EGCG Complex - The easiest and most complete way to take EGCG

EGCG Complex from EssentialSeries is a formula based on natural Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate from a high-concentration green tea leaf extract, combined with BioPerine^®, a patented black pepper fruit extract with a high piperine content to optimize catechin metabolism; plus Vitamin C + Zinc.

A capsule presentation designed to make it easy to use the most famous, studied, and relevant catechin in natural green tea composition: EGCG. Combined with agents aimed at optimizing its absorption and overall effectiveness as a compound, along with important nutrients with synergistic mechanisms to complete the product’s effectiveness.

EGCG Complex from HSN is a 'must-have' for those looking to benefit from this catechin’s properties, whether as part of a thermogenic stack or just for personal care, since it contains no stimulants in its formula.

Natural green tea EGCG

EGCG (Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate) is a catechin, a type of compound characteristic of different tea varieties; it’s structured as an ester of gallic acid and epigallocatechin. It’s the main polyphenol found in green tea leaves, which are the plant’s most bioactive part.

Many EGCGs on the market come in ultra-purified versions, around 90%, but achieved through synthetic processing; this method is chosen because it’s cheaper and more accessible for the company selling it, lowering production costs. However, EGCG is naturally present in green tea, so we thought, why not make the most of it?

95% EGCG - Without significant content of other catechins

Green tea extracts have varying EGCG concentrations, as long as they’re standardized, which already shows good quality control, ranging between 10-15% and 35-45%; this is only part of the product’s total polyphenol content. Our Green Tea Extract (25:1) 500mg provides that 45%, which is already a high EGCG content.

However, for exclusive use of this compound or to maximize its properties, this amount might be inefficient, so we created EGCG Complex as an optimized way to deliver this specific catechin, with a formula tailored to its specific properties.

Added piperine to optimize effectiveness

Green tea catechins have been debated for decades due to inconsistent results regarding their properties; however, we now know these inconsistencies come from lack of care and consideration for absorption.

Piperine is an alkaloid naturally found in black pepper fruit (Piper nigrum) in varying amounts. In our EGCG Complex, we’ve added a patented black pepper fruit extract from the renowned company Sabinsa, standardized to 98.5% natural piperine.

Complex with vitamin C and zinc mineral, why?

EGCG Complex is a 'complex' because besides providing epigallocatechin gallate and piperine, its formula is complemented with other nutrients that have nutritional relevance related to the primary effects of tea catechins.

142,5 mg of pure EGCG per capsule - Properties

Each vegetable capsule of EGCG Complex provides 142,5 mg of Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate, equivalent to 285 mg per recommended daily dose of two capsules.

The Epigallocatechin Gallate used comes from the species Camellia sinensis (green tea), which is recognized as a natural source of antioxidants.

Caffeine-free - Can be taken even at night 

One of the biggest concerns is the stimulant content of products providing EGCG, since part of their properties are naturally linked to metabolism benefits, many products simply provide green tea extracts with significant caffeine content.

Not everyone wants to consume caffeine, as it limits catechin product use, preventing intake at night due to negative effects on rest.

What to combine EGCG with? Here are some suggestions:

EGCG can be combined with multiple products depending on your goals. At HSN, we make it easy and recommend combining it with different formulas to reach your targets:

•  If you want cholesterol control: Combine it with Fitosteroles Complex.
•  If you want to support blood glucose: With Chromium Picolinate.
•  And if you want to benefit from metabolic effects, we recommend a classic but effective combo:

A combination you can find in the Cutting Complex formula from Vitaminalia. Don’t miss it!
