"Low Doses Of EGCG From Green Tea Can Increase Fat Oxidation By 33%"

A human study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows findings that a purified extract of green tea may increase energy expenditure and increase fat oxidation by 33%.

The World Health Organization estimates that by 2015, there will be more than 1.5 billion overweight people adding to healthy costs above $117 billion per year.  This is just in the US alone.

Green tea has been studied intensely for a little while now  and the focus has been on the compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).  The three ways they are studying EGCG to help with weight loss is with increased energy metabolism and fat oxidation, inhibit fat cell development, or reduce lipid absorption and increase your fat excretion.

Some scientists have reported that caffeine must also be present for EGCG to be beneficial to weight loss.

Research that was performed in collaboration with researchers from the University of Medicine Berlin confirm that there is a link between caffeine and EGCG.  Though they also found that both compounds produce similar effects by themselves.  

When tested a daily dose of 300mg of EGCG produced a 33% increase in fat oxidation, while a daily dose of 200mg of caffeine produced a 34.5% increase.  

When both compounds were combined the fat oxidation increased by almost 50% according to the scientists.

The results produced with the combination of EGCG and caffeine may be related to the time that each compound remains in the blood stream.  EGCG remains in your blood for about 2 hours after ingestion and caffeine remains in your blood stream for about 4 hours.  

This is beneficial because it helps with both early and late postprandial fat oxidation. 

Other studies have supported this evidence and Dr. Josh Lambert at Penn State states that human intervention studies indicate that consumption of tea might promote weight loss, help maintain body weight following weight loss and prevent the development of some diseases associated with obesity such as diabetes and fatty liver disease.

LeptiSense was created based off of scientific evidence such as this so that you consume the therapeutic levels needed to increase your fat oxidation and successfully lose weight and keep it off.
