More About Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract is packed with antioxidants known as green tea catechins which make up the majority of green tea extracts antioxidant content. Antioxidants provide a number of potential effects and health benefits helping to reduce oxidative stress within the human body by fighting cell damage associated with ageing and other ailments caused by molecules known as free radicals. Oxidative stress can have an adverse effect on human health, as it can increase blood fat levels leading to inflammation of the arteries and potentially high blood pressure. Antioxidants have anti-inflammatory effects on the body and can help to reduce blood pressure and decrease any inflammation caused by some liver diseases among other potential benefits. While further research is required, some people believe the antioxidant content of green tea can also help fight some forms of cancer and promote brain health.
Green tea extract also has approximately 4% caffeine content, which is known to affect thinking and alertness. Many studies have also looked into green tea’s ability to help aid weight loss, with catechins and caffeine both having been shown to assist in weight loss by regulating hormones that enhance thermogenesis – the process of the body burning calories to digest food and produce heat. One human study showed that people taking green tea extract when overweight lost 2.4lbs on average.
