There are several variations and qualities of Green Tea Leaf.  bHIP Energy uses EGCG (Epigallocatchin gallate), which is found in Green Tea, and has been shown to help stimulate certain neurotransmitters that signal the body to increase energy expenditure.  In addition, EGCG is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants.  It has been shown to be 100 times more powerful than vitamin C at mopping up free radicals that cause cell damage, and 25 times stronger than vitamin E.  EGCG is so popular that millions of dollars are being spent around the world to further research the benefits of this amazing antioxidant.   bHIP Global uses a Green Tea that is specifically standardized for EGCG content.  This unique processing method makes the Green Tea ‘decaffeinated’.  The benefits of Green Tea in bHIP Energy synergistically work with the proprietary formula and are directly linked to the EGCG.
