EGCG: The Powerhouse Antioxidant in Matcha + Green Tea

It’s called EGCG.


What is EGCG

EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is a powerful antioxidant found mainly in green tea and matcha. It’s one of the most researched compounds in nutrition.

It’s been studied for its role in:

  • Focus and cognitive function
  • Metabolism and fat oxidation
  • Long-term brain health

Why It Matters
Most drinks today load up on trendy ingredients and adaptogen blends that look good on paper — but don’t always deliver results. LUCENT keeps it simple and science-backed. Our blend uses caffeine-rich matcha and green tea extracts, standardized for high polyphenol and catechin content, including a significant dose of EGCG.
Discover Lucent, our zero sugar matcha green tea drink crafted for clean, steady focus.


One antioxidant. Endless upside.

EGCG isn’t just studied for focus. Researchers are looking at its role across the whole body:

  • Immune function
  • Protecting cells from oxidative stress
  • Skin health and healthy ageing
  • Blood sugar balance
  • Inflammation
