Green Tea Extract, Explained

What It Is

Green tea extract is a concentrate made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis. It contains plant compounds called catechins and usually some caffeine.

Why It Is Used

It is common in metabolism and energy formulas. In PayArmin it is intended to support steady daily energy and healthy metabolism as part of diet and exercise.

What the Research Says

Research is mixed, and drinking tea is not the same as taking a concentrated extract. We cannot say how much is in this product.

Cautions

Green tea contains caffeine, and green tea and ginseng can be stimulating. They may affect heart rate, blood pressure and sleep, which is why the sales page itself advises caution for anyone under 18 and for people with heart or blood-pressure conditions. Very concentrated green tea extracts have also been linked to liver problems in some reports, so people with liver conditions should ask a doctor first.

Our Take

If you already drink coffee or tea, count the caffeine from this product too, and avoid taking it late in the day.
