Green Tea
Green TeaCommon names:EGCG, Epigallocatechin Gallate- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

All teas (green, black, and oolong) are derived from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The difference is in how the plucked leaves are prepared. Green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, so the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. The leaves of the tea plant are used both as a social and a medicinal beverage.

Best Uses
Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Green Tea Complex:
I have been using GNC's Green Tea Extract for years with no side effects, but when I went to buy it 2 days ago the clerk who was new couldn't find it and said she believed it had been replaced with this, but couldn't tell me how the 2 products were different. The first day I took it in the afternoon, and was awake most of the night. Then this morning I decided to take it with breakfast, thinking it would wear off by nighttime. I usually have 2 cups of coffee in the morning, but could only manage a half a cup since I felt so jittery after taking this product. I was sure I would be able to sleep tonight after hardly sleeping last night but I experienced the same thing. I always have no problem sleeping at least 7 hours, so this product seems the only explanation. Plus my always normal blood pressure has jumped to borderline high. I'm all for something that would boost my metabolism, but not with these side effects. I see on the GNC Website that they have new Green Tea Extract products - one that is lightly caffeinated and one that is decaffeinated so I think I will give these a try.
