What is Green Tea Extract?
Green tea extract is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis. It is rich in catechins and some forms contain caffeine.
Why does it show up in weight management supplements?
Its association with metabolism and energy makes it a staple of weight management and active-lifestyle formulas.
What does the research say?
General background is available from the NCCIH page on green tea. Research on this ingredient in finished supplements is limited, and nothing here suggests it causes weight loss on its own or treats obesity, diabetes or any other condition.
