Son composé le plus étudié est l'EGCG, une catéchine de la famille des polyphénols. Les feuilles contiennent aussi naturellement de la caféine et de la L-théanine.

Comparez toujours ces pourcentages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvec ou sans caféine ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCertains extraits sont décaféinés, d'autres conservent la caféine naturelle du thé.

Ne dépassez donc jamais la dose indiquée sur l'étiquette et prenez l'extrait au cours d'un repas. Évitez-le pendant la grossesse et l'allaitement, et demandez conseil à un professionnel de santé si vous suivez un traitement ou un suivi médical.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gen-extrait-de-the-vert-750-mg","title":"Green Tea Extract 750 mg | 180 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGreen Tea Extract by GEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Tea Extract by GEN is a supplement with 750 mg of \u003cstrong\u003egreen tea extract\u003c\/strong\u003e per capsule. The product is intended for people who primarily focus on standardization: how much extract does it contain, how many polyphenols does it provide, and how much EGCG do you get per daily dose? For this product, all of this is clearly stated on the label, so you don't have to guess. One jar contains 180 vegetable capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat green tea extract is exactly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen tea comes from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, the same plant from which black tea is also made. The difference lies in the processing: green tea is barely fermented, which preserves more of the original plant substances. In a regular cup of tea, you get an infusion of these leaves. In a capsule of this green tea extract, it is a highly concentrated form. One capsule provides 750 mg of extract. Of these, 735 mg are indicated as polyphenols and 338 mg as EGCG, spelled out as epigallocatechin gallate. These are catechins, a group of plant substances naturally present in the leaf. What many people don't know: the percentages on the label mainly inform about the standardization of the extract. Here, it is 98% polyphenols and 45% EGCG. This allows you to see at a glance how the extract is composed, without having to calculate with individual percentages yourself. For comparison: a regular cup of green tea contains, depending on the brewing method, roughly a few tens of milligrams of catechins, while this capsule provides hundreds. This difference in concentration is precisely why the usage recommendations are stricter for an extract than for tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 338 mg of EGCG per day stands out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose is simple: 1 capsule per day. This brings you to 338 mg of EGCG. This is an amount for which you should seriously consider the safety instructions, especially if you are also using other products containing green tea. In short: keep track of your total intake. The European Food Safety Authority has evaluated green tea catechins and pays particular attention to the daily amount of EGCG. This is why the limit of 800 mg of EGCG per day is mentioned on the label of this product. By sticking to one capsule, you easily stay below this. The manufacturer recommends taking it at breakfast or about 30 minutes before sports activity. Do not take this extract on an empty stomach. This advice is suitable for concentrated catechins, as taking it without food is less pleasant for some people's stomachs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference from a cup of green tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is particularly suitable for someone who is not looking for a blended formula, but a simple plant extract with a clear composition. You won't get a long list of ingredients with all sorts of additional substances. The focus is on this single green tea extract, on polyphenols, and on EGCG. The capsules are vegetable and the extract is presented on the packaging as caffeine-free, which distinguishes it from a regular cup of tea. It is nevertheless a highly concentrated extract. Therefore, do not see it as a substitute for regular green tea, nor as a product to be taken without limit in addition to other green tea products. The difference lies in the concentration: a capsule is compact and measurable, while a cup of tea can vary greatly in composition depending on the brewing method, temperature, and brewing time. Good to know: this product is presented as caffeine-free, while regular green tea naturally contains caffeine. This is one of the clearest differences between this capsule and a cup of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the usage instructions mean for you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith green tea extract, the right choice is not just about milligrams. The usage instruction is at least as important. Do not use more than 1 capsule per day and do not combine this product on the same day with other products containing green tea. Do not use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding or before the age of 18. In case of medication use, liver problems, or doubt, medical advice is recommended. Furthermore, do not take it on an empty stomach. This supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet and a thoughtful lifestyle. Good to know: the jar contains 180 capsules. At the indicated use of one capsule per day, this amounts to 180 daily doses, or about six months' supply with a single purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, this is a simple and highly standardized green tea extract with 750 mg per capsule, 735 mg of polyphenols, and 338 mg of EGCG. Since these figures are listed separately on the label, you know exactly what you are getting and can easily compare it with other extracts. For those looking for a clear plant extract and who take usage advice seriously, this is a compact choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386124148964,"sku":"gen-129","price":40.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/jDRbqOlf.jpg?v=1783855602"},{"product_id":"luto-super-greens-melange-superaliments-300g","title":"Super Greens (Superfood Blend) | 300 grams | LUTO Supplements","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSuper Greens Superfood Blend with 27 Types of Vegetables, Fruits \u0026amp; Extracts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA superfood powder that combines 27 types of vegetables, fruits, and plant extracts, including wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, and acerola. 10 grams per serving, 0 grams of carbohydrates, caffeine-free. 300 grams per jar.
