For 4000 years now green tea has been a very healthy idea! The Chinese have used it for therapeutic purposes since around 2000 BC.
More recently, scientific research from both the Orient and the West substantiates the health benefits long associated with green tea. For example, in 1994 the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea promoted healthy growth of the cells lining the digestive tract and exhibited protective effects against the development of abnormal cells.
University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea can help promote healthy blood cholesterol levels in those already in normal range, as well as supporting a healthy ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol.
And just look at all these other well-known health benefits. Green tea is known to:
- Reduce oxidative stress by scavenging highly reactive oxygen free radicals
- Help maintain proper fluid balance
- Promote a youthful metabolism for proper weight management
- Boost the effectiveness of liver detoxification pathways
- Even display protective effects on brain tissue
And just one capsule of Life Extension’s Mega Green Tea Extract gives you more antioxidant polyphenols than you’d get from drinking three cups of brewed green tea. But we didn’t stop there!
Our high quality Mega Green Tea Extract has now been enhanced with potent antioxidants found in green coffee beans.
Green coffee beans contain a natural compound known as chlorogenic acid. The primary benefit of this amazing compound is its ability to support healthy blood sugar levels in those already within normal range.
And it does this through several different mechanisms of action.
First it slows down the amount of sugar absorbed into your bloodstream from your digestive tract to help minimize blood sugar surges and support insulin sensitivity.
Second, it inhibits the enzyme that triggers the formation and release of sugar from the liver into the bloodstream … thus helping your body manage and support blood sugar levels already within normal range.
And third, it boosts your metabolic rate and enhances cell energy production by facilitating the up-take of sugar into the cells.
In a human clinical trial 56 people received different dosages of green coffee bean extract, standardized for chlorogenic acid. Thirty-five minutes later the participants each ingested 100 grams of sugar. Then their blood sugar levels were measured.
Researchers found that the higher the administered dose of green coffee bean extract, the greater the drop in blood sugar level. In subjects who took 200 mg of green coffee bean extract, blood sugar surges decreased by 14% … while those who received the 400 mg dose saw a 24% decrease … and all within 30 minutes of drinking the sugar solution.
Life Extension®’s Mega Green Tea formulations … both the lightly caffeinated and decaf… are now available with a healthy dose of CoffeeGenic™ Green Coffee Extract to provide you with all the potent benefits of chlorogenic acid equal to what you’d find in over 6 cups of dark roast coffee. So why not extract as much benefit from your supplements as you can. Try this enhanced Mega Green Tea formulation with CoffeeGenic … and get the best of both.
