Green Tea Extract, a healthy antioxidant for weight management


Adding antioxidants in your diet will not only keep your skin looking healthy, vibrant and hydrated but certain antioxidants can be beneficial for those wanting to lose weight as well. Recent findings suggest green tea extract helped reduce body fat mass, visceral fat and subcutaneous fat in a 12-week, double-blind study of 195 healthy normal to overweight men and women, aged 24 to 64 years old.

Green Tea’s powerful antioxidant power

Green tea extract is rich in catechins and eigallocatechingallate, known as very powerful antioxidants. These compounds increase thermogenesis, or the body’s rate of burning fat calories, according to a recent study by professor Abdul Dulloo of the Institute of Physiology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. The antioxidant power of green tea extract is 200 times more powerful than that of vitamin E, and 25 to 100 times more powerful than the antioxidant effect of vitamin C.

When green tea extract and grape seed extract are combined not only do you have more antioxidant activity you can actually reconstitute more vitamin E and C for your body to use in rebuilding cartilage, connective tissue and help fight off the signs of aging.
