Epigallocatechin-3-gallate
ADVERTISEMENTS
The cancer-fighting properties of EGCG have been researched for more than 30 years now. Even though no link has been established between an increased intake of EGCG and a decreased chance of developing cancer, it is known to bind itself to cancer-spreading proteins, rending them immobile and ineffective. It is a polyphenolic compound that has also been used as an active ingredient in ancient Chinese medicines. Nowadays, you can find high concentrations of EGCG in green tea.
