Green tea tablets offer a convenient way to get the full health benefits of green tea without having to drink three to five cups of tea each day. If you don't like green tea's bitter taste, you may prefer consuming it in tablet form. And since green tea tablets are usually made from decaffeinated tea, you can avoid caffeine while still enjoying green tea's benefits.
Preventing Cancer
Research shows that green tea may help prevent cancers of the esophagus, stomach, bladder, colon, rectum, pancreas, liver, lung and prostate. Green tea contains powerful antioxidants called catechins that inhibit enzyme activities within your body that can lead to cancer. Research has found that green tea's catechins also may target and repair damaged DNA, which can reduce the risk of cancer in your body. The catechins that green tea contains scavenge oxidants (sometimes called free radicals) before those oxidants can injure cells, reduce the amount and size of tumors, and inhibit tumor cells' growth.
Losing Weight
Many research studies have shown that consuming green tea can be an effective way to lose weight. The green tea tablets contain chemicals like theanine and EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) that can help you shed pounds in several ways. They can increase your metabolism, help your body burn fat, block the conversion of energy into fat, reduce the amount of dietary fat your body absorbs, regulate your blood sugar levels and reduce your appetite for food.
The chemicals in green tea tablets help intensify the rate at which your body burns calories, as well as how much fat it oxidizes. This speeds up your body's metabolism, making it easier for you to lose weight. Research shows that green tea helps your body burn fat by stimulating the process by which your body breaks down fat to provide energy. Green tea also blocks the conversion of energy into fat. It reduces the amount of dietary fat that your body absorbs, by inhibiting glucose's movement into fat cells.
Finally, green tea helps prevent fat cells from multiplying and enlarging. After you eat a meal, chemicals in green tea tablets help prevent your blood sugar from rising too high. They do this by slowing down the action of amylase, a digestive enzyme that normally breaks down carbs to cause blood sugar levels to soar after you eat. By regulating your body's blood sugar levels, green tea decreases both your food cravings and your overall hunger pangs.
Preventing Heart Disease and Stroke
You can help protect your heart from disease by using green tea tablets. Research shows that green tea reduces the risk of a heart attack by lowering both blood pressure and cholesterol. In addition, the antioxidants that green tea contains reduce the risk of blood clotting, which lowers the risk of a stroke.
