How It Works+
This functional instant green tea contains 340mg of galloylated catechins per 7.2g serving, scientifically proven to reduce body fat. Galloylated catechins work by inhibiting pancreatic lipase, the digestive enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary fats. By suppressing lipase activity, these catechins prevent fat breakdown in the digestive tract, reducing fat absorption while promoting increased fat excretion through waste elimination.
Beyond fat absorption inhibition, galloylated catechins activate lipid metabolism in the liver, enhancing the body's energy expenditure and promoting the breakdown of stored fat deposits. Clinical studies demonstrate that consistent intake of 340mg daily over 12 weeks significantly reduces both visceral fat (surrounding internal organs) and subcutaneous fat (under the skin), leading to measurable improvements in BMI, particularly for individuals with BMI values of 25 or higher.
The product utilizes carefully selected Japanese tea leaves rich in catechins, blended with matcha powder for enhanced flavor and quick dissolution in hot or cold water. Regular consumption with meals maximizes the fat-blocking mechanism during digestion, creating cumulative fat reduction effects over continuous use.
Direction For Use+
Dosage: Mix 2.4g (one level tablespoon) of powder with 300ml of hot or cold water per serving
How long does it take to see body fat reduction results with this product?
Clinical studies show measurable visceral and subcutaneous fat reduction after 12 weeks of consistent daily consumption with meals. Individual results may vary based on diet, exercise, and baseline BMI levels. Continuous intake is essential for optimal benefits.
What makes this different from regular green tea in terms of fat reduction?
This functional food contains concentrated 340mg galloylated catechins per serving, scientifically formulated to inhibit fat absorption. Regular green tea lacks standardized catechin levels and government-recognized functional claims. This product is officially registered as Foods with Function Claims.
Can I drink this if I'm sensitive to caffeine or pregnant?
Each serving contains 154.1mg caffeine (similar to one cup of coffee). Pregnant, nursing, or caffeine-sensitive individuals should consult healthcare providers before use. Consider reducing serving frequency or choosing decaffeinated alternatives if advised by your physician.
Does this product have any artificial ingredients or allergens?
No allergens present. Contains only Japanese green tea, matcha, dextrin, and Vitamin C. Free from all 28 specified allergens including gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives added to formulation.
How should I prepare this powder for best taste and effectiveness?
Mix one level tablespoon (2.4g) with 300ml hot or cold water. Stir thoroughly until dissolved. Consume three times daily with meals for maximum fat absorption inhibition. Works equally well hot or iced throughout the day.
Will this help me lose weight even without exercise or diet changes?
Galloylated catechins reduce dietary fat absorption and improve BMI, but optimal results require balanced nutrition and active lifestyle. This product supports weight management as part of comprehensive wellness approach, not as standalone solution for weight loss.
Is this safe for long-term daily consumption beyond 12 weeks?
Yes, this product is designed for continuous daily use. Ito En's catechin products have over 1.9 billion units sold with established safety records. Follow recommended dosage and maintain balanced diet. Consult physician if concerns arise during extended use.
What does the government functional claim registration (H49) mean for quality?
Consumer Affairs Agency registration H49 confirms scientific evidence supporting body fat reduction claims. While not individually reviewed like FOSHU products, registration requires substantial clinical data demonstrating safety and efficacy under regulatory standards.
