FAQ

Green tea contains substantial amounts of antioxidant catechins (30-42%). The catechins; epicatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) are the primary components of green tea leaves. The EGCG catechin is the most abundant and has received the bulk of the attention as the most active ingredient. Rich in flavonoids, tea catechins, such as EGCG, have been shown to inhibit an enzyme that degrades norepinephrine. Norepinephrine, stimulated by the presence of catechins, has been proposed as a compound that increases thermogenesis and fat metabolism, or both. Green tea has also been shown to provide a protective effect against oxidative stress and damage caused by exercise. The scientists at Oklahoma University that conducted the latest study on Celsius, which showed consuming Celsius before exercise enhances the benefits of physical activity, attribute the significant gain in muscle mass to the protective benefits of green tea in combination with the other ingredients uniquely found in Celsius.*
