What Is Green Tea Extract?
Green tea extract is prepared from the leaves of Camellia sinensis. It contains catechins, a group of plant polyphenols that includes epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
Cell studies examine how EGCG influences AMPK signalling and autophagy, the process through which cells break down and recycle components. Researchers assess these effects under defined experimental conditions.
These findings inform its selection for NovaStemix®. We consider the extract’s composition, specification and daily amount alongside the other ingredients within the complete 12-ingredient formula.
Ingredient Form & Specification
NovaStemix® uses a green tea leaf extract specified to contain at least 98% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This percentage describes the EGCG content of the extract itself.
We consider the extract’s composition, specification and daily amount alongside the other ingredients within the complete 12-ingredient formula.
The Science Behind
Cellular Mechanisms
Cell studies investigate how EGCG influences AMPK signalling and autophagy. Researchers assess changes in energy-sensing pathways and the breakdown and recycling of cellular components under defined experimental conditions.
Human Research
A 12-week randomised trial in 83 women with obesity assessed EGCG alongside an energy-restricted diet. Supplementation did not add significant improvements in weight loss or measured cardiometabolic markers compared with placebo.
Formulation Context
Extract composition, EGCG content, dose and study conditions matter when interpreting findings. We consider these factors alongside the ingredient’s specification and daily amount within the complete NovaStemix® formula.
Why It Is Included in NovaStemix®
We include green tea extract in NovaStemix® for its research profile in metabolic signalling and autophagy. Cell studies examine how EGCG influences AMPK, a regulator of cellular energy balance.
We consider this research alongside NR’s role as a precursor to NAD⁺ and coenzyme Q10’s role in mitochondrial electron transport. These distinct roles and research areas inform the formula’s design.
NovaStemix® uses a green tea leaf extract specified by its EGCG content. We consider its composition, specification and daily amount within the complete 12-ingredient formula.
