Green Tea Extract

Green Tea

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong teas and black teas.[1] Green tea originated in China, and since then its production and manufacture has spread to other countries in East and Southeast Asia. Several varieties of green tea exist, which differ substantially based on the variety of C. sinensis used, growing conditions, horticultural methods, producti...

what are the chemical contents of green tea extract? Is there caffein? How much? ## Generally, the main green tea ingredients are caffeine (formerly called theine), tannin (flavonols), theophylline, theobromine, fat, wax, saponins, essential oils, polyphenols particularly catechins, carotene, vitamin C, vitamins A, B1, B12, K and P, flouride, iron, magnesium, calcium, strontium, copper, nickel, and zinc. It also has trace elements such as molybdenum and phosphorus, as well as 300 additional substances (which I haven't been able to locate). It is important to know that the quantitative proportions of these active green tea ingredients vary according to the area of cultivation (altitude, climatic region) and the growth stage of the leaf. As far as caffeine content, the younger leaves ...

According to internal research by Green-Fu and backed by findings from Australian Healthy Food Magazine, Green-Fu's two key ingredients, Moringa and Chlorogenic Acid (from Green Coffee Bean Extract), when combined in special ratios with our other natural Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids possess a stronger but much safer fat burning and antioxidant effect. This is particularly so, in comparison to established antioxidants for example green tea, garcinia cambogia, grape seed or raspberry extracts. One of the main compounds accounting for Green-Fu's many overall health benefits is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid. It neutralizes free radicals and addresses the problem of hydroxyl radicals, both of which may result in cellular degeneration if left unchecked. Chlorogenic acid can al...

So what does this pill do for you if it does not make you lose weight? ## Hi Tri, From what I've read online, AF Plus is basically a nutritional supplement that contains an extract from Acai, as well as Green Tea, and quote on quote "other powerful nutrients". However It doesn't actually state what those nutrients are, so I don't know if that's some sort of gimmick or what..? The manufacturer also claims that, if taken daily, AF Plus may help fight free radicals while promoting & supporting weight loss. Although there's no direct statements saying what else it does. I'd just imagine that you'd probably have to take it daily for a long period of time in order to notice an improvement in your overall health/well-being. I hope this info helps!

Looking for details on Polyphenon E ointment or capsules. ## I am wondering if this could help with prostate cancer relief? ## Polyphenon E is a supplement containing an extract from Green Tea, this it is NOT proven to help cure or treat anything, including Prostate cancer. For appropriate treatment for such a seriousl medical condition, you should follow your doctor's advice. Did you have any other questions? ## One should not rely, exclusively, on one's doctor for advice, on anything. Urologists are in charge of a patient's medical prostate cancer treatment. They are surgeons, not oncologists, and are quick to resort to extreme treatment (i.e. removal of the prostate.) It is estimated that 80% of all prostatectomies are unwarranted - that is, the patient would have been as...

Has anyone tried this weight loss pill? Does it work? ## Nuvoryn is an over the counter supplement that is claimed to help with weight loss. I haven't used it, but i did find a list of the ingredients, which are stated to be: green tea, guarana, damiana, yerba mate, acai, resveratrol, siberian ginseng and pomegranate extract. Thus, it isn't actually proven to help with weight loss. Learn more dietary supplement information here. Is there anything else I can help with?

does benitol really work?????? ## Banital is actually an over the counter supplement that is claimed to help with weight loss, however, as such, that also means it is actually not tested and proven to do anything. From what we have found, it seems the active ingredients are: Phaseolus Vulgaris, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Peppermint Leaf Extract, Cinnamon Bark, Lemon Verbena,Chamolile,Ginger Root,Licorice Root, Tangerine Peel, and Chicory Root. The only real way to safely lose weight is to use a proper diet and exercise regimen. Are there any questions or comments? ## well, i am not really an overweight person, but i retain sometimes water, and i don't eat very much and still stay the same weight that i cant keep it off why!. ## Sabrina, do you watch you sodium intake in what you do eat...

Hello! I heard about AF weight loss pills on the radio. I have hypothyroidism, will I be able to lose weight with this once daily pill? ## Based on my research, AF Plus is a dietary supplement advertised as a One-a-Day Natural Alternative for Enhanced Weight Loss and Energy. Each capsule is said to contain the following ingredients: Acai fruit extract, Green tea leaf extract, ginseng root extract, pomegranate fruit extract and amia fruit extract. To my knowledge, none of these ingredients are contraindicated in patients with hypothyroidism. However, weight loss in and of itself is not just done through supplements alone. One must also eat healthy, exercise regularly, and get plenty of rest each night, so your body can repair and rejuvenate for the following day. Another essential, yet, ...

If you want your life ruined, then go on and take it. Your anxiety will increase 100 fold when you try to come off those things in a couple of years. And you WILL want to come off it. The side effects gets you so bad. And then when you try to get off you WILL go through HELL! Trust me, I have been there, done that. PLEASE, rather take something like green tea extract (L-Theanine) and keep yourself away from the Benzos. Just do a Google search on Benzo withdrawal syndrome and see for yourself.
