Green tea is one of the most commonly consumed teas in the world. While it is a staple of many cultural traditions, its popularity is also due to the health benefits associated with its consumption and with green tea extract (GTE) supplementation.
Most research focuses on epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the primary catechin responsible for antioxidant activity. EGCG helps protect cells from oxidative damage and may support skin health, including aging and acne, by promoting healthy cellular balance and function.
One of the most popular uses for green tea supplementation is supporting metabolic function and weight management. Catechins and naturally occurring caffeine work together to promote thermogenesis—the process of burning calories to produce heat. Green tea extract may also:
- Increase insulin sensitivity
- Support healthy blood sugar levels
- Reduce fasting blood glucose
- Lower hemoglobin A1C
- Help reduce blood pressure and inflammation
These combined effects support overall metabolic health and may assist with weight management goals. Additionally, antioxidants in green tea extract may help reduce body fat accumulation and support healthy body composition.
Green tea extract may also support exercise performance and recovery. Research suggests catechins can help reduce oxidative stress, delay muscle fatigue, and improve recovery following intense physical activity.
In addition, GTE appears to support cognitive function. EGCG may help protect brain cells and enhance communication between brain regions, potentially supporting mental clarity and long-term brain health.
