Green Tea and Weight Loss Herbs

Author: Sandra Rouse

Article:
Various clinical studies have been made regarding the benefits
of green tea and its properties. Some believe that green tea
extract combined with other herbs that have weight loss
properties are extremely beneficial.

Weight Loss Herbs

There are a number of natural herbs that contribute to weight
loss. Gugulipid, sap from the mokul myrrh tree in India, has
been shown to augment the metabolic rate of the body and help
with thermogenesis, thus leading to weight loss. Gugulipid has
also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and to lower
cholesterol levels.

It is a fairly nontoxic product. Some side-effects are possibly
a mild skin rash or GI upset/diarrhea. Studies show that it does
not adversely affect liver or kidney function or blood sugar
levels in diabetic patients.

How to Maximize Weight Loss with Green Tea

A standardized weight loss herbal extract of green tea is needed
to maximize weight loss. There are several non-standardized
green tea weight loss products on the market. They are cheaper
but do not contain enough active green tea substances to have
any significant weight loss benefits.

You may achieve better weight loss results if you choose a
product that contains a rich blend of green tea, herbs,
minerals, and nutrients that aid in weight loss.

How to Buy a Green Tea Weight Loss Product

When buying a green tea product, determine if the manufacturer
of the green tea extract follows strict GMP compliance
standards. This is the manufacturing standard used throughout
the world. The GMP approval assures you that you are getting a
product of the highest quality.

Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994,
herbal products such as green tea are considered dietary
supplements. This means that the success or effectiveness of
these products do not have a guarantee. You should not patronize
companies or manufacturers that claim 100% success in their
green tea products. This is false advertising.
