Why Green tea leaf powder / matcha is unrated
Whole-leaf powder carries a lower, unstandardized catechin concentration than a standardized extract, so mg of powder and mg of extract are not equivalent doses; no human comparison was verified, so it is not ranked.
Why Decaffeinated green tea extract is unrated
Caffeine removed (relevant to stimulant load, since caffeine is tracked as its own compound); no human comparison of catechin efficacy or safety vs caffeinated extract was verified, so it is not ranked.
