3. The Science of Cellular Longevity
EGCG is the most significant catechin in green tea, providing profound biological benefits:
-
Potent Radical Scavenging: EGCG is estimated to be 25–100 times more potent than Vitamins C and E in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS).
-
Metabolic Thermogenesis: It inhibits the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), which helps prolong the action of norepinephrine, thereby increasing fat oxidation and energy expenditure.
-
Cardiovascular Support: Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and supports endothelial function by promoting nitric oxide production.
