Green Tea Extract (EGCG) لـ Obesity

B الأدلة تدعم ذلك تجربة عشوائية واحدة على الأقل، مع نتائج متسقة في معظمها.

Cochrane review of 14 RCTs found EGCG plus caffeine produces modest but statistically significant weight loss of 1.0-1.3 kg over 12 weeks. Twenty-four-hour energy expenditure increased approximately 5% and fat oxidation approximately 16%, with effects more pronounced in Asian populations and habitual low-caffeine consumers.
