Preferred Label : Green Tea Lozenge;
NCIt definition : A lozenge preparation of green tea, derived from the dried leaves of Camellia sinensis,
with potential antioxidant and chemopreventive activities. Green tea lozenge contains
polyphenols that are believed to be responsible for its chemopreventive effect. The
polyphenol fraction contains mainly Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and other catechins,
such as epicatechin (EC), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), and
epicatechin gallate (ECG). Green tea polyphenols act as antioxidants and free radical
scavengers, thereby protecting cells from reactive oxygen species and further damage.;
