(-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate — decreases glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)
PreliminaryGrade D, Preliminary. Non-human or in vitro only.Finding“Notably, the reduction in HbA1c (WMD: -0.18%, 95% CI: -0.35, -0.02; P = 0.029) was small and may not equate to clinically meaningful benefits for all populations.”

(-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate — decreases HOMA-IR
PreliminaryGrade D, Preliminary. Non-human or in vitro only.Finding“The meta-analysis demonstrated that EGCG supplementation led to statistically significant, but modest, reductions in fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, and HOMA-IR.”
