60 out of 100

EGCg Green Tea Extract 400 mg offers clearly described contents, with stated component shares that make the extract easier to compare.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality40

The green tea description identifies its key components. Their form quality remains uncertain, so clear naming alone does not establish a quality advantage.

Ingredient Transparency100

The amount, component names and individual shares are disclosed. That makes the extract's composition easy to check and compare.

Value For Money40

Value cannot be judged confidently. The relationship between the cost and the relevant green tea components remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction90

Customer feedback is very positive across a very large review base. That gives a broad view of satisfaction without confirming skin or longevity benefits.

Product Focus45

The extract has limited connections to skin-related research, with mixed results. Antioxidant activity and tea-related findings do not establish a cosmetic or longevity benefit from this preparation.
