Why Use Green Tea Extract?
Although drinking green tea can be a refreshing and healthy habit, its taste is not agreeable to many. Using sugar to offset its bitterness just becomes counterproductive to someone trying to lose weight. Adding milk to make it more palatable not only increases the calories but also hinders the absorption of catechins.
This is where green tea extract comes in. It is a herbal derivative containing all the active ingredients of green tea in concentrated form, available as capsules or liquid extract. Natural green tea also contains caffeine, although to a lesser extent than coffee. Caffeine is also a substance that boosts energy expenditure but many people are sensitive to it. The advantage of using green tea extract is that decaffeinated varieties are available.
