Green Tea Extract


Green Tea Extract.
I use this with ALL of my clients. Why? The benefits are amazing for green tea. Not only is Green Tea Dirt Cheap, but look at the Health benefits contained:
-high concentrations of polyphenols, which are fantastic antioxidants.
-reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease
-reduces the risk of dental cavities
-reduces the risk of kidney stones
- reduces the risk of cancer, especially breast cancer in women
- improves bone density and cognitive function
- reduces blood pressure.
- Controls cholesterol
And those are just the health benefits confirmed from science and research.
NOW... the BIGGEST problem is the content of what is actually in each green tea extract. The ones my clients use contain the following:
Each cap = 500mg.
>98% polyphenols, >75% catechin, >50% EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and 3% naturally occuring caffeine.
What does that all mean?
The polyphenols, which provide the great antioxidant support, are plentiful. Nothing is short changed there.
Catechin – specific types of polyphenols, the two terms can be used almost interchangeably
EGCG – a type of catechin, The most powerful catechin of them all, providing all the health benefits
Caffeine- something cheaper versions will try to ram into their capsule. Why? It’s VERY cheap and you “feel” caffeine. This is only 3%. Nice.
Now here is the REAL GOOD stuff!

Fat oxidation is greatly elevated when taking green tea extract. It not only encourages Fat to be used for energy, but will elevate the metabolism, causing more effective usage of food and for your cardio sessions! On top of tons of health benefits, we have fat loss too!??!?! What more do you want!

  2. also, supplement companies MAY put extra green tea into their extract, but not the company of which I deal with. also... i looked over your website...

    the prices are astronomical, and the products are almost identical, with the supposed "weigh loss miracle" claims yet to be proven. so, I'll take my chances paying 25$ for 2 months versus 57$ for one month.

    thank you for your post however!
