Green tea capsules give you the health benefits of green tea without caffeine
Posted on: September 1, 2011
If you've been paying attention to information on TV, radio, magazines and the internet the past few years, then you've already heard about the numerous health benefits of green tea. The only problem with the beverage is the caffeine content inside. Many people do not respond well to caffeine but a solution can be found in green tea extract capsules.
While this drink contains only one-third of the caffeine content inside a regular cup of coffee, it is still a problem if you're sensitive to the effects of caffeine or if you just prefer to go without it. I've always enjoyed a cup at night before going to bed but realized that I had trouble sleeping usually if I drank more than one cup.
That's when I realized there was caffeine inside green tea. I prefer to do without caffeine but I also liked the fact that this drink was so healthy for you. I did some research and found that you can buy a form of this drink that is decaffeinated but what happens is that the nutrients are lost when it is decaffeinated.
This is no longer a problem as you can get all the benefits with green tea extract pills. All the nutrients are packed into a small pill you can take as a supplement. This is the easy way of getting all the nutrition without boiling water or using a tea pot. And you can take them with you on the go.
These extract pills contain the polyphenol EGCG, vitamin E and C, as well as bioflavanoids which work together to act as powerful anti-oxidants. To get a good amount of these nutrients you would have to be drinking multiple cups ever day. Because these pills are concentrated, you can take a few a day instead.
So if you want all the green tea benefits and none of the caffeine, you can use green tea extract pills as a supplement. It's a great way to get the fighting power of green tea, boost your metabolism, your mental clarity and your energy without the crash or jitters you get from caffeine.
