About this page: Data is drawn from Nutriofia's structured database of published sources (CoFID, USDA, and published analytical literature). The coverage bar shows what percentage of our 1126 foods have been measured for Catechin (+). This is a research tool — nothing here constitutes medical advice.

About Catechin (+)

Catechin is a flavan-3-ol (flavanol) found in tea, red wine, chocolate and many fruits. It is a potent antioxidant and contributes to the cardiovascular benefits associated with green tea and cocoa consumption.

⚠️ Too little

No deficiency disease; not an essential nutrient.

🚫 Too much

Very high intakes from green tea extracts have rarely been associated with liver injury; amounts from food and normal tea consumption are safe.
