    New research from anthropological research shows that a certain amount of pure extract of green tea can increase energy consumption and resist redundant small protuberances According to research published in the European Journal of clinical nutrition, a small amount of epicatechin (EGCG) from green tea can increase the oxidation of fat by 33% The pilot study is the first to show that epicatechin gallic acid can increase fat oxidation in obese men by consuming pure green tea catechins at least two hours after a meal Epicatechin gallic acid is equivalent to caffeine in fighting fat oxidation at this post meal stage The larger the waistline, the more markets there will be The World Health Organization estimates that there will be more than 1.5 billion obese consumers by 2015 In the United States alone, it is responsible for more than $117 billion in medical expenses every year The opportunity for scientifically proven weight management products is impressive Green tea has been widely studied for its potential in weight management Epicatechin gallic acid is an important component of green tea Three mechanisms have been proposed: epicatechin gallic acid can increase energy consumption and fatty acid oxidation; inhibit the development of fat cells; or reduce the absorption of fat and increase fat excretion Caffeine, like epigallocatechin gallic acid, is reported to help lose weight and stimulate the necessary nervous system The study, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Berlin School of medicine, found a link between caffeine and epigallocatechin gallic acid, but also found similar effects among compounds Taking 300 mg epicatechin gallic acid per day can increase the oxidation of fat by 33%, and taking 200 mg caffeine per day can increase 34.5% When men consumed 300mg of epicatechin gallic acid and 200mg of caffeine, the oxidation of fat increased by nearly 50% The epicatechin gallic acid used in the study was composed of DSM's teavigo with a purity of 94% Study details thielecke and his partners recruited 10 healthy overweight and obese men to conduct a randomized, double-blind control trial They were randomly divided into five groups: control group, low-dose epicatechin gallic acid group (300mg), high-dose epicatechin gallic acid group (600mg), caffeine group (200mg), or epicatechin gallic acid (300mg) combined with coffee Because of (200mg), the participants took these supplements for three consecutive days, and then after seven days of scouring, crossed to another group At the end of the experiment, the participants took all the supplements The results showed that two hours after meal, low dose of EGCG could increase the oxidation of fat by 33% and high dose of EGCG by 20% Caffeine alone increased by 34.5% and caffeine combined with green tea by 49% There was no synergistic effect between low dose EGCG and 200mg caffeine The researchers pointed out that low dose of EGCG can better affect energy consumption, while high dose of EGCG has no effect on energy consumption The results showed that EGCG combined with caffeine was related to the time that the compound remained in the blood The half-life of EGCG was 2 hours, and that of caffeine was 4 hours Therefore, EGCG affects pre meal, while caffeine affects pre and post meal Support from other scientists comes from science and reports from the University of Pennsylvania: laboratory and small-scale human intervention studies have shown that green tea intake can help reduce weight, help maintain weight loss, and prevent some obesity related diseases, such as diabetes and fatty liver disease The potential for weight management is in the United States, with $364 million worth of diet foods, beverages and supplements in 2009, compared with $130 million in the western world.
