Our Members Asked:
I purchased matcha green tea powder claiming to contain up to "137 times the EGCG" in brewed green tea, but the label does not list an amount of EGCG. Is the label true?
Answer:
Although this “137 times” claim appears on a number of products, it appears to be false and based on misleading and borrowed science. This, and a concern with lead contamination in matcha, is explained in the Brewed Green Tea vs. Matcha section of the Green Tea Product Review.
