Green Tea Extract And Metabolism: What The Research Actually Shows
Green Tea Extract, standardized for its EGCG content, is among the most studied botanicals for thermogenesis and daily caloric expenditure.
Its effects in research are real but modest, and highly dependent on dose and individual metabolism.
What EGCG is
EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is the primary catechin compound in green tea, credited with most of its studied metabolic effects.
What the research examines
Research indexed on PubMed has generally examined outcomes related to thermogenesis, fat oxidation and daily caloric expenditure, with effect sizes that are measurable but generally modest in most studies.
Setting realistic expectations
Possible side effects
Sensitive individuals may experience mild jitters, similar to caffeine sensitivity, since green tea does contain some natural caffeine alongside EGCG.
