green and white teas the richest sources. Heat, pH, and storage conditions significantly affect EGCG stability.
