Abstract
Epigallocatechin gallate is a tea catechin. It is predominatly found in tea (green, white, oolong and black teas), fruits (cranberries, strawberries, blackberries, kiwis, cherries, pears, peaches, apples and avocados), and nuts (pecans, pistachios, and hazelnuts). Catechins may be further categorized into a larger group of plant compounds known as polyphenols. Epicatechin, epigallocateching and epicatechin 3-gallate also offer similar benefits.  The most important pharmacological activities of EGCG are antineoplastic, HIV infection, hypertension and associated complications, type II diabetes mellitus, its usage as cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and its application in Alzheimer, Parkinson, and Osteoporosis. Its importance in cancer treatment is because of natural origin, safety, and low cost, but the main problem is its low bioavailability with various major limitations in EGCG studies.
