“…Oligonol (Amino Up Chemical Co., Sapporo, Japan) was derived from lychee fruit extract and green tea extract. Oligonol contained a polyphenol mixture of flavanols (≥80%) including 13–18% flavanol monomers (catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and EGCG), 14–18% dimers (Procyanidin A1, A2, B1, and B2 and epicatechin‐EGCG), 2–6% trimers (Epicatechin‐procyanidin A2), and ≥ 45% other phenolic compounds (other trimers, tetramers, oligomers, and polymers) examined by HPLC . The acute and subchronic toxicity of oligonol has been evaluated by using rats .…”
