A recent study has shown that EGCG, the most abundant catechin in green tea has powerful anti-obesity effects. The substance actually blocks the formation of fat in the human body by altering the manner in which genes express themselves. Green tea down-regulates the expression of at least four major genes involved in the pathway which generates fat in the human body.
Green tea is one of the major constituents of NeoLife Tea, a new product introduced to go along with the NeoLife Shakes. The tea also contains Rhodiola rosea which has been written up for its ability to fight fatigue. The new product also contains two kinds of ginseng with a reputation for increasing energy.
