Green Tea Extract helps people lose weight. It is not a "magic pill" against obesity, but it helps significantly. Researchers speculate that chemicals in the supplement called catechins are the active ingredients that fight fat. One specific catechin called epigallocate-chin- 3- gallate (EGCG) is particularly effective in promoting themogenesis (increased calorie use) and speeding weight loss. British researchers found that Green Tea Extract increased fat use by 17 percent during 15 minutes of aerobic exercise. In a second experiment involving blood sugar regulation after consuming a high sugar drink, Green Tea Extract lowered blood sugar faster than a placebo with less insulin release. Green Tea Extract has other health benefits. It reduces premature cell death and helps speed recovery after a heart attack or stroke. It also contains powerful antioxidants that protect the cells from freeradical damage. Free radicals are the destructive chemicals produced naturally during normal cellular metabolism that causes destruction of the healthy cell membranes, crucial DNA and promote heart disease, cancer and premature aging. An 11 year study of more than 40,000 Japanese adults found that regular consumption of Green Tea reduced death rates from all causes, and specifically from cardio-vascular disease. Green Tea Extract continually proves to be an excellent dietary supplement that promotes metabolic health and speeds weight loss naturally. American Journal Clinical Nutrition. 87:778-784,2008 Journal Medicinal Foods, 9:451-458,2006 Green tea is valuable in aiding weight loss by increasing the metabolicrate, causing those who use it to experience greater calorie burn. A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition validates Green Tea's effectiveness, indicating the ingestion of catechins (a major component of green tea extract) leads to both a lowering of body fat as well as cholesterol levels. Green Tea is also known to be useful as a glucose regulator, reducing the rise in blood sugar following a meal. It does this by slowing the action of a the digestive enzyme called amylase.This enzyme is necessary for the breakdown of starches (carbs), that can cause blood sugar levels to increase following a meal. Along with Chromium and Vitamin B6, Green Tea is beneficial in proper glucose management.
