What the research says about green tea catechins
Educational summaries of published research on green tea catechins and green tea extract; not product-specific claims. AOR Active Green Tea's claim is the authorized antioxidant use under NPN 80005898 - read the safety section for the liver-health caution required on this ingredient.
Raises plasma antioxidant capacity
In healthy men, green tea catechin supplementation increased plasma antioxidant capacity and reduced a marker of phospholipid oxidation.
Human studyReduces markers of oxidative stress
Four weeks of daily green tea drinking lowered lipid-peroxidation markers and reduced oxidative changes in red blood cell membranes compared with water.
Human studyStructure explains antioxidant strength
A foundational review linking the chemical structure of tea catechins and other flavonoids to their free-radical-scavenging antioxidant activity.
ReviewLinked to lower cardiovascular mortality
In an 11-year cohort of over 40,000 Japanese adults, higher green tea consumption (5 or more cups/day) was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality - though not with lower cancer mortality.
Cohort studyTea flavonoids and artery health
In the Rotterdam Study of older adults, higher tea intake was associated with less severe aortic atherosclerosis.
Cohort studyReverses blood-vessel dysfunction in smokers
A single serving of green tea improved impaired endothelial (blood-vessel lining) function in healthy chronic smokers.
Human studyReduced body fat and oxidized LDL in men
Men who drank a catechin-rich tea for 12 weeks showed reductions in body fat and in a marker of oxidized LDL versus a lower-catechin control tea.
Human RCTIncreased 24-hour energy expenditure
A green tea extract rich in catechins and caffeine increased 24-hour energy expenditure and fat oxidation versus caffeine alone or placebo, suggesting catechins add an effect beyond caffeine.
Human RCTWeight-maintenance effect varied by habitual caffeine intake
A green tea-caffeine mixture helped sustain weight loss in people with low habitual caffeine intake, but showed no added benefit in high habitual consumers - real evidence, but inconsistent across individuals.
Human RCTAcute liver failure case reports
A published case report and literature review described acute liver failure in a patient using a concentrated green tea extract supplement - part of the evidence behind Health Canada's liver-injury caution for this ingredient.
Case report/reviewFulminant hepatitis during self-medication
A case report documented fulminant (severe, rapid-onset) hepatitis in a patient self-medicating with a concentrated hydroalcoholic green tea extract.
Case reportA recognized, rare risk with concentrated extracts
A clinical review described hepatotoxicity associated with concentrated green tea extract supplements as an uncommon but real safety signal, distinct from ordinary tea drinking.
ReviewTea polyphenols inhibit iron absorption
A review of dietary factors affecting iron absorption found tea's polyphenols meaningfully reduce non-heme iron uptake - part of the basis for the iron-deficiency caution on green tea extract labels.
ReviewTea drinking and population iron status
A review of tea's impact on iron status in the UK population recommended targeted advice for groups already at risk of iron deficiency.
ReviewPolyphenol beverages measurably reduce iron uptake
In controlled human feeding studies, polyphenol-containing beverages reduced non-heme iron absorption from a bread meal.
Human studyExtract supplements deliver more flavanols than brewed tea
Comparing green tea, black tea and a green tea extract supplement, the concentrated supplement delivered substantially higher flavanol doses and antioxidant activity than an equivalent serving of brewed tea.
Human studyDosing conditions change catechin absorption
In healthy volunteers, taking a standardized green tea catechin extract on an empty stomach versus with food changed how much catechin reached the bloodstream.
Human studyGreen and black tea antioxidants compare favorably
Black tea's theaflavins and green tea's catechins were found to be equally effective antioxidants in laboratory testing, despite their different chemical forms.
MechanismFoundational chemistry of green tea polyphenols
A classic review detailed how green tea's manufacturing process (heat-inactivating oxidizing enzymes) preserves its distinctive catechin-rich polyphenol profile compared with black or oolong tea.
ReviewA comprehensive look at green tea's active compounds
A review of green tea's phytoconstituents (catechins, other polyphenols, minerals and vitamins) and its studied antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, alongside quality-control considerations for supplement manufacturing.
ReviewCatechins as green tea's signature antioxidant
A review describing green tea's higher catechin content relative to black or oolong tea and its traditional use in Chinese medicine.
ReviewModerate caffeine intake and health
A comprehensive review concluded moderate daily caffeine intake (up to 400 mg/day for healthy adults) is not associated with adverse health effects, while flagging pregnant women and children as groups needing lower limits.
ReviewCaffeine improves mood and performance when fatigued
In a double-blind trial, repeated modest caffeine doses improved mood and task performance in both alert and fatigued volunteers.
Human RCTDose-related alertness during sleep loss
Higher caffeine doses produced measurably greater alertness during prolonged wakefulness in a placebo-controlled trial - context for this product's modest 7 mg caffeine per capsule (21 mg at the full 3-capsule dose).
Human RCTFrequently asked questions
How do I take AOR Active Green Tea?
Adults 18 years and older take 1 capsule 3 times daily with food, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner. This dose is formulated to equate the EGCG consumption used in leading Japanese antioxidant studies. Do not open, crush or chew the capsules - swallow them whole, and do not exceed the daily dose unless instructed by a practitioner.
How much EGCG and caffeine does each capsule provide?
Each capsule provides 700 mg of green tea extract (Camellia sinensis), standardized to 455 mg total catechins including 315 mg EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), plus 75 mg ECG, 30 mg EGC, 35 mg EC and 7 mg of naturally occurring caffeine.
Is there a liver safety concern with green tea extract?
Yes - Health Canada requires this caution on green tea extract products: rare, unpredictable cases of liver injury have been reported in Canada and internationally. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you have a liver disorder, and stop use and consult a practitioner if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, stomach pain, sweating, nausea, or unusual fatigue or loss of appetite.
Who should consult a health care practitioner before using this product?
Anyone with a liver disorder or an iron deficiency, anyone taking medications, and anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a health care practitioner before use, as should anyone considering use beyond 12 weeks.
Is it vegan and allergen-friendly?
Yes - the capsule is vegan (hypromellose) and the only non-medicinal ingredient is ascorbyl palmitate. The product does declare corn as an allergen; it is gluten-free and non-GMO.
How much caffeine will I get per day?
About 21 mg of caffeine per day at the full 3-capsule dose (7 mg per capsule) - well below a single cup of coffee's typical 80-100 mg.
Can I use this for weight management?
This product's label and NPN license support antioxidant use, not a weight-management claim. Some catechin research (cited below) has explored metabolic and weight effects, but always follow this product's own label directions rather than a different use.
