EGCG + GREEN COFFEE

Stimulates weight loss: EGCG is used to support weight loss by speeding up the metabolic rate. The main mechanism responsible for this effect is the regulation of the mitochondria activity, which is crucial for supplying cells with energy. It has been shown that EGCG increases mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby supporting the production of ATP – the basic energy carrier. In addition, this compound increases thermogenesis and due to that it accelerates burning of fat tissue. As a result, the body gets more energy from the reserves accumulated in the form of fat and uses them more quickly. A green coffee extract has a similar effect on metabolism. It supports the thermogenic activity of EGCG and, in addition, helps to reduce sugar levels in the blood by inhibiting certain enzymes, including alpha-glucosidase. It mitigates the absorption of glucose in the intestines, while preventing sudden changes in blood sugar level and thus lowers the risk of compulsive overeating. Based on clinical trials, it has been proven that regular use of green coffee contributes to the reduction of body weight with the greatest changes in the amount of fat in the body.

Supports the immune system: Research shows that green coffee is good for the prevention of various types of infections. Its active compounds destroy the cells of certain bacteria and are also effective in the fight against viruses, including the herpes virus (Herpes simplex). The extract from green coffee prevents excessive inflammation as it regulates the activity of proinflammatory cytokines, not allowing the overstimulation of the immune system. EGCG has many similar properties in terms of the support of immunity. It inhibits the development of numerous pathogenic microorganisms and also supports the anti-inflammatory effects of green coffee. Furthermore, this compound neutralizes harmful properties of free oxygen radicals on the bodily cells. Reactive oxygen species, including free radicals in particular, contribute to the formation of DNA mutations, and this, in turn, promotes development of cancer. Therefore, EGCG, due to its antioxidant properties, may have an important role in lowering risk of cancers.

Improves general health condition: Both green tea and green coffee have a positive effect on vitality. They help the cardiovascular system to stay in a good condition and to function efficiently. Green coffee contains chlorogenic acid which regulates the tension of smooth muscles in blood vessels and thus improves blood flow. The results of scientific studies show that blood pressure can be significantly reduced as a result of regular supplementation with green coffee extract. Chlorogenic acid has yet another positive effect on the circulatory system as it helps to maintain the correct lipid economy and may lower blood cholesterol levels. Due to that, it can be a decent help in prevention of atherosclerosis and many other disorders related to impared blood circulation. EGCG has similar effects on the body. It has been shown that this compound inhibits the activity of the digestive lipases – enzymes that break down fats. As a result, green tea extract is a valuable support for those who deal with higher cholesterol levels, in particular its “unwanted” LDL fraction. Together, both components provide even stronger support for the general condition of the body.
