I. (-)-Epicatechin Gallate (ECG)
(-)-Epicatechin Gallate (ECG) is a naturally occurring catechin compound predominantly found in green tea (Camellia sinensis), representing one of the major bioactive polyphenols in tea leaves. Recognized for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, ECG has been extensively studied for its ability to modulate cellular signaling pathways, support metabolic health, and provide neuroprotective effects. Scientific research indicates its role in promoting cardiovascular wellness, supporting healthy aging, and contributing to overall cellular protection through its powerful free radical scavenging activity.
