EFFECTIVITY

How fast can I see the result of TGT? How many pounds will I lose with one bottle?
TGT is for individuals who want to lose weight but cannot afford the drastic way other strong weight reduction supplements offer. TGT must be taken continually for at least three months at a dose of 270mg of polyphenols. At least 4.6% of the total body weight can be reduced without dieting. Based on customers’ feedback, they have achieved weight loss much faster because of regular exercise, specifically, eight pounds in a month of taking TGT.

How does TGT work? How will I know if it is working?
TGT works by increasing energy expenditure, the amount of energy spent during a physical activity. The polyphenols in TGT suppresses an enzyme that breaks down a substance responsible for thermogenesis, a natural process in which fat is burned to produce body heat.

Immediate effects that signify TGT is working in the body include: increased frequency of urination, sweating and for some, a feeling of "flushing".

 

DOSAGE/FREQUENCY

When is the best time to take TGT? Before meal or after meal? What if I skip a meal?
In the Dulloo clinical study, which showed the effectiveness of green tea, subjects took it with meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), though the reason for it was not specified. However, it is advisable not to take it with milk as it may hinder the absorption of some active ingredients in green tea.

Can I take TGT before meals?
Yes, you can take it before meals. But most of the supplements are recommended to be taken after meals for better absorption.

Will TGT still work if you take less than the recommended dose?
In studies, a dose of 3 capsules per day for three months will result to a loss of 4.6% of body weight without dieting.

What if I attain my desired weight, can I still continue taking Green tea?
Yes, you can continue taking ThermoGreen Tea to maintain your weight.

 

SAFETY/SIDE EFFECTS

Does TGT have any side effects? Are there any interactions with other supplements or prescription drugs?
ThermoGreen Tea is generally free of side effects. The most common adverse reactions are insomnia and other symptoms caused by its caffeine content.

However, reduced absorption for the following drugs may occur when taken with ThermoGreen Tea:

  • Atropine - to restore or control heart function
  • Cardec DM - antihistamine
  • Codeine - analgesic
  • Ephedrine - anti-asthma, weight loss
  • Lomotil - anti-diarrheal
  • Theophylline - anti-asthma
  • Warfarin - anti-coagulant

Is TGT safe for prolonged intake?
ThermoGreen Tea, with its antioxidant and cholesterol lowering properties can be taken like an everyday supplement with a dose of 2 to 3 capsules per day. This is almost equivalent to 2 to 3 cups of green tea drink (750 ml).

What is the age bracket allowed to take TGT? Is it recommended for teenagers?
The dose of 2 capsules per meal is an adult dose, based on the clinical study where the subjects used were healthy men from a university. As a general rule for supplements, teenagers (between the ages of 12 and seventeen) may take three quarters of the recommended dose or 3 to 4 capsules. There are no known scientific reports on the pediatric use of green tea. Therefore, it is not currently recommended for children.

Is it safe for people suffering from:

  • Liver problem - Green tea may well protect the liver as it acts as an antioxidant.
  • Hypertension - Green tea is proven to be beneficial to persons with cardiovascular problems as it reduces the clotting tendency of the blood, lowers down cholesterol levels and may delay the onset of atherosclerosis.
  • Chronic illneses - If pertaining to diabetes, green tea can actually help in weight reduction as obesity aggravates this chronic condition. With other chronic illnesses, it is always wise to seek the advice of a medical expert.
  • Ulcer - Those with peptic ulcers are advised not to consume any coffee or tea as this may aggravate their symptoms..
  • Kidney problem - In some clinical studies, formation of kidney stones are prevented in men and women consuming tea and coffee regularly. However, care should always be taken in cases of severe kidney problems and a physician's advice is recommended..

Is it safe for pregnant or breast-feeding mothers?
Pregnancy is always a delicate condition. TGT is designed for weight loss and so a pregnant woman has no use of TGT, as no pregnant woman would intentionally lose weight while under this circumstance.

Breast-feeding mothers should also be cautious of their food intake, as this will be absorbed by nursed babies. A physician’s advice is recommended.

Will there be a yoyo effect when I stop taking TGT?
TGT is a supplement designed to "aid" weight loss. To achieve permanent weight loss, a sensible diet and regular exercise should always be in line.

What is your assurance that I will not have palpitations with TGT?
In the Dulloo clinical study, none of the subjects reported any side effects and no significant differences in heart rates across treatments were observed. Increase in heart rate is what would cause a palpitation.

 

DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER GREEN TEA PRODUCTS

How does TGT differ from green tea in bags?
Our TGT is a standardized extract. It is more potent than green tea in tea bags. You need to consume more cups of green tea to get the equivalent of TGT. Taking several cups of green tea might cause some inconvenience especially for those busy people who want to lose weight.

I drink several cups of green tea; do I need to follow the recommended intake of TGT?
If you think you've got the equivalent dose of TGT, you can reduce the dose.

 

INGREDIENTS

What's the use of quercetin in ThermoGreen Tea?
Obesity has been linked to a number of other conditions, including asthma. Quercetin has powerful immunostimulants and has antihistaminic effects that aids in asthma or in some kinds of allergies.

Quercetin also enhances the absorption of green tea.

How much is the caffeine content? Will the caffeine affect my sleep pattern when taken at night?
Two capsules would contain 50mg of caffeine. That is only half of the amount of caffeine in instant coffee and one-third in drip or brewed coffee.
