Product Review

Green Tea Extract is made from the plant Camellia Sinensis. It contains compounds called Catechins (a subset of a group of compounds called Polyphenols) The main Catechin found in Green Tea is Epigallocatechin (EGCG). Numerous health effects have been attributed to EGCG, including weight loss. Buddha's Herbs Green Tea Extract is standardized to contain 98 percent Polyphenols, 85 to 90 % Catechins and 50 % EGCG. Two Veggie Caps per day delivers more than 400 mg of EGCG, recommended dose by "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" for reducing resting heart rate and blood glucose levels. In Buddha's Herbs Green tea Thiamine is included because this vitamin is essential for maintaining healthy brain function and positive mood. It is a water soluble compound and the body does not store it rather it is depleted very quickly from the body. Research shows that Green Tea Extract may interfere with the absorption of Thiamine in the body. We have added this vital B compound in the supplement to ensure its presence in the body in required amount. This product is not meant to cure, treat or diagnose any disease or condition and consumers should also consult their physicians for best practices regarding use of such products. Consumers looking to reduce weight can take 3 Capsules per day to achieve the recommended dosage of EGCG for weight loss.
