	Truth About Green Tea Weight Loss Pills

The innumerable health benefits of green tea have been well known for a long time and today there are pills in the market claiming to provide you with more energy and assist you in shedding weight, reducing the levels of bad cholesterol and help combat heart and cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.

Actually, most weight loss and diet pills use an extract of green tea as a main ingredient. It is quite likely that any one of these, will contain the extract as one of the ingredients. But are these pills really effective or just a big hype?

One of the ingredients present in green tea weight loss pills is a compound called Epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG. It is a proven anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-viral substance which more than 200 times powerful in combating free radicals and pro-oxidants.

Studies have also proved that presence of EGCG in weight loss pills can have a positive impact on body fat accumulation and cholesterol levels. The results show that green tea weight loss pills can boost your metabolism and burn calories while reducing bad cholesterol levels. It also affects your body fat levels. A previous study has proved the tea has thermogenic properties and helps fat oxidation at a rate that is much higher than one due to its caffeine content.

A major benefit of green tea pills for weight loss is that they promote thermogenesis that is the burning of calories without leading to jitters and other horrible side effects. Supplements containing Ephedra, on the other hand are equally effective, but can have fatal side effects. Ephedra has been responsible for strokes, heart attacks and even death in some cases.

Although green tea weight loss pills contain caffeine, they don’t have the same effect. Theanine, chief amino acid in the pills reduces the effects of caffeine, and hence the caffeine in green tea doesn't lead to jitters and a higher rate the way caffeine in other beverages can.

Although some claim that the green tea weight loss pills have minimal effect on lowering body fat, as per the study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition taking the pills doubled the fat loss in subjects and inferred that they are an effective way for losing fat, especially in the mid-section. Latest studies indicate the overwhelming evidence of the role of green tea weight loss pills in reducing body fat.

The pills are available in standardized tablets or capsules. For excellent results, buy a pill containing 300-500 milligrams of green tea extract that also has caffeine. Take it 2-3 times daily before meals.

Although the green tea weight loss pill is not a miracle cure, it is better to take it for its various health benefits. But if you sincerely want to lose weight, don’t depend on a single supplement like green tea weight loss pills. Instead concentrate on improving your diet and exercising regularly, so as to increase your metabolism and burn the fat.
