powerful antioxidant in green tea with potential hair growth benefits

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a powerful antioxidant found predominantly in green tea. It has been studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and heart-protective effects. In the context of hair and alopecia, EGCG has shown promise in promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss by inhibiting the activity of hormones and enzymes that contribute to hair follicle shrinkage.
