The benefits of green tea in an easy-to-take capsule

Anastore green tea capsules are made from extract of carefully selected leaves processed to preserve their natural characteristics, making them a practical option if you wish to obtain the benefits of green tea without having to prepare infusions.

Anastore Green Tea capsules

The classic way to consume green tea is by infusing its leaves; however, taking it in capsule form as a food supplement offers a number of advantages.

Below we detail these and other benefits of Anastore Green Tea capsules, but first discover the properties of green tea.

What is green tea?

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is a perennial plant native to Asia, although today it can be cultivated in many¹ tropical regions.

This plant has been used for thousands of years in the Far East and spread throughout Europe from the 17th century onwards, becoming today the most widely consumed beverage in the world.

Depending on the processing method and the type of leaves used, different varieties of tea can be obtained, such as green, black, red, white or yellow tea, among others, each with distinct properties. In the case of green tea, it is obtained by drying the leaves in the sun or by pan-firing, and subsequently stabilising them with pressurised steam to prevent oxidation².

What are the benefits of green tea?

This plant has numerous properties due to its various components, and each time you consume it you benefit from all of them. Here is a complete list of its properties:

1. Calming effect: Thanks to the theanine it contains, green tea provides a calming effect, promoting natural sleep, concentration and relaxation. It may also help reduce stress.
2. Antioxidant: Green tea is rich in antioxidant compounds³ that help combat free radicals in the body, protecting cells from the damage they cause.
3. Helps maintain heart health⁴: Tea helps regulate blood cholesterol levels, both LDL and HDL, and also contributes to maintaining heart function and cardiovascular health⁵.
4. Increases energy: Tea contains caffeine, which can provide an energy boost and improve concentration without the abrupt peaks sometimes caused by coffee, due to its lower caffeine content.
5. Weight control: Tea helps control weight and stimulates lipid breakdown. This plant supports metabolism and fat oxidation and also helps reduce appetite⁶.
6. Metabolism support: Green tea maintains thermogenesis and promotes resting metabolic rate⁷.
7. Digestive benefits: Tea helps maintain gastrointestinal functions⁷ and a healthy intestinal flora⁹.
8. Skin benefits: The antioxidants in tea may help protect and maintain the skin by helping to defend it against UV-induced oxidative damage and contributing to healthy ageing by keeping cellular DNA intact.
9. Diuretic effect: Green tea is known to facilitate renal elimination of water¹⁰, stimulating the body's elimination function¹¹.

What is green tea used for?

Now that you know its properties, you will understand how consuming green tea can benefit you. Below we detail some of the benefits it may provide depending on your goals, as the versatility of green tea allows it to be consumed in many different situations.

Green tea as a source of antioxidants¹²

Talking about antioxidants means talking about free radicals. These are unstable molecules generated by certain natural processes in the body, as well as by external factors such as pollution, stress or the consumption of tobacco or alcohol, and they can lead to what is known as oxidative stress, which has negative long-term effects.

Antioxidants are compounds that defend us against free radicals, neutralising them and preventing their presence from damaging the body's cells. Green tea contains flavonoids, an important source of antioxidants.

Green tea in weight control

One of the best-known benefits of green tea is its support in weight control, particularly due to its EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) content, a type of polyphenol that helps improve metabolism by stimulating lipid breakdown and contributing to fat oxidation⁶. In the initial process of lipid breakdown, fatty acids are released from tissues, and in a subsequent process, fat oxidation, they are converted into energy.

If you are following a diet, green tea helps with weight loss by supporting lipid metabolism and also inhibiting catechol-O-methyltransferase, an enzyme involved in thermogenesis⁷ (burning) of body fat.

In addition to the above, tea¹³ helps reduce appetite⁵, supporting weight control or weight loss diets.

Effect of green tea on cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health

Green tea can be an important ally in maintaining heart health thanks to several of its properties. One of these is that it helps regulate the blood ratio between HDL and LDL¹⁴, the so-called good and bad cholesterol. Maintaining appropriate cholesterol levels is important to prevent build-up in the arteries, which could lead to potential cardiovascular problems.

Furthermore, tea contributes to improving blood circulation¹⁵ and, when combined with physical activity, helps reduce blood pressure, thereby contributing to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.

Reduce stress with green tea

Green tea contains a compound called theanine¹⁶, an amino acid with relaxing properties that may also promote concentration and attention. Although green tea contains caffeine, its level is much lower than in coffee, and in combination with theanine it provides an appropriate balance between alertness and relaxation at the same time, without the nervousness that coffee may cause.

Why buy Anastore Green Tea capsules?

Green tea dry extract. Higher concentration of substances than an infusion

Anastore Green Tea is made from dry leaf extract standardised in polyphenols, catechins, epigallocatechin gallate (more commonly known as EGCG) and caffeine.

It is important to know what you are buying: in this case, it is green tea made from extract and not from powdered leaves, an important difference that characterises this product and positions it at a superior quality level. It also undergoes all required quality analyses to guarantee its standardisation.

Low caffeine content (8 mg)

Many people do not tolerate excess caffeine well and therefore prefer to avoid products containing it. In the case of these green tea capsules, the caffeine content is low, only 8 mg, which is enough to provide a small energy boost if that is what you need, but this is not its main focus. For that purpose, there are other products with higher caffeine content such as the Green Coffee + Green Tea or Guarana Power.

Fast effect

Green Tea capsules are taken immediately, so their effects are noticed sooner than if you have to go through the whole process of preparing an infusion. The entire content reaches the stomach at the same time from the outset, where, as the capsule dissolves, the body absorbs the components.

Take it whenever you want

One of the main advantages of capsules is that they are very easy to take and can be consumed whenever and wherever you like, without any prior preparation and without the need for any equipment, such as a kettle in the case of infusions.

Avoid the bitter taste or sugar

When you drink a green tea infusion, it is inevitable to notice its bitter taste, which is not to everyone's liking. This bitterness can be masked with sugar, but that would mean consuming an unnecessary extra ingredient, and other natural sweeteners may not suit your taste either. By taking green tea in capsule form, you avoid both the bitter taste and the consumption of sugar or other sweeteners that may interfere with your goals.

Sustainably sourced green tea

If you are a nature lover, our green tea is strictly selected, choosing the highest quality and the most sustainable sources for those who value environmental care.

Capsules suitable for vegans

Anastore Green Tea capsules are produced to be suitable for vegans and vegetarians, as they are of plant origin.

How to take Anastore Green Tea capsules?

With just two capsules a day with half a glass of water during meals, you can obtain 760 mg of polyphenols, 640 mg of catechins and 400 mg of EGCG, with hardly any caffeine, only 8 mg.
