Why It Works
Benefits
Gallic-type catechin delivers dual-action support for body fat reduction through scientifically studied mechanisms.
Inhibits Fat Absorption
Gallic-type catechin blocks pancreatic lipase, the digestive enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary fats. By inhibiting this enzyme's activity, the catechin prevents fat from being absorbed in the small intestine and increases fat excretion.
Clinically validated mechanismActivates Fat Burning
Beyond blocking fat absorption, gallic-type catechin activates beta-oxidation enzymes in the liver and muscles, enhancing your body's natural fat-burning processes. This targets visceral and subcutaneous fat deposits.
Research-backed ingredientReduces Post-Meal Triglycerides
The compound helps reduce post-meal blood triglyceride levels, contributing to overall metabolic health. Particularly beneficial when taking the supplement during high-calorie or high-fat meals.

Patented manufacturing processThe Science
How It Works
Understanding how gallic-type catechin supports body fat reduction through dual mechanisms.
Fat Absorption Inhibition
Key mechanism:
- Fat enters small intestine
- Catechin blocks lipase enzyme activity
- Undigested fat passes through and is excreted
- 8-12 weeks shows measurable fat reduction
Proprietary Catechin Extraction
Quality features:
- Personal quality verification at source locations
- Higher purity than standard extracts
- 394mg gallic-type catechin per daily serving
Concentrated Tablet Delivery
Benefits:
- 6 tablets = 8 cups of green tea catechins
- No bitter taste of concentrated tea
- Easy to take with meals
The Science
Research & Evidence
This catechin supplement is registered as a Functional Food with Health Claims, meaning its health benefits have been reported to Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency.
Clinical Evidence for Body Fat Reduction—Comparison study tracking abdominal total fat area changes over 12 weeks. Participants consuming gallic-type catechin showed decreased body fat compared to control group at 4, 8, and 12-week intervals.
How Gallate-Type Catechin Works—Gallate-type catechins inhibit the activity of lipase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down dietary fat. By blocking lipase, less fat is absorbed during digestion—the unabsorbed fat is naturally excreted from the body.
A Note on Evidence: We present research on ingredients, not specific product claims. Individual results may vary. This supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
