Green tea extract

[FUZO]

TweetGreen tea extract, also known as gunpowder tea, is taken from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis. A plant that was originally native to China, the Camellia Sinensis is now grown in various other parts of the world such as India, Japan, Russia as well as the United States. The leaves are steamed, then rolled and dried to produce tea. Green tea extract benefits are well known in Chinese culture. Green tea has been used in China as both a tea simply for beverage purposes as well as for medicinal benefits for many years.

Green tea has been promoted throughout Chinese culture as a life prolonging herb and is known to contain beneficial antioxidants which are helpful in preventing cancer, heart disease, tooth decay and reducing cholesterol, blood pressure as well as easing stomach complaints and diarrhea. Other Green Tea Extract Benefits include the promotion of calorie burning, easing pain related to arthritis and the healing of infections of the mouth. Due to its calorie burning properties, green tea extract is commonly used as a fat burner. Green tea is very popular with individuals engaged in weight loss programs because it does not contain the jittery side effects of many other commercial fat burners, such as an increased heart rate. Green tea extract is also useful in preventing skin irritations related to exposure to ultraviolet rays.

Green tea extract contains caffeine, which has been known to contribute to problems sleeping when taken before bedtime as well as irritability, dizziness, vomiting, headache, loss of appetite, diarrhea and possible irregular heartbeat.

Green tea extract is available in several forms including tablets, powder, capsules, liquid and as a tea. Capsule forms are known to contain the most antioxidants. Individuals who do not wish to ingest caffeine related to many green tea products, should look for cafeeine-free products or capsules. Consumers interested in green tea extract benefits should look for tea products that are the freshest possible as well as sealed in an airtight container, as green tea does not have a long shelf life. The most beneficial forms of green tea are those that are collected during the first harvest
