Teavigo® - pure EGCG from green tea for innovative oral care products
Fresh advice for fresh breath
Green tea has been well known in Asian countries for its many healthful
benefits. A cup of green tea enjoyed after meals is traditionally believed to
prevent tooth decay. Later, scientific studies have demonstrated that the
catechin fraction of green tea, which mostly consists of EGCG
(Epigallocatechin Gallate), plays a pivotal role in the preservation of
healthy teeth and gums, and promotes anti-microbial activity and helps keep
the breath fresh. Teavigo® is a white crystalline powder and easy to add to
typical oral care products. In spite of a huge variety of different oral
hygiene products and sophisticated tooth brushing devices the consumer can
choose from plaque formation, caries and gingivitis have remained an issue of
serious concern, affecting a large part of the World’s population.
