Green tea extract is derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, renowned for its potent antioxidant properties and health benefits. It contains polyphenols, particularly catechins, which are believed to offer various health-promoting effects, including supporting heart health and aiding weight management. Green tea extract can be produced organically, sourced from tea plants grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs. Organic certification ensures adherence to strict organic farming practices, prioritizing environmental sustainability and purity.
