Almost everyone has heard about the wonders of Green Tea.  Green Tea has created hype in the media:  be it in the lifestyle magazines or in various talk shows.  The health benefits of Green Tea have even pushed for several studies to generate facts on the effectiveness of Green Tea in promoting overall health.

As a popular ingredient, Green Tea is also being used in many supplements in the market.  It is used as an additive weight loss supplements and the likes because Green Tea was seen to boost the energy levels as well as to cleanse the body’s system from harmful toxins. 

Can Green Tea really provide us with its so-called benefits?  And can it really aid in weight loss?  Apparently, ProSource thinks so.  That’s why it came up with Ultra GTX, a weight loss product that exclusively made use of Green Tea as a single ingredient. 

Green Tea is a well-known antioxidant.  Aside from this, certain properties in this ingredient is said to induce the burning of fat as well as the increase in energy levels.  But then again, Green Tea also has its negative effects. 

As we all know, Green Tea Extract is a source of Caffeine, and those susceptible to the stimulating effects of Caffeine may not wish to take Green Tea formulas; especially if Green Tea is used solely as the ingredient in such a formulation.  There are certain side effects that are closely associated to Green Tea, particularly because it is a stimulant.  These side effects are:  nervousness, jitters, insomnia, palpitations, and heart ailments.

As a weight loss supplement, Green Tea may help a bit.  However, we cannot say that the effect that Green Tea has as a weight loss ingredient can be considered significant.  We believe in the health benefits of Green Tea as an antioxidant, but its weight loss components cannot suffice on its own.  In order to become a potent formula for weight loss, a diet supplement should also include an appetite suppressant an active fat burner in its formulation.

An appetite suppressant that we would like to see is the renowned Hoodia Gordonii, a South African herb which is traditionally used to curb the appetite.  This herb, when paired off with another herbal ingredient called Bitter Orange Extract, is said to work in its prime.

Manufacturers may be a little skeptical on using certain ingredients, even if these ingredients are all-natural.  Fortunately, both Hoodia Gordonii and Bitter Orange Extract do not have side effects.  Both ingredients are also safe and effective to use.
