About This Product.

Green Tea Phytosome is a concentrated green tea extract built around EGCG — epigallocatechin gallate — the principal polyphenol in green tea that is most studied for its antioxidant and metabolic properties. What makes this formulation distinct from a standard green tea capsule is the phytosome delivery system, in which the EGCG is bound to a phospholipid complex. This bonding is designed to improve absorption through the gut wall compared to free polyphenol extracts, which are notoriously poorly absorbed.

In practical terms, that means less of the active compound wasted in transit and more reaching systemic circulation. Green tea polyphenols are studied for their potential to support healthy metabolic function, fat oxidation, and cellular defence against oxidative stress — relevant whether you are managing weight, training regularly, or simply looking to reinforce a nutrition-first approach to long-term health.

This sits well alongside a whole-food diet as a targeted nutritional complement. It is particularly suited to those who do not drink green tea regularly, or who want a more consistent and concentrated intake of EGCG than a brewed cup reliably delivers. Thorne is a brand our clinical team respects for its manufacturing rigour and formulation transparency. The phytosome technology here reflects a considered approach to bioavailability — not a marketing add-on, but a meaningful structural choice.

How to Take It

i.

Take 1 capsule one to two times daily, as directed on the packaging. Green tea extracts are generally well tolerated with food, which may also help minimise any sensitivity to the naturally occurring caffeine content.

Frequently Asked.

What is a phytosome and why does it matter?

A phytosome is a complex in which a plant-derived compound — here, EGCG — is bound to a phospholipid. Phospholipids are naturally compatible with the gut wall, so the complex is generally absorbed more efficiently than the free polyphenol. It is a formulation approach used to make a given dose more effective, not simply to justify a higher price.

Does this product contain caffeine?

Green tea extract naturally contains some caffeine, though the amount per capsule is considerably less than a brewed cup of coffee. If you are sensitive to caffeine, check the packaging for the specific content and consider taking it earlier in the day.

How does this compare to drinking green tea?

Brewed green tea varies considerably in its EGCG content depending on steep time, water temperature, and leaf quality. A standardised extract in phytosome form offers a more consistent and concentrated intake, which is particularly useful if you want a reliable daily amount without drinking multiple cups.

Who might want to avoid this?

Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, sensitive to caffeine, or taking medications that interact with antioxidant compounds should consult a doctor before use. Green tea extracts at higher concentrations are not suitable for everyone.

When is the best time to take it?

Most people take it with a meal, which can help with tolerability. Avoid taking it late in the evening if you are sensitive to caffeine, as the naturally occurring caffeine in green tea extract may affect sleep.

Noticed a difference within the first fortnight

4 months ago

I'd been meaning to try a green tea extract for ages after reading about EGCG. Started taking this a few weeks ago alongside my usual morning routine and I do feel like my energy levels are steadier through the day. Hard to attribute it to one thing but I've kept reordering, which says enough.

JW

Good addition to my stack

4 months ago

Take this with my omega-3 and vitamin D in the morning. No weird aftertaste, capsule goes down easy. I bought it specifically because of the phytosome delivery — wanted something that would actually absorb rather than just pass through. Happy so far.

O

Works well but pricey for the capsule count

5 months ago

Really like the quality and I do feel better taking it regularly — less sluggish in the afternoons. My only gripe is the bottle only contains 60 capsules which at the recommended dose runs out faster than I'd like for £25. Would buy a larger size if it existed.

PM

Swapped from a cheaper extract and glad I did

5 months ago

Used a standard green tea capsule from a high-street brand for over a year without noticing much. Switched to this after a recommendation and within a few weeks I felt the difference — more alert in training, better recovery. The absorption angle makes sense to me now.

Does exactly what it says. Stacks well with my pre-workout nutrition routine and doesn't upset my stomach like some extracts have in the past.

CB

Solid supplement, trust the brand

5 months ago

I've been using a few products from this brand for about two years now. The quality and consistency is reliable. This particular one I started taking when I was trying to tighten up my diet ahead of summer — felt like a sensible complement to eating cleaner. Would recommend.
