Description
EGCG is not only the most abundant, but it is also the most active compound at the pharmacological level. In this sense, in vitro studies have shown that it can act by inhibiting the proliferation and differentiation of adipocytes. As we are going to see, science has shown that this product is helpful when our goal is to lose weight, and therefore, body fat.
What is it for?
Green tea extract has been used for years as an effective product for fat and weight loss.. As we have already seen, this is in turn composed of catechins, among which is EGCG, which has been shown to have a positive effect on oxidation and loss and fat, managing to reduce body weight. In scientific studies it has been proven that fat oxidation is increased both in resting conditions and with physical exercise.
One of the mechanisms proposed for the operation of green tea catechins in increasing fat oxidation would be linked to the inhibitory effect on catechol O-methyltransferase, an enzyme that breaks down catecholamines such as norepinephrine, thus prolonging the release of This through the sympathetic activity of the nervous system.
Despite this, other mechanisms have been proposed. In this sense, changes in the expression of fat metabolism genes that occur when consuming green tea extract, has also been proposed as a mechanism that could explain the effects found after consuming this product.
Despite all this, proper nutrition and proper physical exercise should be the main basis in a stage of weight and fat loss..
This product not only stays here, but it has also been shown to have benefits for human health, for example, having a positive impact at the cardiometabolic level (improved lipid profile, positive effects on insulin sensitivity, etc).
In summary, the consumption of this product will help in your fat loss stage, making it easier to achieve this goal. Furthermore, green tea extract has been proposed and used on numerous occasions as a treatment not only for overweight and obesity but also for metabolic pathologies. In this way, its use will entail various benefits that will be described below.
