Green Tea Tablets
Green tea tablets are a convenient method of getting the benefits of green tea without the excessive caffeine. An average cup of green tea will contain about 40mg of caffeine. The aim is to take in between 240 and 320mg per day of the beneficial polyphenols which you obtain from green tea. You would need about 4 cups of tea for this, which would give you around 160mg of caffeine. The equivalent of green tea supplements would typically contain about 5 to 6mg. That's a big difference and if you're wanting to keep your intake low for whatever reason, you would be better off taking the supplements. Green tea may help prevent cancer, it protects against heart disease, inhibits tooth decay, promotes longevity and is reputed to aid in weight loss. You can take it in capsules, liquid, powder, tablets or as a tea. The polyphenols present in green tea are strong antioxidants that can protect against cell damage. If you use supplements, then you need to look for those containing 50% polyphenols. You would need two 250mg green tea supplements a day to provide 250mg of polyphenols. You can use powder, capsules, liquid or tablets.
