Tegreen 97 (Australia)

Tegreen 97 is Nu Skin's concentrated green tea extract, standardised to 97% polyphenols with a high catechin content including EGCG — the compound most studied for antioxidant activity. Each capsule delivers the antioxidant equivalent of roughly 7 cups of green tea, but with only ~4 mg of caffeine compared to the ~50 mg you'd get from drinking actual green tea. It's one of the most efficient ways to support your body's antioxidant defence without the jitters or sleep disruption that come with high-caffeine intake.

What Makes It Different

Most green tea supplements on the Australian market aren't standardised to a specific polyphenol percentage — they'll list "green tea extract" on the label without telling you how much of the active compounds you're actually getting. Tegreen 97 is standardised to 97% polyphenols and a minimum catechin content, so the potency is consistent from capsule to capsule. That matters because polyphenol content in raw green tea varies wildly depending on harvest timing, processing, and storage conditions.

The caffeine reduction is worth noting. A standard cup of brewed green tea contains around 30–50 mg of caffeine. Tegreen 97 contains approximately 4 mg per capsule — roughly 92% less caffeine than a single cup. For people who are caffeine-sensitive or already consuming coffee daily, this means you can get the antioxidant benefits without stacking additional stimulants. According to Cabrera C, et al. in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (2006;25(2):79-99), green tea catechins — particularly EGCG — demonstrate significant free radical scavenging activity in human studies.

Key Ingredients

EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate): The most abundant and most researched catechin in green tea. EGCG acts as a potent antioxidant by donating hydrogen atoms to neutralise reactive oxygen species. It's been the subject of over 6,000 published studies examining its role in cellular protection and immune support. EGCG accounts for roughly 50–80% of the total catechin content in quality green tea extracts.

Polyphenols (97% standardised): Polyphenols are plant-based compounds that support the body's antioxidant defence systems. At 97% concentration, Tegreen delivers a significantly higher polyphenol density than drinking green tea — you'd need to consume 7+ cups daily to match a single capsule's polyphenol content. Polyphenols also support healthy immune function through their interaction with gut microbiota.

Catechins (broad spectrum): Beyond EGCG, Tegreen contains other catechins including epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin (EGC). Each has slightly different antioxidant mechanisms and tissue affinities, so the broad spectrum provides more comprehensive cellular protection than isolated EGCG supplements. The combination mirrors the natural catechin profile of high-quality green tea leaves.

How Australians Are Using It

The recommended dose is 1–4 capsules daily, taken with food. Most users start with 1 capsule in the morning and increase gradually based on how they respond. Because the caffeine content is minimal (~4 mg per capsule), it won't interfere with sleep even if taken in the afternoon. In Australia's climate — particularly in Queensland and Northern Territory where UV exposure is high year-round — antioxidant support is especially relevant for skin and cellular health.

Who Is This For

Tegreen 97 suits anyone looking for concentrated antioxidant support without significant caffeine intake. It's particularly popular with Australians who've cut back on coffee but still want the protective benefits associated with green tea polyphenols. If you're already drinking 3+ cups of coffee daily, the low-caffeine formula means you're not adding to your total stimulant load.

FAQ

Can I buy Tegreen 97 in Australia without signing up?
Yes. NuBest Skin sells Tegreen 97 directly — no Nu Skin membership, registration, or auto-ship commitment required. Add to cart, pay, and it ships from the official Nu Skin warehouse in Australia.

Is Tegreen 97 caffeine-free?
Not completely — each capsule contains approximately 4 mg of caffeine. That's about 92% less than a standard cup of green tea (~50 mg) and roughly 96% less than a cup of coffee (~100 mg). Most caffeine-sensitive individuals tolerate it well, but if you're extremely sensitive, start with 1 capsule and assess.

How long before I notice any effects?
Antioxidant support works at the cellular level, so you won't feel an immediate "buzz" like you would with caffeine. Most users who track biomarkers or skin health report noticing differences after 6–8 weeks of consistent daily use. It's a long-game supplement, not a quick fix.
