Everyone can benefit from supplementing with green tea.

Maintaining gut health is imperative not only for athletes who require opimum protein utilization, synthesis, and nitrogen balance, but for all person looking to maintain optimal health. Maintaining gut health will result in improved digestion.* Green tea also helps (through CNS stimulation) in the weight-loss process.* For years green tea has been added to dietary weight-loss formulations. Its high caffine content helps to increase body temperature, thereby increasing thermogenesis and fatty-acid liberation from adiposites.* It also acts as a dieuretic, removing from the body excess water that can lead to a bloated look.
