Green Tea: Popular around the World

Green tea is one of the most popular herbal supplements in the world. It has been used for thousands of years, especially by Asian cultures, for its many health benefits. These benefits include immune support and breast, prostate, and heart health.

Green tea is also commonly used in diet pills because of its ability to raise the metabolism and burn fat. In November 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers there found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo. However, further research is needed before a claim about a specific health benefit regarding weight loss can be made.

EGCG: The Power behind Green Tea

Green tea leaf is rich in catechin polyphenols including EGCG, a powerful antioxidant. Research indicates that EGCG may be beneficial for heart and circulatory health. The effects of green tea and EGCG have been studied extensively at the Mayo Clinic.
