Green Tea Complex 500 mg
GNC Herbal Plus Standardized
Overview
GNC Herbal Plus Standardized Green Tea Complex 500 mg provides green tea extract, standardized to contain EGCG, which supports metabolism. Research suggests green tea extract may reduce cardiovascular risk factors such as total cholesterol and blood pressure, with more pronounced effects in certain subgroups, such as males and individuals with a BMI between 25-29.9 kg/m². However, the 250mg of green tea leaves extract (providing 125mg EGCG) may be a low dose for some individuals to experience significant benefits.
