Benefits of Green Tea: Fat Burner, Anti-Oxidant & More

NutraPlanet TEA-GCG™ is a reliable and affordable way to supply a super high quality green tea extract to your diet.

Green Tea, especially when extracted for high levels of a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is an anti-oxidant powerhouse, potent fat burner and all around health super food. In fact, green tea is one of the widely studied herbs in existence. As of 2004, there were over 1000 studies published that demonstrated the health benefits of green tea.

As an anti-oxidant, green tea has been proven to be remarkably powerful and safe. EGCG, the main anti-oxidant compounds, work to increase superoxide radical, the most common free radical in the human body. Green tea containing large amounts of EGCG is being studied for everything from bone formation to its role in fighting the flu.

Green Tea is found in numerous fat burner products on the market for its ability to increase norephedrine levels, thereby stimulating fat mobilization and usage for energy and promotes thermogenesis, upregulating the body’s metabolism while at work and at rest.

Because this product contains small levels of natural caffeine, it should not be used by those wishing to eliminate caffeine from their diet.
