Abstract
The polyphenolic compound (â)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major catechin found in green tea and is thought to impart many of the health benefits attributed to this beverage. The latest clinical studies have supported some of the potential health benefits of consuming green tea and EGCG. The results from significant clinical studies and the most recent work in the area of stereoselective EGCG synthesis are described.
