⚠ Compliance Notes

US market: Green tea extract is commonly used in supplement formulas. Suitable positioning includes antioxidant support, metabolism support, and healthy weight management support. Avoid disease claims and review caffeine disclosure when applicable.

EU / UK market: EGCG intake and green tea extract labeling require careful review in many European markets. Confirm finished-product EGCG per daily serving and warning language before launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What EGCG percentage should I choose?

40% to 50% EGCG is common for mainstream antioxidant and metabolism formulas. Higher grades such as 90% or 98% are used when brands need a smaller serving size or premium active positioning. Higher EGCG is not always better because daily intake limits and label warnings may apply in some markets.

Do you offer decaffeinated green tea extract?

Yes. Decaffeinated and low-caffeine grades are available for stimulant-free formulas. If your product is positioned as caffeine-free or stimulant-free, request caffeine testing on the COA and confirm your acceptable caffeine threshold.

What should I check on a Green Tea Extract COA?

Check EGCG percentage, total catechins or tea polyphenols, caffeine level, heavy metals, microbiology, pesticide status, and solvent residues. For EU-bound products, daily EGCG content and warning requirements should be reviewed before label approval.

What documentation comes with my order?

Every sample and bulk order includes COA, MSDS, and product specification sheet. For standardized grades, the COA includes the relevant active marker assay where applicable. Heavy metal data, microbiology results, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement, flow chart, and country of origin declaration are available for bulk orders.

What ingredients pair well with green tea EGCG?

Green tea pairs well with caffeine, L-theanine, berberine, bitter melon, chromium, turmeric, resveratrol, grape seed extract, vitamin C, and B vitamins depending on the formula. For stimulant-free products, use decaffeinated green tea and avoid caffeine-bearing partners.

What affects green tea extract pricing?

Price depends on EGCG percentage, catechin profile, caffeine limit, organic status, pesticide screening, and annual volume. High-EGCG and decaffeinated grades usually cost more because they require tighter processing and testing.

What is the minimum order and lead time?

Minimum bulk order is 1kg, with formulation samples available from 20g. Bulk lead time is usually 10–15 business days depending on selected specification, inventory, documentation requirements, and destination market.

EGCG note

For export formulas, do not choose a high-EGCG grade only because it looks stronger. Check finished-product daily EGCG exposure and target-market rules first.

Green tea extract sourcing notes

Green Tea L Theanine Content, EGCG Powder and Supplier Checks

Green tea extract buyer questions often mix EGCG powder, tea polyphenols, caffeine limits, and green tea L theanine content questions. For bulk sourcing, those terms should be separated into clear specifications so supplement brands receive the right Green Tea Extract EGCG material instead of a mismatched tea amino acid request.

Green tea L theanine contentGreen Tea Extract EGCG is usually standardized for EGCG, catechins or tea polyphenols. If a buyer needs L theanine, confirm whether it should be quoted as a separate amino acid ingredient.
Green tea extract EGCGConfirm EGCG assay, total catechins, tea polyphenols, caffeine level, source leaf, test method, residual solvent limits, heavy metals, microbiology, and carrier status.
EGCG powderEGCG powder can be quoted at different assay levels. Ask for target percentage, application, daily serving size, regulatory market, and whether the formula needs decaffeinated material.
Green tea extract supplierSupplier comparison should include batch-to-batch assay stability, COA format, allergen and GMO statements, sample lead time, MOQ, export documents, and repeat-order consistency.
