Green Tea is an ingredient that increasingly pops up when discussing men’s health concerns. Although it’s been utilized for hundreds of years for medicinal purposes, it seems like new benefits are being revealed all the time. According to numerous scientific studies, the effects of green tea are currently being considered for treatment of a number of health conditions, from several forms of cancer to mental alertness to weight loss to cholesterol maintenance.
To help you understand the importance of this ingredient’s role in both skincare and nutritional capacities, we’ve broken down the many benefits of this ingredient:
Powerful Antioxidant: Green Tea contains high levels of phenolic acids and catechin-antioxidants which play a major role in protecting the body against free radical damage. Free radicals can cause cellular oxidation and damage, which contribute to health problems associated with aging.
Goodbye Jitters: Because Green Tea contains tannin, it produces an energized feeling and increased alertness for extended periods of time. However, unlike caffeine levels in coffee, tannin provides a gentle increase in energy, without the jitteriness or rapid decline in energy associated with this type of caffeinated reaction.
Fat-Burner: Recent studies are being conducted on the increased health benefits of Green Tea for men looking to lose weight. Consuming Green Tea increases the metabolic rate, causing greater fat oxidation and better weight management. In fact, several studies reveal that the potential weight-loss properties of Green Tea go well beyond its ability to simply accelerate metabolism.
Clean & Complete: Green Tea has been utilized throughout the world as a cleansing agent. For more than 5,000 years, Asian cultures have used Green Tea for its healing and cleansing benefits, and Green Tea continues to be a major ingredient in many treatments.
The Full Treatment: Green Tea is also being studied for its potential role in the fight against cancers, heart, joint and liver diseases.

Many of us aren’t happy with the amount of fat we’re carrying. We would all like to get rid of love handles and other problem areas of fat. It creeps up on us, you know. It may be diet, it may be a sedentary job or it may be genetics, but most of us are fatter than we want to be. And you only have to look at the news to see that doctors throughout the USA are worried about rising rates of obesity and the associated risks of heart attack, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Who doesn’t want to lose a bit of weight?
You can find a wide range of weight loss aids and diet pills at Powerhouse Supplements.net for sale on our online store. Many of our most popular sellers just walk out the door not only because they’re available at clearance prices, but also because they contain the amazing weight loss substance ephedra.
Ephedra (also called ephedrine, ma huang and Mormon Tea) is a natural extract from the Ephedra sinica bush that grows native in dry, desert areas of Asia. Used for many centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine for treating respiratory problems including coughs, colds and flu, ephedra is know known as a fat burner/weight loss pill.
Ephedra works in several ways to help those using this dietary supplement to lose weight quickly. First of all, ephedra is a thermogenic. A thermogenic raises the metabolism, allowing the body to process calories and turn them into heat (literally burning fat). This means that the body will have to tap into its fat reserves, including the fat reserves in stubborn hard-to-lose areas like the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. Secondly, ephedra triggers a release of energy in the body, raising the heart rate and body temperature slightly in preparation for action. This dramatically increased energy level means that the desire to energy – or even fidget! – means that you will burn more calories. Thirdly, ephedra helps you lose weight because it promotes mental alertness, allowing you to increase your focus and determination to stick with a program of exercise and/or diet rather than giving up.
These weight loss benefits of ephedra are often enhanced by blending ephedra with caffeine – the secret behind many fat loss formulas.
