OLIMP GREEN TEA is a dietary supplement containing 250 mg of extract from green tea leaves in one capsule, which is standardized to a minimum content of 55% EGCG.
Green tea extract (Green Tea extract) – it is derived from the leaves of Chinese tea (camellia sinensis); has a wide range of pro-health and weight loss properties, reduces the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer, helps to control body weight. It contains many valuable bioactive components, including caffeine (theine), theobromine, theophylline, gallate (EGCG), epicatechin gallate (ECG), quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, theanine.
It has been proved that the consumption of green tea increases fat burning at rest, prevents obesity, lowers a total and LDL cholesterol level, improves insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. In addition, the antioxidants in green tea may prevent rheumatoligical arthritis, and alleviate its symptoms.
Caffeine (theine) is a psychoactive substance, belonging to the group of stimulants, so substances that stimulate the activity of the sympathetic nervous and central nervous system.
It increases metabolism, so the overall transformation of energy in the body. By blocking the adenosine receptors, it prevents sleepiness and reduces fatigue. By increasing a level of neurotransmitters, it restores the sharpness of the mind, improves concentration and attention, helps to formulate thoughts, and improves the coordination of the body. It also enhances lipolysis – the process of distribution of body fat.
Theophylline is used in the treatment of bronchial asthma and a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It extends the respiratory tract, stimulates the central nervous system, increases the acidity of gastric juice, and stimulates peristalsis, the ventilation of the lungs, and inhibits allergic reactions. In addition, it dilates blood vessels, acts diuretic and relaxes the bile ducts.
Theobromine is a substance stimulating the heart rate, and widening blood vessels. It has antitussive properties, and is useful in the treatment of asthma, relaxing smooth muscles. It has a powerful diuretic, spasmolytic and diuretic action.
Theanine has psychoactive properties, because it easily overcomes the blood-brain barrier. It stabilizes mood, calms, relieves stress and anxiety. It is also used as a nootropic preparation – improving cognitive functions, performance and effectiveness of learning. Scientists are of the opinion that theanine is responsible for the relaxing effect of green tea, which affects the intensity of alpha brain waves.
Catechins are valuable substances belonging to the group of polyphenols; They are one of the most powerful antioxidants, they accelerate metabolic rate at rest, slow down the aging process, and energize cells. The green tea contain four main catechins: epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
Epicatechin (EC) supports the health of the cardiovascular system, reduces insulin resistance, lowers cholesterol, fights free radicals, regulates blood pressure, improves elasticity of blood vessel walls, and promotes anabolic processes by inhibiting myostatin, that limits muscle growth.
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a powerful antioxidant 100 times stronger than vitamin C and 25 times stronger than vitamin E and a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase - like work, some chemotherapeutic drugs work similar – thanks to that it demonstrates anti-tumor properties.
To sum up, OLIMP GREEN TEA is a dietary supplement designed for poeple who want to lose weight due to its properties of accelerating metabolism and fat distribution. It is prophylactically recommended to anyone considering its valuable pro-health and anti-cancer properties.

Peculiar smell and taste also deters herbivores. Caffeine in the body inhibits the adenosine receptors in the brain, fighting fatigue and allowing for action activation. It has a beneficial effect on the metabolism of oxygen, which increases the exercise capacity (strength and endurance) and rapid post-workout recovery. In the sports supplementation, caffeine is used as a stimulant nervous system. It has the thermogenic potential and in combination with other substances (e.g. Polyphenols, both occurring in coffee beans, such as cocoa beans, tea leaves and mate) can effectively participate in the reduction of body fat.
