Green tea pills are an excellent alternative for those who wish to gain the benefits of green tea without actually drinking it.
"I can't believe you don't like the taste though!"
Well I guess I just have to accept the fact that maybe some people do not like the taste or at least just prefer a coke or a coffee.
Green tea supplements come in many different shapes and sizes; there are green tea pills, green tea tablets, green tea capsules, green tea extract and even green tea patches. The pills and capsules contain between 250-500 mg of green tea extract.
The various products on offer tend to contain between 50 and 90% polyphenols. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is one of these polyphenols and is thought to be a more powerful antioxidant than both Vitamin E and C. The supplements are also packed full of valuable bioflavanoids.
Taking these supplements is a very easy way to gain the benefits of green tea. No boiling water, no tea pot's, you can take them anywhere and at anytime. These green tea pills and green tea capsules are easy to swallow and many of them are also vegan or manufactured with allergy free ingredients.

Another advantage of the supplements is they tend to contain less caffeine than the green tea leaves. So for those of you with a sensitivity to caffeine this is a big advantage.
So who can benefit from green tea supplements then? Well they are well suited to the non-tea drinkers amongst you! They are also suitable for busy people who need to be able to take their health supplements whenever and wherever they choose. If you are a big fan of drinking green tea like me then maybe you won't be needing an extra green tea boost, but it's always good to know it's there if you do need it.
There is a wide range of products on the market now and it's always good to have a choice of products at very competitive prices. If you would like to see some very good quality green tea pills, green tea capsules or green tea extract then take a look
