Green Tea Extract And Caffeine: A Plain Guide
Green tea is one of MeltCore’s featured ingredients. Drinking tea and swallowing concentrated extract are not the same thing.
What it is
Green tea extract is concentrated from Camellia sinensis leaves and is rich in catechins. It also naturally contains caffeine.
The safety distinction
The NCCIH and the NIH ODS note that drinking green tea is generally safe, while green tea extract pills have been linked to liver damage in some people.
What it may do for weight
The NIH weight-loss fact sheet concludes the evidence for weight loss is limited, with at most small effects.
Counting caffeine
Because MeltCore lists green tea and guarana, the total stimulant load is unknown. See guarana explained.
