Green Tea Time

You might be wondering what exactly green tea extract is and what kind of benefits can you expect to get from it. I was wondering the same thing myself. After all, much has been said and written on the benefits of green tea, but when it comes to the benefits of green tea extract, I hadn?t come across much.

Green tea extract takes the most healing properties from the tea leaves and puts them into a type of chemical form. The extract is then put into things like fat burning pills, dietary supplements, beauty products, and much more. So what really is the big benefit of green tea extract? Actually, there are many.

When green tea extract is put into fat burning pills, the benefits are obvious. It helps with thermogenesis which is the body?s generation of heat which will burn body fat ? thus the name of these supplements ? fat burners. It works without increasing the heart rate that is most commonly associated with fat burners. With green tea, dieters get weight loss without the jitters and other side effects.

Green tea extract contains a large amount of bioflavanoids, and the main benefit of this element helps combat free radicals in your body that can hinder your health. It is also rich in EGCG which can protect the body against digestive and respiratory infections and blocks the actions of carcinogens that cause cancer.

In addition to the weight loss benefits, products that contain green tea extract can decrease hormonal activity and help with acne problems. It helps lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and combat high blood pressure. Green tea extract stimulates the immune system that can fight disease and prevents periodontal disease as well.

Some new research shows another benefit of green tea extract ? prevention of rejection in organ transplant patients. Studies of rats that were made to undergo ?binge? drinking had their damaged livers removed and replaced with new rat livers. Some were then fed green tea extract and the results showed the rats that had green tea extract had less instance of rejection from the new organs.

Regardless of your stance on animal testing, you still have to admit that the outlook is promising when it comes to finding benefits of green tea extract in animals that can be passed along to human beings and heal disease. If we can prove the results in animals bred to do this type of testing, we have a better idea of how green tea extract can benefit the human race itself.

There are still more studies being done regarding the benefits of green tea extract. But there is already enough information that shows there are many, many health benefits to be had when green tea extract is added to your diet as a supplement.
