This alone undoubtedly has a beneficial effect on the body and mind. But beyond that, the ingredients in tea can also have health-promoting effects. This is especially true for green tea.
Green tea has enjoyed widespread popularity for centuries, particularly in Southeast Asia, due to its purported health benefits. Due to growing knowledge of its positive effects, green tea has also gained popularity in the West over time. However, it has been shown that to obtain an optimal dose of the active ingredients contained in green tea, a much larger amount of green tea would have to be consumed daily than is normally the case. Taking a dietary supplement offers a convenient way to consume green tea in a highly concentrated form. In the Allvital Green Tea Complex, green tea extract forms the basis of the supplement, which has been harmoniously blended with other ingredients to create a formula.
What is green tea extract?
Green tea extract is a concentrated form of the leaves of the green tea plant (Camellia sinensis). The active ingredients are extracted by steeping the tea leaves. The resulting brew is then dried into a powder or processed into capsules, which can be taken as a dietary supplement.
Allvital Green Tea Complex uses a green tea extract produced exclusively by dissolving it in hot water. Therefore, it contains no residues of solvents such as acetone, hexane, or methanol, which are occasionally used in the processing of other green tea extracts.
What active ingredients are contained in green tea extract?
Green tea extract contains a variety of bioactive ingredients, such as polyphenols, vitamins (vitamins C and E), and minerals. As secondary plant substances, polyphenols are found primarily in the skins and outer layers of fruits and vegetables, as well as in tea. Polyphenols are attributed various health-promoting properties, but are particularly known for their natural antioxidant effect. This means that they scavenge harmful free radicals formed in the body, thus reducing oxidative stress.

Green tea complex - a "turbo" for the immune system
The most important polyphenols in green tea are catechins. Of these, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is one of the most potent natural antioxidants. As a key ingredient in the Green Tea Complex, the highly concentrated green tea extract contains 98% polyphenols, with an EGCG content of 50%.
To enhance the antioxidant properties, various amino acids have been added to Allvital's Green Tea Complex: L-carnosine, L-glutamine, and L-glutathione also have antioxidant effects and support immune function. This combination contributes to a powerful and balanced immune response.
Polyphenols and weight loss
Polyphenols, and EGCG in particular, are also believed to have a positive effect on body weight. According to a recent study, polyphenols appear to increase energy expenditure and fat burning. This may also lead to a reduction in abdominal fat, which is considered harmful due to the release of certain hormones and inflammatory mediators. Reducing abdominal fat is an essential goal of weight loss and has many health benefits.
Beta-glucans and L-arginine for healthy blood vessels
In addition to EGCG and amino acids, AllVital's Green Tea Complex also contains beta-glucans, which help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. A healthy cholesterol profile is essential for maintaining a healthy heart and blood vessels. The added L-arginine can lead to dilation of blood vessels and improve circulation. A sufficient supply of L-arginine can therefore have a positive effect on blood pressure and blood vessels.
Green tea as a complex preparation
The careful balance and optimal composition of Allvital Green Tea Complex make this dietary supplement particularly valuable. This principle is at the heart of all our products and is convincingly implemented in Green Tea Complex: just as tea is more than just a hot beverage, Green Tea Complex is more than just green tea extract.
