Green Tea Extract FQA:
How much caffeine is in your Green Tea capsules, and what is the level of active components?
NOW Green Tea capsules contain approximately 8-9mg of caffeine per capsule, or 2-3% of the capsule's content. Studies have identified a number of different components in Green Tea Extract that may be responsible for its benefits. The most prevalent compounds are polyphenols, of which catechins are the most important. Green Tea Extract capsules contain an average of 40% catechins, and 11% is EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), thought to be the most active and effective of the catechins.
What process does NOW use to extract caffeine from Decaffeinated Green Tea?
We use a clean carbon dioxide extraction method that is safe and effective. Some companies utilize a chemical extraction process that uses ethylene acetate, but this process may leave a residue, and is not as safe as carbon dioxide extraction. Decaffeinated Green Tea is our only Green Tea product that is free of caffeine.
