Guide To Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)

Potential Side Effects And Risks 

In recent years, the potential benefits of epigallocatechin galate derived from natural sources were well documented. There are side effects and possible risks if it is derived in a highly processed form. Many people consider natural green tea to be beneficial and safe. Green tea powders, formulas and supplements containing this catechin may carry side effects and risks. Researchers found that higher doses of this compound, especially in supplement form, can cause oxidative stresses. This can lead to systemic inflammation and a variety of diseases.

It is possible to suffer liver damage or destruction of the epithelial layer that covers and protects a number of organs. In diabetic mice studies, the kidney damage caused by high levels of epigallocatechin galate led to a 60% increase in mortality. Some researchers have suggested that diabetic patients are at a higher risk of adverse effects if they consume abnormally large amounts of epigallocatechin gallate.
