Tegreen 97® (120 count) (USA)

The Post-Gym Green Tea Stack Most Americans Don't Know They're Missing

You're already tracking macros, scheduling recovery days, and downing protein shakes after every session at the gym. But if cellular antioxidant defense is part of your wellness equation, drinking seven cups of green tea a day isn't realistic — and it would load you with roughly 350mg of caffeine before dinner. Tegreen 97® solves that math problem precisely. One capsule delivers the polyphenol equivalent of approximately 7 cups of green tea with only ~9mg of naturally occurring caffeine, standardized to 97% polyphenols per capsule — one of the highest concentrations available in the US supplement market. At $63.00 for 120 capsules, this is a precision antioxidant tool, not a casual wellness afterthought.

⚠️ Caffeine notice: Each capsule contains approximately 9mg of naturally occurring caffeine. At 2–4 capsules daily, total caffeine is 18–36mg — well below a single cup of coffee (~95mg). Still, caffeine-sensitive individuals should take doses in the morning and consult a healthcare provider if needed.

Who It's For

• Best suited for: Adults focused on antioxidant protection, metabolic support, or immune health who want a standardized, research-aligned green tea catechin dose without consuming high volumes of brewed tea or caffeine.
• Also suited for: Office workers and commuters running on one cup of coffee who still want the cellular benefits of green tea polyphenols — without tipping into caffeine overload from adding 7 cups of tea on top.
• Less suited for: Anyone on blood-thinning medications (green tea catechins may interact with anticoagulants). Pregnant or nursing women should consult their healthcare provider before use.
• Pairs well with: LifePak® Anti-Aging Formula, ageLOC® Youth Anti-Aging Supplement, Marine Omega

What Makes Tegreen 97® Different

Walk into any Whole Foods, CVS, or Walgreens and you'll find green tea extract capsules ranging from $12 to $40. What most of them won't tell you is what percentage of polyphenols you're actually getting per capsule — because they're not standardized to a consistent level. Generic "green tea extract" products typically deliver 50–70% polyphenol content with inconsistent catechin profiles that can vary meaningfully between batches depending on leaf quality, harvest timing, and processing conditions.

Tegreen 97® is standardized to 97% polyphenols, with specific emphasis on EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) — the catechin most extensively studied for antioxidant activity, thermogenic support, and cellular protection. Standardization means you know exactly what concentration of active compounds you're getting every single day. That consistency matters if you're using this supplement as part of a structured wellness protocol rather than a sporadic add-on.

Key Ingredients

• Green tea catechins (97% polyphenols) — a standardized extract delivering EGCG, EGC, ECG, and EC in consistent concentrations per capsule. EGCG is the most potent catechin for antioxidant and thermogenic research outcomes.
• Minimal caffeine (~9mg per capsule) — naturally occurring, not added. At 2–4 capsules daily (18–36mg total), this is substantially lower than one cup of brewed green tea (~50mg) or coffee (~95mg), making it accessible to most caffeine-sensitive users.

How to Use

Take 2–4 capsules daily with meals. Start with 2 capsules and increase to 4 if well tolerated. Taking with food reduces the mild nausea that concentrated green tea extract can occasionally cause on an empty stomach. The low total caffeine content (18–36mg at 2–4 capsules daily) is unlikely to disrupt sleep even when taken in the afternoon, but caffeine-sensitive individuals should take all doses in the morning to be safe.

How It Compares

Feature	Tegreen 97® (Nu Skin)	Thorne Green Tea Phytosome	NOW Foods EGCg Green Tea
Polyphenol standardization	97% polyphenols	Phytosome complex (phospholipid-bound for absorption), standardized to 45% EGCG	~98% polyphenols, 45% EGCG by label
Caffeine per serving	~9mg per capsule (naturally occurring)	Decaffeinated formulation	Decaffeinated formulation
Catechin profile specificity	Full catechin spectrum: EGCG, EGC, ECG, EC	EGCG-focused; phytosome technology for enhanced bioavailability	EGCG-primary; broader polyphenol blend listed

Formulation differences reflect distinct approaches to green tea catechin delivery — standardization level, catechin breadth, and caffeine management each serve different user needs. Consult a healthcare provider to identify the right profile for your protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy Tegreen 97® in the US without signing up for a membership?

Yes. No Nu Skin membership or account registration is required to purchase through nubestskin.com/us. Orders ship from the official Nu Skin US warehouse, typically within 3–5 business days to continental US addresses. Alaska and Hawaii may require additional transit time.

How does Tegreen 97® compare to just drinking green tea every day?

Same beneficial compounds — significantly different delivery. One Tegreen 97® capsule provides the catechin equivalent of approximately 7 cups of brewed green tea, but with only ~9mg of caffeine instead of the ~350mg you'd accumulate from 7 cups. If you're already managing caffeine from coffee or pre-workout supplements, that difference matters. You get the polyphenol benefit without the caffeine stacking.

Is 97% polyphenols actually meaningful, or is it marketing language?

Standardization percentage matters because it defines how much of the active compounds (catechins) are present per capsule relative to total extract weight. A non-standardized "green tea extract" capsule could contain anywhere from 30% to 80% polyphenols — and that range shifts batch to batch. A 97% standardization means nearly the entire extract mass is active catechin content, not inert plant matter. That's what makes precise dosing and consistent research-aligned use possible.

Can I stack Tegreen 97® with LifePak® or ageLOC® Youth?

Yes. LifePak® includes green tea extract as part of its broader antioxidant complex, but at a lower concentrated dose than Tegreen 97® delivers. There's no safety concern combining them — they work in a complementary way within a broader antioxidant and longevity-support protocol. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you're managing any health condition or taking medications.

I'm caffeine-sensitive. Can I still use this?

Most caffeine-sensitive individuals tolerate Tegreen 97® well at 2 capsules daily (~18mg total caffeine), which is less than half a small cup of green tea. If you are extremely sensitive to any caffeine, start with 1 capsule with breakfast and assess your response. Avoid afternoon doses if you have any concern about sleep disruption.

Does Tegreen 97® interact with medications?

Green tea catechins, particularly EGCG, can interact with anticoagulant medications (such as warfarin) and may affect the absorption of certain drugs. If you take any prescription medication — especially blood thinners — consult your physician or pharmacist before adding Tegreen 97® to your routine. This is not a product-specific risk; it applies to concentrated green tea extracts as a category.

How long does 120 capsules last?

At 2 capsules daily (the starting dose), 120 capsules provides a 60-day supply. At the maximum dose of 4 capsules daily, it covers 30 days. Most users land at 2–3 capsules daily depending on their antioxidant goals, making this a 40–60 day supply for the majority of customers.

Is Tegreen 97® suitable for use during weight management programs?

Green tea catechins — particularly EGCG — have been studied in the context of thermogenesis and metabolic support. A meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2014, PMID: 24518747) confirmed measurable thermogenic effects at concentrated doses. Tegreen 97® can complement a weight management program, but it is not a weight-loss product and should not be positioned as one. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
