Refined dry extract from green tea leaves is a natural supplement rich in antioxidants, especially polyphenols and catechins. These substances help protect cells against oxidative stress, support heart health, and may contribute to maintaining body weight. Green tea extract is also used to stimulate metabolism and increase energy levels.
Green tea extract is usually taken as capsules or tablets, according to the instructions on the packaging or as advised by a doctor. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose, as excessive consumption can lead to adverse effects.
Side effects may include insomnia, irritability, palpitations, or digestive disorders, especially in people sensitive to caffeine. In rare cases, allergic reactions or liver function impairment may occur. Any unusual symptoms should be reported to the doctor.
Green tea extract can be a health ally, but its use should be responsible. Consulting a doctor before use is recommended, especially for people with chronic conditions or those taking other treatments.
