WHAT IS GREEN TEA EXTRACT?
Green tea extract, which is extracted from the Camellia sinensis plant’s leaves, has grown in popularity due to its possible health advantages. Green tea extract, which is rich in polyphenols and catechins, is well recognised for its antioxidant capabilities, which may help shield cells from harm brought on by free radicals. Green tea has a long history of use and is the subject of current study because of its capability to improve general wellbeing.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA EXTRACT?
Due to its increased antioxidant content when compared to other forms of tea, green tea is regarded as one of the healthiest drinks on the planet. A concentrated version of green tea is called green tea extract. Green tea contains between 20 to 45 percent polyphenols, of which 60 to 80 percent are catechins, particularly EGCG. Green tea extract contains alkaloids, a number of vitamins, including A, D, E, C, B, B5, H, and K, as well as a number of advantageous minerals, including manganese, zinc, chromium, and selenium. Although green tea extract does contain caffeine, the amounts are rather small in comparison to other types of tea. Here are some benefits of Green Tea Extract:
- Can help in losing weight: Green tea extract has been reported to have possible advantages for losing weight. According to studies, the active ingredients in green tea extract, such as caffeine and catechins, may aid enhance fat oxidation and metabolism. However, it’s crucial to remember that every person will experience weight reduction differently, so green tea extract shouldn’t be looked at as an overnight fix. To reach and keep a healthy weight, one must follow a balanced diet and engage in frequent exercise.
- Rich in antioxidants: Antioxidants help in defending the body’s cells from the harm that unstable chemicals known as free radicals may do to them. Green tea extract contains strong antioxidants including catechins and polyphenols that may improve general health and support a healthy ageing process. Antioxidants may have positive impacts on human health, but additional study is required to properly comprehend these claims.
- Radiate Skin: Due to its antioxidant qualities, the skin may be able to defend itself against oxidative stress and adverse environmental conditions. Additionally, some research indicate that topically applied green tea extract can have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. A dermatologist or other skincare expert should be consulted for specific advice and assistance because everyone’s reactions to skincare products might vary.
Despite the fact that Green Tea extract have a favourable health impact, most research has been done in the lab for a long time and has not been extensively evaluated on a wider range of people. It is best to consult with your healthcare practitioner for personalised advice and instructions.
HOW DOES GREEN TEA EXTRACT WORK IN HUMAN BODY?
Green tea extract acts on the human body due to its unique combination of bioactive chemicals, principally catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and caffeine. These substances interact to give a number of possible health benefits. First of all, the catechins in green tea extract work as powerful antioxidants, neutralising free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Green tea extract may enhance general well-being and assist to a healthy ageing process by lowering oxidative stress.
Second, the effects of green tea extract on metabolism and weight loss have been researched. It has been demonstrated that the catechins and caffeine in green tea extract may promote thermogenesis and fat oxidation, resulting in improved calorie burning and perhaps assisting weight reduction attempts. Additionally, green tea extract may aid in restricting appetite by encouraging fullness and helping to regulate appetite. Individual reactions, however, may differ, and further investigation is required to completely comprehend the processes of action and the specific effects of green tea extract on the human body. A healthcare practitioner can offer specific advice on adopting green tea extract into a healthy lifestyle.
HOW MUCH GREEN TEA EXTRACT CAN A PERSON TAKE?
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a crucial component, is frequently used to standardise green tea extract dosages. It is crucial to remember that depending on the kind of tea, the steeping duration, and the level of oxidation, different cups of tea may have varied amounts of EGCG-equivalent. The average amount of EGCG-equivalent in a cup of green tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant is 50 mg.
Green tea catechins may support lipid oxidation and fat-burning pathways, and this effect is seen to be dose-dependent. Significant effects in humans are often reached at greater dosages. It is recommended to consume 400-500mg of EGCG equivalent per day. It is important to keep in mind that caffeine use on a regular basis may have an impact on the fat-burning benefits, which may be dependent on a synergistic interaction. The right dose and use of green tea extract should be advised on specifically by consulting a healthcare expert .
