Green Tea Concentrate

Green tea concentrate has risen in popularity due to its many health benefits. Supplement manufacturers have not been ignorant of this trend and have sought to capitalize on it by selling green tea pills, caffeine free green tea extract pills (this is what we here at Nutritional-Supplement-Bible.com take) as well as green tea concentrate in steeped tea form. Personally, we prefer taking it in pill form as the concentration level is much higher of its constituent active ingredients, although we do drink it as an herbal tea with honey.

It can be inconvenient, though, to drink it all day long, which is undoubtedly why caffeine free green tea extract pills seem to be preferred. If you found this page via a search engine, we'd like to give you some of the core information you'll need as to what are the health benefits of green tea concentrate, what precautions you should consider, and what you should look for before buying green tea pills supplements.

Benefits of Green Tea Pills

So, what are the benefits of green tea concentrate? Plenty. Green tea has antiflammatory and antioxidant properties that allow it to combat osteoarthritis. It also has shown in studies to alleviate different types of cancer, including prostate cancer. A study done at the University of Geneva and Case Western University in Cleveland validated this premise. It also helps to lower the bad cholesterol (LDL) and has shown preventative benefits with coronary disease as well. I t's probably best known though for its antioxidant properties. Aging is largely attributable to the effects of free radicals. Antioxidants in green tea concentrate, and by extension green tea pills, eradicate these free radicals. This is done by powerful antioxidant chemicals called polyphenols. Our opinion here at Nutritional Supplement Bible is that you should supplement green tea concentrate or green tea pills to your diet if for nothing else for the anti-aging benefits alone.

Cautions & Warnings

Be advised that green tea has caffeine. The health benefits of green tea are tremendous but for those who want to avoid caffeine, and it's understandable as to why, make sure you obtain caffeine free green tea extract pills. Caffeine is actually classified as a stimulant with a number of side effects, plus it's highly addictive. Pregnant and/or nursing women should always limit their intake of any substances with caffeine.

Consult with your doctor if you're unsure. Some supplement makers are aware of the growing health issues with caffeine and deliberately make caffeine free green tea extract pills. Of course, some will want green tea with caffeine and that's certainly your choice. Individuals taking MAOI inhibitors, an anti-depressant, should not take green tea concentrate extracts either.

Choosing Quality Green Tea Extract

1. The supplements should be produced at pharmaceutical standard GMP registered facilities . Facilities that are GMP registered comply with the most rigid standards so as to minimize the possibility of product contaminants. (These are the same standards pharmaceutical companies in the United States are required to operate under as mandated by the FDA.) Nutritional supplements are not regulated by the FDA and as such fraud is rampant with many so-called supplements containing contaminants with 1 in 5 not having the ingredients as proclaimed on the label!
2. Ensure the supplement manufacturer has a Certificate of Analysis (COA) on file for review by you the customer thus confirming the potency of the herbal ingredients listed on the label.
3. Ideally, make sure the supplement does not contain any fillers or additives such as sucrose (sugar), starch, gluten, silica (sand) or any other artificial colors, dyes, or flavors. Ideally, it should also be without caffeine.
4. Make sure the green tea concentrate extract is made from standardized extracts. Standardized extracts capture the core, active ingredients that are responsible for its therapeutic capabilities. Many companies don't use standardized extracts as it's less expensive to do so. Standardized extracts also allow you to get the consistency of the potency inherent to the herb.

A Quality Product

A company from New Zealand has a multivitamin supplement with green tea product that meets all the above criteria. This supplement not only has green tea concentrate but it has over 70 vitamins, minerals, a full array of antioxidants, enzymes, and trace nutrients. Ideally, you should obtain as comprehensive a supplement as possible. Having a supplement that has multiple synergistic nutrients saves you money but it also allows the ingredients to work together.

The health benefits of green tea are all found in this scientifically formulated nutraceutical. Incidentally, I mentioned New Zealand deliberately for the regulatory requirements for supplements there exceeds even the U.S. FDA for pharmaceutical medications.
