The healing properties of green tea have become so well known that it was only time until the green tea extract would be sold on the open market. The internet is swarming with ads for green tea extract. Green tea extract comes in two forms; liquid and in capsules. The extract is a super concentrated combination of the polyphenols and catechins that are attributed as the healing components in green tea.
The liquid form of green tea extract is much more highly concentrated in these properties than the capsule form. The capsules contain from 40%-50% polyphenols, while the liquid form contains over 80% polyphenols. But even so, the capsules have been the most popular. The reason for the capsules popularity is they have found that it is difficult to create a good tasting liquid green tea extract.
The capsules can be put into hot water or made into a delicious iced tea. But as the green tea fad is spreading, more companies are claiming that they have developed the better tasting liquid green tea extract. So not only are you getting a great tasting green tea, but you are also getting a very potent one as well.
The Benefits
Green tea extract provides many health benefits. Some of these benefits have been researched and proven, and some are still in the stages of research but are highly recommended. It really only takes common sense to realize how good green tea extract is for the human body.
Some of the health benefits include: prevention for dental decay and gum disease, and helps eliminate bad breath. It is also proven to help with weight loss, helps with the digestive system and reduces bloating, proven to help prevent heart disease, protects the prostate from cancer, one of the strongest anti-oxidants on the market, normalizes healthy bacteria in the intestines and recommended by the Cancer Society as a "High Priority for Cancer Prevention."
The benefits of this extract to your body's vital organs go on and on. The green tea extract capsules can also be taken orally with lots of water. This is probably the ideal way for people to take the extract who do not like the taste of green tea or who want to get a quick dose of green tea extract. The internet is full of companies where you can purchase green tea extract in capsule or liquid form. You can also get the extract over the counter at your local drug store and grocery store.
