Green Tea Extract - How it Can Help You Lose Weight


Many of you have come across weight loss supplements being promoted as "magic" pills or the next "big" thing that works but most of them is just marketing hype in order to get their hands on your money. Don't fall for this trap! Instead, save your money and do a little homework on any supplements that you may encounter on the shelves. That's not to say that all supplements are useless. There are actually quite a few that work and will give you an extra boost to help with your overall weight loss progress.

There are tons of supplements with fat burning compounds to help you with losing weight but with my extensive researching, I can definitely count on a few that work and are worth trying out. After going through rows of weight loss supplements on the shelves, only one caught my attention and that is the green tea extract also known as EGCG.

Green tea extract is one of many fat burning compounds that actually aide with weight loss and has additional health benefits on your body. Also, it is a fat burning compound known for its high levels of anti-oxidants and anti-cancer properties.

Here is an extensive list of health benefits when supplementing with ECGC:

- Prevention or reduced risk of developing cancers

- Reduction of cholesterol levels

- Helps lower blood pressure

- Helps lower blood sugar levels

- Aids in digestion

- Relieves diarrhea

- Improving blood and bone structures

- Prevention of arthritis and osteoporosis

- Prevention of dangerous blood clots

- Aiding and preventing Type-II diabetes

And much more. What really makes green tea extract shine is that it can be used as part of a diet due to its nature of aiding with weight loss. It also appears to have thermogenic properties which promote fat loss and plays a role in controlling one's weight. Backed by plethora of scientific studies and real world results, it's no wonder that EGCG has taken a surge in popularity and you can find it on the ingredient list of most weight loss supplements.

It comes in a pill or liquid form. Make sure to look for the one that contains a minimum of 50-60% EGCG and 90% Polyphenols. It is suggested to take 250-400 mg of green tea extract daily.

There you have it folks. I have done all the boring homework for you. You have to start somewhere in order to lose weight, why not start here?
