Health Benefits of Epigallo-Catechin-Gallate

Aging Process

EGCG may retard the Aging Process in the Skin (photoaging).

Cardiovascular System

Immune System

EGCG may help to prevent and inhibit the growth of many forms of Cancer:

• EGCG may inhibit the synthesis of endogenous Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) in tumor cells (but does not affect the DNA content of normal Cells). It also inhibits the process of angiogenesis.
• EGCG may stimulate Apoptosis in some types of Cancer Cells.
• EGCG may help to prevent Breast Cancer.
• EGCG may help to prevent Colon Cancer.
• EGCG may help to prevent Duodenal Cancer.
• ECGC may help to prevent Liver Cancer.
• EGCG may inhibit the proliferation of Leukemia Cells in persons afflicted with the Acute Myeloblastic form of Leukemia (by blocking growth factors required by Leukemia Cells).
• EGCG may help to prevent Lung Cancer.
• EGCG may help to prevent Mouth Cancer.
• EGCG may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.
• EGCG may help to prevent Sarcomas.

• EGCG may inhibit the growth of Melanoma.
• EGCG may help to prevent Stomach Cancer and stimulates the apoptosis (programmed cell death) of existing Stomach Cancer cells. EGCG may inhibit the metastasis of Cancer cells to other regions of the body by inhibiting the secretion of Collagenase by Cancer cells.

Metabolism

EGCG possesses potent Antioxidant properties:

• EGCG may inhibit the ability of Iron to generate Free Radicals.
  

Nervous System

EGCG may suppress Appetite.

Oral Health

EGCG may inhibit the formation of the Plaque that leads to Tooth Decay.

Skin

EGCG may inhibit the ability of the Ultra-Violet Radiation component of Sunlight to damage the Skin (i.e. EGCG helps to retard photoaging of the Skin).

• EGCG may protect the Langerhans Cells of the Epidermis from the damage inflicted by exposure to Ultra - Violet Radiation.
• EGCG may help to prevent Sunburn.

EGCG may Enhance the Function of these Substances

Nucleic Acids

EGCG may protect the body’s endogenous Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) from damage.

Pharmaceutical Drugs

EGCG may enhance the ability of Doxorubicin to kill Cancer cells.

Proteins

Aldehydes

EGCG may inhibit Iron-induced Malondialdehyde generation.

Amines

EGCG may reduce the carcinogenicity of Heterocyclic Aromatic Amines (HAAs) (by interfering with the ability of p450 Enzymes to activate HAAs).

Electromagnetic Radiation

EGCG may protect the body’s Cells against the damage caused by Radioactivity.
EGCG may inhibit the ability of Ultra-Violet Radiation to damage the Skin.

Enzymes

EGCG may inhibit the activity of 5-Alpha Reductase (Type 1).
EGCG may inhibit Collagenase, may inhibit the secretion of Collagenase by Cancer cells and may inhibit the ability of Ultra-Violet Radiation to increase the activity of Collagenase in the Skin.
EGCG may inhibit Ornithine Decarboxylase.

EGCG may inhibit the ability of Thrombin to participate in Blood Clotting.
EGCG may counteract the ability of Urokinase to facilitate the spread of Cancer cells.

Hormones

EGCG may inhibit the ability of Platelet Aggregating Factor (PAF) to initiate Blood Clotting.

Minerals

EGCG may inhibit the ability of Iron to generate Free Radicals.

Pharmaceutical Drugs

EGCG may protect against the damage to the Cardiac Muscle of the Heart that can occur as a result of Doxorubicin therapy.

Proteins

EGCG may inhibit Activator Protein 1 (AP-1).
EGCG may inhibit the activation of Nuclear Factor-Kappa B (NF-Kappa B).

These Substances may Enhance the Function of EGCG

Polyphenols

Curcumin is synergistic with EGCG (in terms of the ability of EGCG to prevent Mouth Cancer).

Dietary Sources of EGCG

Beverages: Wine
Herbs: Fo-Ti Green Tea
One cup of Green Tea contains approximately 10 mg - 25 mg of EGCG.

Dosage Recommendations

The optimal intake of EGCG is approximately 100 mg per day.
