2 Clinical Trials
6 Documented Benefits
4/5 Evidence Score

Greenselect® Phytosome is a DECAFFEINATED GREEN TEA EXTRACT PHYTOSOME® developed by Indena (Italy) — using Phytosome® technology to enhance bioavailability of green tea catechins (especially EGCG). Distinguished by decaffeinated formulation, enhanced catechin bioavailability vs standard green tea, and clinical evidence for weight management. Used for: weight management, metabolic health, antioxidant support, cardiovascular adjunct.

Studied Dose 150 mg twice daily Greenselect Phytosome (research-validated dose)
Active Compound Green tea catechins (EGCG, ECG, EC) Phytosome® formulation; decaffeinated

Benefits

Weight Management — Body Composition

Multiple Greenselect Phytosome trials show body weight, BMI, and waist circumference reductions in overweight/obese subjects with hypocaloric diet. Phytosome bioavailability advantage delivers more catechins.

Supported by Trial 1

Decaffeinated — No Stimulant Effects

Decaffeinated formulation provides catechin benefits without caffeine — useful for: caffeine-sensitive individuals, evening use, those wanting catechin effects without stimulant.

Metabolic Health Support

Catechins (especially EGCG) modulate metabolic pathways including thermogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, glucose metabolism.

Supported by Trial 2

Antioxidant Activity

Green tea catechins are potent antioxidants; Phytosome bioavailability ensures effective tissue delivery.

Supported by Trial 1

Enhanced Bioavailability vs Standard Green Tea

Phytosome® technology improves catechin absorption — addresses standard green tea's bioavailability limitations.

Cardiovascular Markers

Some Greenselect trials show modest cholesterol and other cardiovascular marker improvements.

Supported by Trial 2

Mechanism of action

1

Phytosome® Catechin Bioavailability

Phytosome complexes catechins with phosphatidylcholine — improves absorption through intestinal membrane. Standard green tea catechins have variable bioavailability; Phytosome enhances.

2

EGCG Thermogenic Effects

EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) modulates thermogenesis and fat oxidation — mechanism for weight management applications.

3

Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) Inhibition

EGCG inhibits COMT — reduces norepinephrine breakdown; supports thermogenesis and fat oxidation.

4

Antioxidant Free Radical Scavenging

Catechins are potent antioxidants; protect cells from oxidative damage.

5

Decaffeination Process

Indena's decaffeinated processing preserves catechin content while removing caffeine — distinguishes from standard green tea extracts.

Clinical trials

1
Greenselect Phytosome for Weight Management — Multiple Trials
PubMed

Multiple RCTs of Greenselect Phytosome 150 mg BID with hypocaloric diet in overweight/obese subjects.

Overweight/obese adults across studies.

Significant body weight, BMI, waist circumference reductions vs hypocaloric diet alone. Established Greenselect weight management evidence.

2
Greenselect for Metabolic Markers
PubMed

Trials of Greenselect on metabolic and cardiovascular markers.

Adults with metabolic concerns.

Improvements in lipid markers, oxidative stress, metabolic parameters.

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

Generally well-tolerated.
Mild GI distress.
DECAFFEINATED — eliminates caffeine-related side effects of standard green tea.
Allergic reactions rare.
HEPATOTOXICITY — high-dose green tea catechin supplementation has been associated with rare hepatotoxicity in some individuals; verify product dose appropriate; AVOID with liver disease.

Important Drug interactions

ANTICOAGULANTS — green tea catechins have modest interactions (vitamin K content variable); consult.
Iron absorption — green tea catechins reduce non-heme iron absorption; relevant for iron-deficient.
Beta-blockers — theoretical interactions.
STATINS — possible interactions; monitor.
Pregnancy — moderate green tea intake safe; high-dose extracts limited safety data; AVOID concentrated supplementation in pregnancy.
Hepatotoxic medications — additive concern with high-dose catechins.
SOY ALLERGY — Phytosome phosphatidylcholine consideration.
