Green tea is chief ingredient in new diet aid
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
DynaPure Nutrition is marketing a new diet aid that uses green tea extract. The company says green tea helps with weight loss because it controls the body's production of leptin, a protein important for regulating fat storage. It also helps increase the activity of "brown" fat tissue, which draws up upon the "white fats" found at the waist, hips and thighs.
If you're thinking of reducing your appetite to lose weight and get ready for summer, think about Green Tea.
Green tea has been clinically shown to increase the rate of how we burn calories and now being studied for another weight loss benefit, reducing appetite.
One new product containing green tea is called WARP 9, manufactured by DynaPure Nutrition (www.dynapurenutrition.com), which has also been the focus of weight loss headlines recently.
Green tea extract is one of the nine main ingredients in the patent pending WARP 9 formula which contains derivatives that have been shown to reduce appetite by decreasing a hormone called leptin and increasing a chemical neurotransmitter called noradrenaline.
Leptin is a protein produced by fats that appear to play an important role in how the body manages fat storage through brain signals.
DynaPure Nutrition's formulator of WARP 9 Pete Maletto explained, "Years ago it was thought by scientists that lower leptin levels would increase appetite.
Current research has now found that it does just the opposite and decreases appetite.
There is clear evidence that green tea's polyphenols (EGCG) are a factor in depressing leptin as well as affecting other hormone levels important in regulating appetite.
Noradrenaline is a chemical neurotransmitter in the nervous system that plays a major role in activation of brown fat tissue (BAT), which is the only metabolically active fat in the human body.
Activation of brown fat by increased noradrenaline levels is significant because it burns calories from the white fat located around our waistline, hips and thighs.
We can expect green tea to make an impact, but it's important to include other natural ingredients that also increase noradrenaline so that WARP 9 can provide even greater weight loss benefits for the consumer", Maletto said.
