Research has concluded that green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond thate explained by its caffeine content per se. It is also shown that green tea extract may play a role in the control of body composition via activation of thermogenesis, fat oxidation, or both.

There have also been studies that indicate much broader benefits, including antioxidative benefits, stress relief and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction.

With such an array of potentially powerful health benefits it is clear to see why green tea consumption in China is so very high. However it can be impractical to consume the necessary 7-8 cups of green tea each day to get the desired benefit.

Reflex Nutrition import a very potent Green Tea extract from China that is encapsulated here in the UK, to make super strength capsules. Just one capsule provides the same amount of polyphenols and ECGC's as 3-4cups of fresh Green Tea.
