Functions:
1. Assists Weight Loss. The ECGC contained in green tea extract limits the negative effects of a fatty diet and smoking. Consumption of green tea
extract enhances the process of thermogenesis and increases the rate of metabolism of fat, without increasing the heart rate. Hence, consuming
green tea extract can help you lose weight without jitteriness or feelings of anxiety. When you drink the beverage, it makes you feel full and
discourages you from eating. The extract also helps your body burn more
calories. All these factors make green tea an essential supplement in your weight loss program.
2. Prevents Tooth Decay. Green tea extract has the ability to destroy
plaque-causing bacteria and helps prevent tooth decay.
3. Lowers Cholesterol and Blood Pressure. Green tea extract helps to
lower the LDL (bad) cholesterol that's responsible for clotting of blood. The extract helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. It promotes the production of HDL (good) cholesterol that removes the plaque in the arteries and
keeps them elastic. This lowers your risks of suffering from heart disease. Persons suffering from hypertension also benefit by consuming green tea extract, because it lowers blood pressure.
4. Fights Cancer. Green tea extract is rich in antioxidants, such as ECGC,
that kill cancer cells and prevent their growth without harming healthy
tissue. Consumption of this extract is especially beneficial to patients
suffering from breast, lung, skin, liver, bladder, pancreatic, stomach or
prostate cancer.
5. Prevents Inflammation. Arthritic patients find that consuming green tea
extract decreases the pain in their joints, because it prevents inflammation which in turn decreases wear and tear of the joints. The extract also slows
the breakdown of cartilage and provides relief to patients suffering from
arthritis.
6. Controls Blood Sugar Levels. The polyphenols present in green tea
extract reduce the amount of amylase that's produced by the body. Amylase is the enzyme that converts starch into sugar. Consuming green tea helps to decrease blood sugar levels and thus helps keep diabetes under control.
7. Prevents Liver Disease. Green tea protects the liver from toxins and thus helps prevent liver disease.
8. Slows the Aging Process. The antioxidants present in green tea extract
are responsible for slowing down the aging process of the body. This
helps you look younger.
9. Fights Infection. Green tea extract is antibacterial and antiviral, and helps the body fight respiratory and digestive infections such as influenza and
diarrhea.
Green tea extract also helps increase the rate of metabolism of carbohydrates, reduces stress, cures headaches, improves digestion, boosts the
immune system and increases your life expectancy.
