Green tea has long been known and proven as one of the healthiest supplements you can add to your diet but there is one thing that can be a drawback to some people. Most people do not know about the green tea caffeine content that is inside.
Some people do not respond very well to caffeine as it is a stimulant. And some people while okay with caffeine are not fond of experiencing a crash, not to mention the jitters. If you're anything like me, you don't like the crash you get from caffeine nor want to be dependent on it for your daily tasks.
There is a solution to get rid of the caffeine but first, let's talk about the health properties inside this drink. You've heard about it enough times in TV, radio, magazines and the internet to know about its health benefits. But what makes this drink so special is that it is rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols are naturally occurring nutrients which are found in many fruits and vegetables.
A subgroup of polyphenols called catechins, have proven to be powerful disease fighters. The catechin called ECGC is the main sour of green tea's disease fighting properties. Studies into ECGC have revealed that that inhibits the growth of cancel cells, lowers LDL cholesterol, protects your immune system, and relieves symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and more.
So the question now is: How do you get all these health benefits of green tea without having to also consume caffeine? There are a few solutions. The first one is to choose decaffeinated. But while there is no caffeine in these teas, the process used to remove the caffeine also removes many of the natural nutrients.
The second option is better. Nutritional companies knew about the caffeine loaded in green tea, they've decided to get rid of caffeine and extract the nutrients into pill supplements. This is the perfect way to get the benefits of this healthy beverage without the caffeine. You can take the pill and still go to sleep easily which is a better option than drinking tea before bed.
They are also adding the extracts to multi-vitamins. This way you won't have to take a multi-vitamin and another green tea tablet on a daily basis. There are also formulations that work synergistically with the drinks nutrients so that they are more effective.
As much as it's healthy for you, green tea caffeine content can be a deterrent for many people from enjoying the health benefits. So if you are not fond of caffeine look for green tea extract pills as an alternative solution.
