Green tea is in many vitality blends for its catechins, not just its caffeine. Here is what EGCG and related compounds do, the evidence in men, how much tea research uses and the liver caution with concentrated extracts.
Catechins, Not Just Caffeine
Green tea's distinctive compounds are catechins, led by epigallocatechin gallate, EGCG. They are antioxidants with laboratory effects on inflammation, blood-vessel function and fat metabolism. A cup of green tea supplies roughly 50 to 100 milligrams of catechins and 30 to 50 milligrams of caffeine; extracts concentrate the catechins and vary widely in caffeine.
Evidence in Men
Population studies associate regular green tea drinking with lower cardiovascular risk and, in some cohorts, lower prostate-cancer incidence. Randomised trials of green tea extract show small improvements in blood pressure and LDL cholesterol and modest effects on body fat at several hundred milligrams of catechins a day. Effects on energy are mainly from the caffeine; effects on vitality are indirect, through vascular health.

Read the SodaPeak ReviewThe Liver Caution
Concentrated green tea extract at high doses, particularly on an empty stomach, has been linked to rare cases of liver injury. Regulators advise staying under around 800 milligrams of EGCG a day from supplements. Tea itself is not implicated. A small amount of green tea in a blend is far below this concern, but anyone with liver disease should check with a doctor about any green tea extract product.
In a Vitality Blend
Green tea in a small blend contributes a trace of caffeine and a modest amount of catechins, a reasonable inclusion for its vascular-support rationale. It is not a fat burner or stimulant at that level, and the page should print the caffeine figure so you can see that.
Where SodaPeak Fits
Green tea is one of SodaPeak's eight botanicals and the source of its printed 5 mg of natural caffeine. Our review page describes it as a gentle catechin-and-caffeine inclusion, not a stimulant or fat-loss component.
