Clinical Trials

Multiple completed clinical trials have evaluated Green Tea Extract across oncology and infectious disease, targeting conditions such as colorectal neoplasms, chronic hepatitis C, and oxidative stress. Sponsored by academic and governmental entities—including Seoul National University Hospital, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and the National Institutes of Health—these investigations encompass unphased and Phase 1 studies. Overall, this research assesses the extract's preventive efficacy against adenoma and colorectal cancer alongside its steady-state pharmacokinetic interactions.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Green Tea Extract contains bioactive catechins that scavenge reactive oxygen species and modulate key intracellular signaling cascades, thereby attenuating oxidative damage and inhibiting aberrant cellular proliferation. By suppressing oxidative stress and cell proliferation, this extract demonstrates therapeutic relevance across clinical trials evaluating colorectal neoplasms and chronic hepatitis C infection.
