Green Tea Phytosome

An optimally absorbed form of green tea that supports fat burning and provides liver protection*

Green Tea Phytosome (green tea polyphenols bound to phospholipids) functions as a liver protective antioxidant and provides fat burning benefits without caffeine.*

Green tea is popular for its antioxidant properties and its thermogenic (fat burning) effect.* Thorne’s Green Tea Phytosome contains powerful antioxidant polyphenols. and it exhibits further antioxidant effect by helping to maintain the body’s level of glutathione. another important antioxidant.* Green tea extracts can increase natural energy expenditure and fat oxidation. thus essentially burning calories.* The polyphenols in green tea also offer liver-protective benefits and help maintain the body’s normal inflammatory response to oxidative stressors.* Thorne’s Green Tea Phytosome is optimally absorbed; for example. one study showed the peak blood concentration of the important polyphenol constituent EGCG from the Green Tea Phytosome complex. measured over six hours. was almost twice that of a non-complexed green tea extract.*

Greenselect Phytosome. the ingredient utilized in Thorne’s Green Tea Phytosome. was tested in obese subjects (n=100) of both genders on a low-caloric diet; 50 subjects were assigned to the green tea extract plus the low-calorie diet. while the other 50 subjects followed just the low-calorie diet. After 90 days. significantly greater improvements in weight and body mass index were observed in the Greenselect Phytosome group compared to the diet-only group.*

Human studies of green tea’s weight management properties revealed greater calorie burning by individuals who took the extract compared to individuals who did not.* Although some of the effects of green tea extract are attributed to its caffeine content. one study found increased metabolic rate and greater fat metabolism in subjects taking a green tea extract compared to subjects who took a placebo. even though the green tea extract did not contain caffeine.*
