LIPO Green Tea Details

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is remarkably high in polyphenols, which protect your body from the damaging effects of free radicals.† It’s popular for its array of antioxidant properties and health effects.†

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a key catechin within green tea, stands out for its potent antioxidant properties.† It shields cells from oxidative stress damage and protects cell integrity. †

*LIPO Green Tea contains only 11 mg of caffeine per capsule, but this low level may still be stimulatory to those sensitive to caffeine.†

10 X More Bioavailable than Regular Extract in a Clinical Trial

A small clinical study tested the bioavailability of the liposomal green tea extract (Origine 8™) used in the production of our LIPO Green Tea against standard green tea.

Participants took either standard green tea or our liposomal extract (200mg) twice daily for two separate periods. Blood samples were measured for 24 hours after each dose to compare their absorption.

 

Results of the study showed LIPO Green Tea Extract demonstrated several advantages when compared to conventional green tea extract:

  • Provided 12 times greater concentration of catechins than standard green tea extract.
  • Delivered all eight catechins in green tea, while only one was detected in the standard extract
  • Provided 10 times more EGCG in the blood, the most potent catechin.
  • Sustained catechins in the bloodstream for 24 hours, compared to 6 hours for standard extracts. This allows for just one dose per day, unlike standard extracts.

“The higher the catechins content in tea, the higher the antioxidant activity.” (1)

Oxalates

Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in many plants, including green tea.† While generally safe, some people may be sensitive to them and experience issues like bloating or kidney stones.†

LIPO Green Tea Extract has a negligible oxalate content of 0.14%, which translates to 0.10 mg (100 mcg per capsule).† In comparison, green tea powder contains 12.6 milligrams of oxalate per 2-gram serving.† (2)

Contraindications

Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Bleeding disorders and those using anti-coagulation medication such as Warfarin.

Bioavailability

The bioavailability of standard Green Tea catechins is quite low, around 1.68% in humans. (4). To address this issue, LIPO Green Tea Extract uses an advanced liposomal delivery system designed to improve the bioavailability, created for better absorption, and a slower release into the bloodstream.†

EGCG from Green Tea is one of the most powerful protectors of DNA in existence. This polyphenol is perfectly paired with your NAD+ precursors to protect your genome, your mitochondrial function, and your brain.

Here's how.

Liposomal delivery improves bioavailability over 90%

While EGCG from green tea is one of the most protective molecules available, it's also one of the least bioavailable.

The bioavailability of standard Green Tea catechins is quite low, around 1.68% in humans (1). To address this issue, we use a patented advanced dry liposomal delivery system.

This delivery system improves the bioavailability of LIPO EGCG Green Tea for better absorption and a slower release into the bloodstream.†

Complete Catechin Profile for Broad-Spectrum Benefits

LIPO EGCG Green Tea delivers all eight catechins naturally found in green tea, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), recognized for its potent antioxidant properties. By providing a full catechin profile, you are taking advantage of the entourage effect, where the bioactive molecules that are naturally present together in the plant remain together in the final formula, emulating and amplifying the green tea experience.

Potent Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Support

Green tea catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), are known for their potent antioxidant properties, which help to protect cellular structures by neutralizing free radicals—unstable molecules that can damage cellular components such as proteins, lipids, and DNA. By scavenging these reactive oxygen species (ROS), EGCG protects against oxidative stress, which is often linked to DNA damage and cellular aging. (3)

 

On a molecular level, EGCG and other catechins influence transcription factors involved in inflammation, including nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB). NF-kB is a protein complex that regulates the expression of various pro-inflammatory genes. Catechins appear to inhibit NF-kB activation by modulating upstream signaling pathways, minimizing the overexpression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This mechanism of action contributes to a balanced inflammatory response, which is necessary for cellular resilience and may additionally protect against the impact of oxidative stress over time.

Studies also indicate that catechins may support the body’s own antioxidant
enzyme systems, such as glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase,
further reinforcing the body’s defense against oxidative stress and inflammation.

 

Brain Health and Cognitive Support

The neuroprotective potential of green tea catechins is an exciting development for those who are concerned about protecting their brain health as they age. EGCG and other catechins are believed to cross the blood-brain barrier, enabling them to interact directly with neuronal cells.
Research suggests that catechins support brain health through several mechanisms, including the modulation of neuroinflammation, the promotion of neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons), and the protection of synaptic plasticity, which is vital for memory and learning. (4)

 

Catechins have also been shown to modulate specific cell-signaling pathways, such as the PI3K/Akt pathway, which plays a role in neuron survival and function. By triggering these pathways, EGCG may support the brain's natural regenerative processes. Additionally, catechins appear to protect
against the aggregation of beta-amyloid proteins, which are associated with age-related cognitive decline. Through these combined mechanisms, green tea catechins may help support cognitive function, mood stability, and overall brain health.

 

Heart and Metabolic Health

Green tea catechins, particularly EGCG, may be supportive to cardiovascular and metabolic health through their influence on cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and insulin sensitivity. EGCG has been observed to protect against the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Oxidized LDL is a risk factor for cardiovascular conditions as it contributes to arterial plaque formation. By protecting LDL from oxidative damage, catechins help to maintain arterial health and support balanced cholesterol levels. (5)

 

Additionally, catechins support metabolic health by influencing glucose metabolism. Research has shown that catechins can help to maintain normal insulin sensitivity, which may help regulate blood sugar levels. Mechanistically, catechins are thought to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in cellular energy homeostasis. AMPK activation promotes glucose uptake in cells and enhances fatty acid oxidation, which together support stable blood sugar levels and metabolic function. Some studies suggest that these effects may also contribute to body composition
management. (6, 7)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of liposomal delivery? Are liposomes really better?

When taken sublingually, approximately 30% of a 125 mg dose gets absorbed under the tongue, with the remainder being swallowed. At higher dosages, the % goes down, as the capillaries are full and have limited transport.

A much greater % makes it to bloodstream with liposomal delivery. Liposomes also protect the payload from degradation once in the bloodstream.

Lastly, Liposomes release the payload over a much longer period – up to 24 hours. This is better when taking larger dosages.

The rapid delivery to the bloodstream with Sublingual can be an advantage when taking before exercise. The energy surge most users feel is also nice confirmation that it is doing something.

What are the liquid and powdered liposome differences in bioavailability and stability?

Our liquid and powdered liposomes have approximately the same availability in the bloodstream, but the powdered liposomes release the payload more slowly over 24 hours. We don’t know if that makes it more effective than a faster release.

Powdered liposomal products have a shelf life of over two years, rather than the 12 months or so for liquid liposomal products when stored at room temp.

What's the difference between Liposomal vs. Delayed & Extended Release Caps?

Delayed Release & Extended Release Caps protect ingredients from stomach acid only. They delay, but don't really sustain ingredient release.

Liposomes protect the payload through the GI tract and into the bloodstream, then release more slowly up to 24 hours (depending on the liposome).

In addition to a big increase in bioavailability, they are truly sustained release. Any supplement known to have poor bioavailability should use liposomal delivery.

Are any of your liposomal products heat-sensitive?

The liposomal powder capsule products are not heat sensitive.

The liposomal gels however should not be exposed to heat exceeding 115 degrees Fahrenheit for more than a few days. Liposomes break down a bit when exposed to extended periods of high heat.
