EGCG doesn't work the way the label claims

Most green tea extract supplements say "antioxidant." The actual mechanism that drives weight management results is COMT inhibition (extending norepinephrine activity) + AMPK activation (thermogenesis). Those are pharmacological actions, not "antioxidant properties." Selling EGCG as an antioxidant is like selling aspirin as a headache remedy and ignoring its cardiovascular mechanism.Publications of interest:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30524290/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18197555/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28137482/
