| Green
Tea Extract
- Recent studies have shown green tea will facilitate liberating
stored body fat as a fuel and will help
increase energy levels and enhance metabolic rate.
Look
for a green tea extract standardized to at least 60% polyphenols
with EGCG as a marker compound.
If
you want to drink green tea, you will have to down about
to 4-10 cups of strong brewed green tea to get those amounts
of polyphenols.
A
human study of green tea extract containing 90 mg EGCG
taken three times daily concluded that
men taking the extract burned 266 more calories per day
than did those in the placebo group and that green tea
extract's thermogenic effects definitely play a role in
fat loss.
