WEIGHT LOSS MANIn most cases, GTE is effective as a fat-burner via a complex cellular mechanism involving catechins and caffeine. The addition of caffeine to the potent mix of catechins revs up your production of noradrenaline, pumping you with enough feel-good confidence to think you can arm wrestle someone .

The mere mention of "fat loss" might cue you to throw money at your screen, but let's consider the "catch" first. The fat-burning potential of GTE rests in the realm of 400-500 milligrams of ECGC—the most active catechin—per day. That's about 4-5 cups of strongly brewed tea.

  • HOW TO TAKE IT?

WEIGHT LOSS WOMENTo safely incorporate GTE supplements into your weight-loss regimen, consider drinking plenty of water; the caffeine and some ingredients in the supplements are diuretics. The GTE can be taken with or without food. However, if you want to maximize GTE's effectiveness, you should consider pairing supplementation with fish oil and quercetin, either in a meal or in supplement form. Both these nutrients have been shown to exert synergistic benefits and help increase green tea's bioavailability.

If you experience aforementioned general weirdness, you should first consult your doctor before adopting any sort of green tea-consuming habit.

  • BENEFITS VARY IN INDIVIDUALS

There are some folks who just don't tolerate the substances in green tea well—not out of choice, mind you. Some people may experience sudden heart palpitations, anxiety, and other general weirdness after taking green tea.If you experience aforementioned general weirdness, you should first consult your doctor before adopting any sort of green tea-consuming habit.

  • DOSAGE CAUTION

GREEN TEA PLANT BASEAs is usually the case with anything you eat or drink, the dosage makes the medicine or the poison. It's easy to forget that green tea (and hence, its supplement derivative) is a stimulant, so you may be tempted to get carried away and take more than is considered safe. Whichever green tea extract you take, be sure to check the dosage and refrain from taking more than the recommendations. Some case reports indicate that extremely high consumption of GTE could make one nauseated and experience discomfort. Always supplement wisely and listen to your body.At the same time, you do need to drink or take the proper dosage on a regular basis for significant benefits.

  • KNOW WHAT YOU GET

Green tea extract is usually an isolated form of one or more of the tea's catechins, the most potent of which is ECGC. Generally, any ingredient listed as "green tea extract" can contain anything between a significant amount of ECGC to mere tea leaves in capsule form. Most GTE supplements may have about 50 percent ECGC, but unless specified by the company, there's no standardized composition of the extract. The majority of GTE supplements may also contain appetite suppressants.When choosing a green tea extract, check the label to see how many milligrams of catechins a single pill contains.
