How Can I Speed Up My Metabolism With Green Tea?

Green Tea & Metabolism

Researchers have found that one of Green Tea's active substances, epigallocatechin (EGCG), may indirectly boost your body's production of the hormone noradrenaline, which increases metabolism. Recommended dosage is one or two 500 mg capsules that provide 300 mg to 400 mg of polyphenols with meals every day. Or, eat 3 mg of green tea powder daily by mixing it into your food; or drink 6 to 7 cups in tea form daily. It does contain some caffeine (the same as 1/2 cup of coffee) so it can cause slight anxiety, headaches, or mild stomach upset if too much is ingested.
