Green Tea Tablets

Green tea tablets are catching on as a fantastic way to get its health benefits without having to drink it, much like some people take garlic supplements instead of eating it.

Why would you want to take green tea in supplement form as opposed to drinking it? Well, there are a few reasons.

First, some people don't like the taste of green tea -- it can be quite bitter and is an acquired taste to be sure.

Secondly, green tea itself contains caffeine -- and some people don't react well to caffeine; they get the jitters, heart palpitations, headaches, dizzy, can't sleep, etc. Green tea extract tablets can be purchased decaffeinated and avoid this issue altogether.

Thirdly, even if you love the taste of green tea, green tea tablets can give you an amount that you wouldn't even be able to get if you drank green tea throughout the course of the entire day -- which of course, is not practical for anyone, since you'd be living on the potty. In short, green tea tablets allow you to get a high concentration of this powerful health substance.

Lastly, research has shown that people who take green tea tablets and supplements have higher antioxidant levels in their body for longer periods of time than people who just drank green tea itself.

There was a study concerning this published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Green tea contains antioxidants known as polyphenols, which are argued to be central to many of its health benefits. It was found that even though green tea harbored more polyphenols than the green tea supplements used in the study, more polyphenols were actually absorbed by the body with the supplements.

You can buy just green tea extract tablets separately, or you can get a formula that is very complete, contains green tea extract, but is also loaded with dozens of other important nutrients.

An example of such a product -- and one that we buy for our own daily use -- is Total Balance. Take a look at the ingredient list....you'll definitely be impressed. As you'll see, it has a lot more than just green tea in it.
