Natures Aid Green Tea 1000mg 60 Tablets

Great for boosting the metabolism and losing weight.

Traditional Chinese medical uses for Green Tea include headaches, digestion, low mood, immune function, detoxification and an energy booster.

The Benefits of Natures Aid Green Tea Tablets:

• Atherosclerosis (hardened arteries) - Green Tea increases antioxidant activity in the blood, protecting against damage to LDL cholesterol. Damage to LDL cholesterol, caused by 'oxidation' from fried foods, smoking and stress, causes damage to the artery wall upon which the cholesterol sits. This damage leads to the hardening of the artery wall.
• Immune booster - the polyphenols in Green Tea stimulate the production of several types of immune cells. Green Tea also has antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
• Weight loss - Green Tea's polyphenols may both increase metabolism and decrease the breakdown of fat in the digestive system, so reducing its absorption. Increasing the metabolic rate means the cells generate more energy and the person feels more active.

Antioxidant activity also contributes to a strong immune system.

Green Tea's polyphenols, not caffeine, are regarded as being responsible for increasing the metabolism.

Polyphenols are not associated with the side effects of caffeine, such as 'jitteriness'.

Green Tea may improve cardiovascular health by inhibiting the digestion of fats and making blood less sticky.

Green tea has improved gut bacteria balance in elderly people. Friendly gut bacteria may also prevent the re-absorption of cholesterol by breaking down bile salts.

Contra-indication/Precautions

Being high in tannins, Green Tea may interfere with the absorption of several medications. Taking Green Tea supplements at least two hours after the medication eliminates this problem.
