Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the principal bioactive catechin in green tea, with thermogenic, antioxidant, and lipid-lowering properties; meta-analyses demonstrate modest but consistent reductions in body weight and cardiovascular risk factors including LDL cholesterol and blood pressure.

Meta-analysis of 11 RCTs found green tea catechins produced a statistically significant weight reduction of approximately 1.31 kg versus placebo; habitual caffeine intake and ethnicity moderated the effect, with low habitual caffeine consumers losing ~1.60 kg.
Meta-analysis of 55 RCTs (63 effect sizes) found green tea supplementation significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL-C, fasting blood glucose, and HbA1c, while increasing HDL-C and reducing diastolic blood pressure; effects were more pronounced with ≥12 weeks of supplementation at doses ≥1000 mg/day extract.
