An experimental study found that Pharmanex® Tegreen 97® may help blood sugar control and body fat burning properties. The findings, which were presented at the American Heart Association's Sixth Annual Conference in Washington D.C., also reiterated the cell protection benefits of green tea catechins in promoting cardiovascular and brain health.*
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Tegreen 97® in enhancing insulin sensitivity and improving glucose-lipid metabolism. In addition, the research examined the effects of the proprietary green tea supplement in lowering body weight and weight of abdominal fat and inhibiting angiogenesis, which is the formation and differentiation of blood vessels, a key pathological process in the development of abnormal cells. Angiogenesis is hypothesized to play an important role in being overweight.*
