Does green tea extract help with weight loss? Should i even waste my money buying it?

Answer 1

Yes. It helps with weight loss. You need to drink it without sugar or cream. Exercise and eating heallthy will help too. I am switching from drinking soda and sugar drinks to green tea and water.

Green tea has significant healing powers and may lower cholesterol, slow up the wrinkle process, and fight certain cancers. It may also help shed those unwanted pounds.

Circulatory & Blood Benefits from Green Tea:
Green tea may lower blood sugar levels, high blood pressure and bad cholesterol. Green tea may also reduce the risk of blood clots, strokes, heart disease, and heart attack.

Physical, Muscular & Skeletal Benefits of Green Tea:

Green tea may help prevent arthritis. May increase metabolism and accelerate weight loss. It may also slow the aging process and boost immunity. Green tea may also be useful in fighting infections.

Oral Health Benefits from Green Tea:
Green tea may help reduce cavities and prevent tooth decay. Gargling with green tea may help ward off flu viruses.

Green tea may also help prevent some types of cancers, as well as prevent certain diseases. It truly is one of the superheroes in the Beverage World as we know it.

Finally, green tea - as well as all teas, are natural, calorie free, fat free - as long as you don't add milk, sugar, honey, cream, artificial flavorings - etc. Tea is delicious and makes a great beverage whether hot or cold. And green tea, as well as oolong tea, just might help boost metabolism, burn fat and assist you in dropping pounds!

Answer 2

Yes it does, but not as much as some people make it out to be.

Green tea helps you lose weight because it contains catechins, caffeine and theanine. These compounds interact with each other when consumed and promotes weight loss, much more than individually alone.

Any high quality green tea will have an optimum level of these chemicals. In fact, loose-leaf green harvested using very young tea shoots have the most of these beneficial chemicals.

Green tea extract has catechins too. Compared to drinking green tea, it has three disadvantages:

* Green tea has more than 200 bioactive compounds, and scientists are increasing finding them they are synergistic. Green tea extract contains mainly catechins, so you are missing out on the other bits.

* Its health benefits are less studies, especially over the long term, than drinking green tea.

* You don't know the quality of the green tea that goes into making the extract. This is an increasing concern as low quality green tea may suffer from enviromental pollution, a concern for those who consume large quantity of the extract.

I hope it helps. The first link below contains a study that shows green tea extract helps lose weight.

The second link discusses further why loose-leaf green tea is the optimal for getting green tea health benefits.

I hope it helps.
