Green tea contains four molecules of a chemical compound belonging to polyphenols. Here we are talking about catechin, the strongest derivative of which is EGCG found in tea.

Studies show that consumption of the extract from green tea increases the average level of fat burning in the body by 17%.4. Supplementary instructions
The secret to green tea's effectiveness is its proper preparation. Approximately 1 teaspoon of the product should be used per glass of water. The brewing temperature is related to the type of green tea, but is usually between 80 and 90°C. The storage time of the tea should be between 2 and 4 minutes at most. Some high-quality leaves can be stored two or even three times. Supplementation depends on the purpose.
