Super Antioxidant

Green tea has been used for thousands of years in Asia, both as a drink and herbal medicine. Researchers who have studied green tea has been shown that it is a superb source of potent polyphenols, the most important being "catechins", particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is a strong antioxidant include used in food production and current research on antioxidants. Phenol group in green tea are extremely active, easily captures and neutralizes free radicals and other pro-oxidants. Researchers have found that EGCG is more than 200 times stronger than vitamin E to neutralize pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack fat. EGCG is also 20 times more potent than vitamin E in reducing the number of dangerous and possibly mutagenic peroxides that exists in the fat and blubber. Has also a positive effect on cholesterol.

Epigallocatechin gallate



There is a study from Japan showing that people from green tea production areas have not as likely to get cancer because they drink a lot of green tea. If the average number of persons who died of stomach cancer in Japan, to 100, the figure is in areas where production of green tea 34 for men and 54 for women, it is clear that "catechins" as contained in green tea, have a wonderful impact on preventing cancer, since it believes that "catechin" manages to control the gene mutation. Actually, announced Mr. Hara (Mitsui Research Institute for food and agriculture) that "catechin" can reduce tumors in rats. The mechanisms are not known fully, but we believe that catechin helps to make cell membranes strong. It discusses the moment that Vitamin ACE has an effect against cancer. Japanese green tea contains high amounts of Vitamin ACE.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract - A Natural Weight Loss Supplement


Garcinia cambogia extract is hitting headlines throughout the western world as a natural weight loss supplement. Several studies have shown that it does help people to lose weight and although as always there are other studies that are less conclusive, it can be an effective weight loss supplement for many people.
Garcinia cambogia fruit
Garcinia cambogia is the name of a small tropical fruit that grows in India and Africa. It is one of the citrus family like oranges and lemons. It is too sour to eat but the rind is used as a spice in Indian cooking. The correct name for the substance that is extracted from the fruit as a weight loss supplement is hydroxycitric acid.
Hydroxycitric acid is not a stimulant (like caffeine) or an appetite suppressant, both of which work directly on the nerve centers of the brain and can have undesired side effects, including causing food binges any time you stop taking them.  Instead, HCA satisfies the body's need for energy and improves the signaling system that the body uses to tell the brain when it has eaten enough. This response is often delayed in overweight people, causing them to continue to eat more than they need.
The SlimBetti Garcinia cambogia extract (HCA) seems to work best in combination with chromium, which helps to regulate the body's blood sugar levels. Chromium is a mineral that is often lacking in our diets as we get older and a chromium deficit can contribute to weight gain and possibly diabetes. However if you have diabetes already, you should see your doctor before taking any products containing chromium.
As with most supplements, it is best to be cautious and do not take HCA if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Consult a doctor before giving it to children. You may also want to avoid HCA if you suffer from migraine or arthritis which can be worsened by citrus fruits.
People that overeat when stressed or anxious, will benefit the most from the HCA, as the HCA provides that same relaxing affect as when you eat food. While taking HCA, you don't necessarily have to eat any specific type of food and you are not restricted to what you can eat, however, choosing healthy foods and following a balanced diet will assist you further with losing fat and weight without doing any physical activity. Choosing fruit rather than sugary snacks as well as eating smaller portions (but more frequently) will also help, and you won't ever have to go hungry. These methods listed are the most natural and healthy ways to lose fat.

Hydroxycitric acid

Unlike many other weight loss products, HCA has been extensively tested in research laboratories on both human and animal subjects and no side effects have been found. This natural weight loss supplement is available from many sources online and may be labeled either hydroxycitric acid or SlimBetti garcinia cambogia extract.
