Mine is what I said, 100mg green tea extract, with a guarantee that the
two listed items are present in the GTE to the minimum percentages
listed. I showed everything that's on the label. I did find another
brand of GTE that said it guaranteed only 65% of the main ingredient,
whereas this one guarantees 90% and also calls itself a standarized
extract, which the lower percentage one did not.
