Most commonly asked questions about the tea burn supplement.
As we've mentioned, the ingredients in tea burn aren't bad, they do make their way into a lot of the better weight loss supplements out there, the catch is they tend to be in far more concentrated doses than what is possible in a dissolvable product.
Green Tea Extract - There's a few different studies that show green tea extract is pretty useful as a weight loss aid, but, its potency has been over egged. It does help you break down fat a little bit faster [1], and it does help you lose weight in that it helps you sleep better when in a calorie deficit, reduces cravings etc, but all of these impacts are relatively minor, despite what tea burn claim. Once again this is a useful, but B tier weight loss ingredient. But, of course it's in tea burn, being the backbone of the product.
Coffee Extract - Green coffee beans are once again a very common ingredient in fat burning supplements. There's nothing wrong with it, generally it's actually quite a good ingredient, raises metabolism slightly and seems to look pretty good in clinical trials, but the dosage is higher than what would be available in tea burn. [2]
L Carnitine - Tea burn contains a couple of amino acids, L Carnitine and L Theanine. Again these are pretty common in weight loss supplements, and they're not bad ingredients. The latter is more useful, but L Carnitine isn't terrible. Just that overall the research is mixed. With studies pretty much split down the middle, so perhaps not a great addition to the tea burn formula.
Caffeine - Caffeine should really be in every weight loss supplement, except those that market themselves as being caffeine free. But the reality is that along with glucomannan it's by far the most effective weight loss aid. We'd have probably given a kinder Tea Burn review if it had more. [3] Caffeine raises metabolic rate, suppresses appetite, and makes you move more, ultimately it's a triple threat for weight loss. But, most people don't want to say, just take a caffeine pill, which is probably as good as about 80% of the weight loss pills on the market now, and certainly better than those that rely on green tea and green coffee bean extract as their main ingredients.
Chromium - Chromium helps your body regulate blood sugar levels, and fat break down. Meaning that in theory you'll snack less and crave less. It's a relatively decent ingredient and we don't have any major complaints. However, it's quite common to get enough of this in your diet without needing to rely on the small amount that tea burn contains. [4]
L Theanine - The last of the tea burn ingredients L Theanine does get into almost every good weight loss supplement, again in higher doses. However, it is pretty good if you're looking to lose weight effectively. But, perhaps not in the way that most people may think. It largely helps by reducing cortisol, improving sleep and focus meaning like caffeine you move around more. It's got quite a few benefits, but does it do anything directly for weight loss? Well not particularly, it's really good for supplementing a diet and reducing the negative impacts even in lower dosages like in tea burn, but for stand alone effects, you need much more.
