DSM Nutritional Products introduces the Teavigo® Seal of Guarantee
Kaiseraugst,CH,03 May 2007

Green tea has been considered a healthy drink in Asia for centuries. And today scientific data demonstrate that green tea extract can play an active role in your overall health and increased sense of well-being, as evidenced by its strong antioxidant properties, positive role in weight management, oral care and more.

DSM Nutritional Products has a long-standing and proven track record of extracting the highest possible purity levels from natural sources, and Teavigo® is no exception. With patented and proven production methods, it has been possible to obtain a standardized and guaranteed purity level of a minimum of 94% on dry basis.

With the Teavigo® Seal of Guarantee DSM’s customers get a unique product compatible with a broad range of foods, beverages and dietary supplements. The Teavigo® Seal of Guarantee attests to natural and pure green tea extract (EGCG):

  • Free of caffeine, herbicide and pesticide residues

  • Little to no impact on taste and colour

  • Constant high purity

In addition, DSM’s solid safety and scientific documentation meets the regulatory requirements put forth by the EU and the US. “Teavigo® is the only green tea extract on the market with its own clinical data. We have developed a comprehensive set of efficacy data for our compound and we will continue to do so”, explains Frank Thielecke, Teavigo® Global Science Manager.
