Medicine Description green-tea 1200mg
Green Tea is a medication that primarily derives its benefits from its active components, including catechins and caffeine. These compounds work synergistically to enhance metabolic rate and promote fat oxidation. Catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), inhibit the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase, which can lead to increased levels of norepinephrine—a hormone that promotes fat breakdown. Additionally, caffeine acts as a stimulant that can enhance physical performance and increase energy expenditure. Together, these components contribute to weight management and may support cardiovascular health by improving lipid profiles.
