We investigated the potential of peach blossom flower extract (PPF) in aiding weight loss using obese mice as a model. Mice were split into groups and fed varying diets, including high-fat diets with PPF.
After eight weeks, those receiving PPF showed notable reductions in body weight and fat mass, along with improved levels of glucose and liver enzymes compared to those on a high-fat diet alone.
The extract appeared to alter gene expression related to fat metabolism, suggesting PPF may help combat obesity by enhancing how the body handles lipids.

We examined the effects of high-dose green tea extract on weight loss among women with central obesity in a careful double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Over 12 weeks, participants taking 856.8 mg of green tea extract experienced noticeable weight loss, reduced waist sizes, and improved cholesterol levels without any adverse effects.
This suggests that green tea extract may work by regulating appetite-related hormones, potentially making it a helpful ally in weight management.

We investigated how decaffeinated green tea (GT) and black tea (BT) polyphenols affect weight management in mice on a high-fat diet. Mice receiving these polyphenols showed significant weight loss and changes in gut bacteria after four weeks.
This suggests that the beneficial effects of these teas may be linked to shifts in microbiota and increased activation of specific metabolic pathways. Notably, both teas promoted factors that could support fat metabolism, indicating their potential role in weight control.

We tested a new green tea extract, MonCam, to see if it could help with weight loss alongside a low-calorie diet. In our study of 100 obese participants, half took the extract while the other half followed just the diet.
After 90 days, those using MonCam lost an impressive 14 kg compared to 5 kg in the diet-only group, with noticeable improvements in their body mass index.
Additionally, both groups saw better cholesterol and hormone levels. With no side effects reported, it seems MonCam could be a reliable addition for weight loss journeys.

We explored how dietary supplements including green tea, capsaicin, and ginger extracts affect weight loss among overweight women. In an 8-week randomized double-blind study, 50 women received either the supplements or a placebo.
The results showed that those taking the supplements lost an average of 1.8 kg compared to a slight increase in the placebo group. They also experienced improvements in body mass index and insulin metabolism markers. Overall, the combination of these extracts appears to offer some beneficial effects for weight loss and metabolic health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Weight loss alternative
I’ve been trying to avoid green tea due to teeth staining, so I chose this to maintain some benefits for weight loss. It didn’t have any unpleasant taste. While I've lost some weight, I’m also dieting and walking.
7.5
Helpful ingredient
Good for weight loss; EGCG is a beneficial ingredient that helps utilise fat as fuel. However, you should first lower your calories to a point where you can lose weight. Pair this with a low-calorie diet and exercise, and you will notice you're losing fat.

Supports weight management
Now Foods Thermo Green Tea Extract is a fantastic addition to my supplement routine for weight management. I’ve noticed a significant energy boost, and it supports my healthy diet and exercise routine effectively. While not a miracle for weight loss, it helps improve my overall wellness.

Boosts fat oxidation
Green tea taken about 90 minutes before workouts is great for weight loss as it significantly increases fat oxidation rates during exercise. It also enhances brain function, focusing, and endurance during workouts.

Daily norm
Unfortunately, it's not always feasible to drink green tea daily. Instead, I took a capsule of natural green tea along with a helpful vitamin, which provided me with the daily norm for my overall health. It's also good for weight loss, and there were no side effects. I highly recommend it as high-quality.

We conducted a pilot study to assess the impact of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on fat burning in overweight men.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled setup, six participants received 300 mg of EGCG daily for two days. Although we found no significant change in resting energy expenditure, the results indicated a decrease in respiratory quotient during the first post-meal phase, suggesting a potential for increased fat oxidation.
While these findings hint at EGCG's role in promoting weight loss, more extensive research is necessary to confirm its effectiveness and determine the best dosage.

Limited weight loss effectiveness observed
We explored how a green tea extract-based supplement could impact weight loss over 12 weeks in a controlled environment. This well-structured, placebo-controlled trial involved 105 participants, focusing on changes to body weight and composition.
While we saw significant reductions in body fat and some improvements in the Body Composition Improvement Index among those using the extracts, overall weight and BMI changes were not statistically significant. This indicates that while there are some benefits, the evidence does not strongly support the idea that green tea extract significantly aids weight loss on its own.
