Camellia sinensis leaf extract, also known as green tea extract, is a concentrated form of the beneficial compounds found in tea, especially green tea. It is rich in catechins, caffeine, and L-theanine, which are responsible for its various health benefits. These benefits include improved skin health, heart health, anticancer effects, immune system boosting, stress and anxiety reduction, and potential weight loss. However, it may cause side effects such as jitteriness, headaches, skin rashes, nausea, diarrhea, and in rare cases, liver toxicity.
