Summary of BenefitsGreen tea extract is a great source of antioxidants with health benefits. The catechins, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most researched and provides the most health benefits:
- Increases metabolism and weight loss,
- Reduces blood sugar,
- Assists in exercise recovery,
- Fights heart disease,
- Improves memory and brain health; and
- Fights against other health problems such as liver disease, cancer, and skin conditions.
-
Increased Metabolism and Weight Loss: Catechins and caffeine in green tea extract are responsible for its weight loss properties. These regulate the hormones that can enhance thermogenesis which is how body burns calories to digest food and produce heat. Green tea has been shown to make your body more effective at burning calories, which can lead to weight loss.
-
Reduces Blood Sugar Levels: The catechins in green tea, especially EGCG, regulate the production of blood sugar and lower blood sugar levels, and improve blood sugar tolerance and insulin sensitivity.
-
Improved Exercise Performance and Recovery: antioxidants like green tea catechins reduce cellular damage and delay muscle fatigue. Studies show green tea extract combined with strength training enhance the body’s antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. It benefits exercise performance. Studies have found it to have increased running distance by 10.9%.
-
Improves Heart Heath and Reduces Risk of Heart Disease: arterial inflammation and high blood pressure are reduced by green tea extract. The antioxidants in green tea extract can also inhibit fat absorption in cells reducing blood fat levels, lowering triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.
-
Memory, Brain Function, and Brain Health: EGCG protects brain cells from oxidative stress, helps reduce brain damage that could lead to mental decline and brain diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and dementia, and decreases the action of heavy metals like iron and copper, which damage brain cells. It helps memory by enhancing the connection between different parts of the brain. Studies show those who take it experience increased brain function and improved task performance.
-
Fights Many Other Diseases and Health Problems: the high antioxidant content of green tea leaf extract (ECGC) reduces oxidative stress reducing health problems by fighting cell damage caused by free radicals.
- Liver Function: Green tea extract reduces inflammation caused by some liver diseases like fatty liver disease. It significantly reduces liver enzyme levels and improves liver health.
- May Reduce Cancer Risk: EGCG seems to have favorable effects on the balance of cell production and death. Some studies find that the likelihood of developing cancer was 3% for those who took green tea supplements, compared to 30% for those who did not.
- Skin Health: green tea extract improves skin health and treats skin problems such as dermatitis, rosacea, warts, skin aging, acne, and the red skin bumps caused by acne. Prevents skin conditions like loss of skin elasticity, inflammation, premature aging and cancer caused by exposure to UV rays.

Apple Cider Vinegar
Recommended Daily DosageThe common daily dosage of apple cider vinegar ranges from 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 mL) or 1–2 tablespoon (15–30 mL) per day. 500 mg of apple cider vinegar powder equates to 2 liquid teaspoons. A daily dosage of this supplement contains 600 mg of apple cider vinegar powder. This extra strength dosage is very powerful and much more than similar products on the market contain.
Summary of BenefitsAcetic acid gives apple cider vinegar its strong sour smell and flavor and is chiefly responsible for apple cider vinegar’s health benefits. It also contains a substance called mother, that is strands of proteins, enzymes, and friendly bacteria that is believed to be responsible for many of its health benefits, as well as potassium, amino acids, and antioxidants. Apple cider vinegar has antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. Some of its health benefits, include:
- Aiding Weight Loss,
- Lowering Blood Sugar Levels,
- Improving Heart Health and Reducing Cholesterol,
- Boosting Skin Health, and
- Helping Kill Harmful Bacteria.
-
Aids Weight Loss: Daily apple cider vinegar consumption has been proven to reduce belly fat and increase weight loss. It increases feelings of fullness (satiety), which helps you to eat fewer calories. Studies have shown people who take it are likely to eat 200–275 fewer calories throughout the rest of the day. Over a few months, taking 1 tablespoon daily (12 mL) was shown to lead to a loss of 2.6 pounds and taking 2 tablespoons daily (30 mL) led to a loss of 3.7 pounds.
-
Helps Lower Blood Sugar Levels and Manage Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar levels caused by insulin resistance or the inability to produce insulin. High blood sugar levels are also believed to be a major cause of aging and various chronic diseases.
Apple cider vinegar can assist with these problems by keeping blood sugar levels in the normal range. It may improve insulin sensitivity by 19–34% during a high carb meal and significantly lower blood sugar and insulin response. It has been shown to reduce blood sugar by 31.4% after eating 50 grams of white bread.
Consuming 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bedtime has been shown to have reduced fasting blood sugar by 4% the following morning. It can also improve insulin function and lower blood sugar levels after meals.
-
Improves Heart Health and Fights Heart Disease: Apple cider vinegar can lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as several other heart disease risk factors. Some studies have shown that vinegar reduces blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease and kidney problems.
-
Boosts Skin Health: Apple cider vinegar is a common remedy for skin conditions like dry skin and eczema. It could help rebalance the natural pH of the skin, improving the protective skin barrier. It may help prevent skin infections linked to eczema and other skin conditions.

Garcinia Cambogia
A few years ago, no one ever heard of Garcinia Cambogia. Now, Garcinia Cambogia is a new leader in the diet world.
In a recent study published in the Current Therapeutic Research® journal, scientists used Garcinia Cambogia with 60% HCA to study its effects on the body. The study documents the positive effects Garcinia Cambogia has on the human body*. You can see the full clinical study by Clicking here*.
It's important to note that it was in fact Garcinia Cambogia with 60% HCA that was used in the study, not a cheaper imported extract. Garcinia Cambogia Premium contains even more HCA than the clinical study. It contains 95% Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), which is the key compound in garcinia cambogia, while other products contain between 30-60%.
