ANTIOXIDANTS ARE ANTI-FAT

Further research on green tea has revealed the occurrence of strong antioxidants, known as polyphenols; particularly flavonoid and catechins. These two components are among the most researched elements in green tea following the drink’s effectiveness in promoting weight loss and preventing free radical damage.

Catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) works by reducing weight and body fat as well as boosting metabolism and oxidising fat.

However, you can’t fully enjoy the benefits of EGCG by drinking it. This is because research has also shown that our bodies have difficulty absorbing polyphenols such as EGCG.

Clinical studies have shown that Green Select® Phytosome® increases metabolic rate by boosting the effects of Norepinephrine, the hormone that helps break down fat and release energy into our bloodstream. EGCG coupled with Green Select® Phytosome® technology has proven to be the most effective combination to attain an ideal body weight.

Overall, scientific research has shown that EGCG induces good cholesterol (HDL), efficiently manages lipid (triglyceride) levels in the blood, manages fasting glucose levels better and reduces Body Mass Index (BMI).
