Green tea why not have a cuppa or caps

Hello I have heard of green tea but does it actually work?
 
Anybody seen any results using it?

ye, tastes like ****

Apart from that wat is it doing for you lol.

The claims for green tea include reducing the risk of cancer, preventing or alleviating rheumatoid arthritis and eliminating heartburn. 
But green tea is perhaps best known for its high levels of anti-oxidents, and green tea is used to increase metabolism without increasing your heart rate, helping aid weight loss.

you love your supplements

there is no magic stack which will boost your gains. you wont find a magical herb extract which will give you roid like gains. the supplement industry is all marketing/hype. obviously it can be benificial to supplement with certain things but there is only so much they can do

you need good training, good diet, dedication and patience


in answer to your question. its more convenient to have a certain amount of extract, rather than drinking multiple cups of tea to get the same "benefit"

What brand do you use and how do you make it? 

The metabolic effects of it are very very small but present. Antioxidants are there, but are also in normal black tea.

Agree with this ^

It's just healthy for you imo - you actually start to like the taste after a week or so. I used to drink it all day when I was dieting. I know Lex (our advisor) is a massive fan of it, and has loads of mugs throughout the day.

Out of tea / coffee / other hot drinks...it must be the "best for you" imo.

Hello my training going well Im just allways looking to add something extra even if its a small thing that helps. Thats why I pop up on here alot asking stuff lol.
 
Just bought Tribulus Terrestris Testosterone Boost. So will give it ago and see if it helps with my work outs. I give things a try even if alittle diffrence with a good diet and workout's.
 
The supplements Im using at the moment are all great and happy with. I might end up with afew 100 LOL

i have been trying to get a cup a day in now for about 6months, i dont know if its giving me any noticeable changes as im doing a lot of other stuff too which i know will effect my body. I dont like the taste of it tho, so i tend to pour it a good hour before i drink it then neck it cold.

i just add boiling water to the cup along with the bag and let it steep till it goes cold

Ignore him Pete mate.  I think it is good that you are always asking about new supps.  Learning about what they could do to help is a very clever thing to do.

It tastes bitter because youre burning the leaves.

Water needs to be off boiling point. So boil a kettle, pour it into a cup, top it off with some cold water and let your tea bag bre for 1 minute then try it

Try it with a splenda tab or two as well

fair play, im not trying to say what your doing is wrong or start a debate (like a time before)

the supps you have listed in your sig are useful in any bodybuilding diet. i use them (although only sunday,monday and thursday evening for the flapjacks )

bet you cant wait for the mprotein customizer to get back online

I drink at least 6 cups of green tea a day.  I enjoy the taste, its refreshing!  The fact that it might be doing me some good is just a bonus!

lol seems a link to ripped guys and green tea in this thread, by looking at avi's

i also drink 3 cups per day as per james's request

I also drink about 3/4 cups a day, i love the stuff.

ye i heard about that "just below boiling point" thing before. I thought becasue i dont use fresh green tea (i use ones that come prepacked in the sachets) it wouldnt matter

I love green tea as well, I drink it everyday but I don't agree that it tastes bad, have you guys not tried Twining's orange and lotus flower one? its really nice

I tried it once, and could not stand the taste, never tried it again,, i like my coffee too much, wee muscle,,,,look like you have been soaking your arms in it, or have you been trying to bleach them

try the flavoured ones perhaps, i drink green tea with lemon and love the stuff. much prefer it to the standard stuff
