Benefits of Green Tea, Concentrated
DSM Nutritional Products, the worlds leading producer of vitamins and carotenoids, has developed a patented process to further purify green tea extracts. This process permits concentration of the most important active principle of green tea, EGCG. EGCG is the most abundant catechin in green tea, and most of the scientifically validated health effects are attributed to this constituent. DSM offers this extract under the brand name TEAVIGO as an ingredient for foods, beverages and supplements. The company claims that while TEAVIGO contains the major benefits of pure green tea, it does not significantly alter color and taste of the food or beverage.
