(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (Cat No.:I005735) is a naturally occurring polyphenol found abundantly in green tea. It is known for its diverse pharmacological activities and has been extensively studied for its potential health benefits. EGCG exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. It has been shown to scavenge free radicals, protect against oxidative stress, and reduce inflammation. EGCG also has antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and viruses. In addition, it has been investigated for its potential in cancer prevention and treatment due to its ability to inhibit tumor cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and inhibit angiogenesis.
