Green Tea Extract

Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract contains caffeine and EGCG, compounds that slightly increase calorie burning and fat oxidation.

Does it really work?

A little. The effect is modest — it may burn a few extra calories per day, but it’s not enough to drive significant weight loss on its own. Works best paired with exercise and diet changes.

Can I get this in real food?

Yes. Drinking green tea provides both caffeine and EGCG, though in smaller amounts than concentrated extracts.

Do I need a supplement for weight loss?

No. At best it offers a minor boost, but it’s not a core strategy for fat loss.
