Natural Weight Loss Supplement

GreenTeaPure Green Tea Extract is proven in study to increase thermogenesis and weight loss!

Already lauded as a powerful antioxidant, green tea extract may also help dieters shed fat, according to researchers reporting in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

GreenTeaPure Green Tea Extract may also be a safe improvement on traditional diet drugs because its benefits are "not accompanied by an increase in heart rate," writes Dr. Abdul Dulloo, of the University of Geneva in Switzerland.

As part of their study, the investigators measured the 24-hour energy expenditure of 10 healthy men receiving three doses of caffeine (50 mg), green tea extract (containing 50 mg caffeine and 90 mg EGCG), or a 'dummy' placebo per day.

The study authors report that, compared with placebo, treatment with green tea was associated with a "significant increase" (+4%) in daily energy expenditure. This effect was not linked to the relatively small amounts of caffeine found in tea, since subjects receiving amounts of caffeine similar to those found in green tea displayed no change in daily energy output.

Dulloo's team points out that there are only two ways to lose fat: "reduce energy intake (i.e., dieting), or increase energy expenditure." According to their analysis, green tea extract seems to perform the latter function, although the mechanisms behind its action remain unclear.

The investigators note, however, that green tea extract contains a high amount of catechin polyphenols. These compounds may work with other chemicals to increase levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis, where the body burns fuel such as fat to create heat.

"Stimulation of thermogenesis and fat oxidation by the green tea extract" did not raise subjects' heart rates, the researchers note. This may render green tea superior to stimulant diet drugs, which can have adverse cardiac effects, especially in "obese individuals with hypertension and other cardiovascular complications."

The Power of Green Tea

Green Tea Is Linked to A host of health benefits

You've probably heard that green tea has been associated with good health. But you may not know why. It's because green tea is rich in atioxidants, compounds found in many plants, fruits and vegetables that support cardio-vascular health and helps your ody fight free radicals.

GreenTeaPure Green Tea Extract is rich in polyphenol antioxidants.

Polyphenols are used primarily to ward off damage from free radicals. Free radicals are oxygen molecules that run rampant through the body, slamming into cells, damaging and destroying them.

The polyphenols in Green Tea Extract are catechins with multiple linked ring-like structures. The dominant and most important catechin in green tea is called (-) Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), a potent antioxidant. EGCG is over 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing the pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids in the brain. Most capsule forms of green tea extract contain from 40-50% polyphenols. GreenTeaPure, Green Tea Extract contains 98.7% polyphenols!

Though Green Tea is most-widely heralded for its antioxidant capabilities, it has a wide range of healthy applications. EGCG, has been found to provide many health benefits, such as:

protecting against digestive and respiratory infections
helping to block the cancer-promoting actions of carcinogens, ultraviolet light, and metastasis
discouraging platelet aggregation (clotting) to a degree similar to aspirin or Ginkgo biloba extract
inhibiting pathogenic bacteria that cause food poisoning
increases levels of acidophilus (friendly) bacteria
blocking the attachment of bacteria associated with dental caries (cavities) to the teeth

GreenTeaPure Green Tea Extract has been found to be non-toxic both in acute dosages and high, long-term dosages.
