AOR AOR - Active Green Tea, 90 vcaps

AOR Active Green Tea - A high-potency standardized extract of green tea, high in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), believed to be the key phytonutrient in green tea, responsible for its health benefits. Studies most consistently report health benefits in persons drinking ten cups a day of high-EGCg sencha-style Japanese green tea; each cup of this tea contains 150 milligrams of EGCg. The labels of most green tea extracts exaggerate the number of cups of tea represented in their capsules by comparing the product to poor-quality teas. Active Green Tea allows you to more fully enjoy the healthy properties of a sencha-rich lifestyle without consuming large volumes of tea.

Why people keep reordering it

Year-round defense: Daily support for a resilient immune response.
Antioxidant support: Helps protect cells from everyday oxidative stress.
Tradition meets research: Time-tested ingredients in clinically informed doses.

Best suited to: wants concentrated catechins without drinking litres of tea, sensitive to caffeine but wants green tea's other compounds, comparing green tea extracts by actual egcg content.

What the research supports

Each capsule delivers 700 mg of green tea extract, providing 315 mg of EGCg. At three capsules a day, the 90-capsule bottle is a 30-day supply.

Studies use 300 to 800 mg of EGCg a day.

Antioxidants (evidence: moderate, from human rct, meta-analysis): Catechins like EGCg mop up free radicals in the bloodstream before they can damage cells. Trials in the 300 to 800 mg range consistently show this effect, and a single capsule here already reaches 315 mg.
Cholesterol (evidence: moderate, from human rct, meta-analysis): EGCg can slow the oxidation of LDL cholesterol particles, a step thought to make them more likely to build up in artery walls. Human trial results vary by dose and by who is taking it.
Metabolism (evidence: mixed, from human rct, small human studies): EGCg is thought to nudge the body toward burning more fat for fuel, an effect that seems to depend partly on caffeine acting alongside it. This capsule carries only 7 mg of caffeine, and trial results are inconsistent.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

wants concentrated catechins without drinking litres of tea: One capsule provides 315 mg of EGCg, roughly what several cups of high-grade sencha would supply.
sensitive to caffeine but wants green tea's other compounds: Each capsule carries only 7 mg of caffeine, far below a cup of coffee.
comparing green tea extracts by actual EGCg content: This one states EGCg and total catechins separately rather than just a generic extract weight.

Look elsewhere if

wants an energizing or focus supplement: A green tea extract that keeps its caffeine, or plain caffeine with L-theanine. This one is 7 mg of caffeine per capsule, deliberately stripped back to the catechins.

What to expect

Catechin and antioxidant effects from green tea extracts are generally studied over weeks to months, not hours, so there's no immediate feeling from taking it. With minimal caffeine per capsule, don't expect any noticeable energy lift either.

How it compares

Compared with a generic green tea extract capsule: This one specifies 315 mg of EGCg per capsule rather than a vague total extract weight, so you know what you're actually getting. The tradeoff: Standardized high-catechin extracts like this typically cost more per capsule than bulk green tea powders.
Compared with drinking brewed green tea: One capsule concentrates roughly the EGCg of several cups of high-quality sencha without the volume of liquid or the time to prepare it. The tradeoff: You lose the ritual and hydration of tea drinking, and get almost none of its caffeine-driven alertness.
