Zhou Nutrition Green Tea Extract Supplement - 120 Vegan Friendly Capsules | Green Tea & ECGC for Women & Men, Clean Caffeine Energy, Antioxidant Support, 500mg Per Serving

First off, it should be stated that this is by no means a super pill and it's unrealistic to expect weight to magically fall off. Yet at the same time I still seem to be looking for those types of products anyway. Honestly, regardless I will say that there are a few qualities that I have enjoyed and the results from this product have been positive. I actually bought this on a lightning sale from Amazon a few months ago and I have been buying ever since. At first the bottle is relatively small compared to some that I have tried in the past but the quantity and quality of the pills as a dieting product is amazing. The pills are powdered green tea extract so they shouldn't be taken alone as it can be chocking hazard and it should also be noted that taking more than the instructions recommend can lead to headaches and other symptoms, however, when paired with a healthy fruit snack and shake. It's perfect. For the first day I didn't notice any immediate results but with any diet, consistency is key. After the first few days I began to feel more energetic which seemed to be long lasting and kept me up through out the day with no negative side effects. Most times I would get nervous jitters or unusual shakes but this pill was nothing like that. My cravings for heavy foods subsided and after a while I made a habit to drink more water which also made me feel fuller longer and that seemed to boost my weight loss even more.Keep in mind that I haven't intentionally changed any of my usual habits, before I started using this pill I would kick start my day with an apple or orange and an occasional shake in the morning but after I started using the green tea extract product my eating has changed slightly. I still did all my normal daily activities of going to the office and eating out but for some reason I just did not feel the need to eat more and drinking water became my new normal. I didn't have any cravings for heavy junk food and I have been steadily losing weight and moving towards a healthier direction.Around 1pm I would take my second dose and this would last me for the rest of the day which I enjoyed. I have two different scales in my house so I would double check it's accuracy, both show the same results. I have been steadily losing 2-3 pounds every week and I don't know how this works but I feel like this is a good combination of safe ingredients suitable for my body. I have researched all the ingredients listed on the bottle and have found no warning or potentially unsafe chemicals. Overall I am pretty happy with my purchase, no regrets ever as I am not starving, crashing, or craving anything like I have in the past with other products. Honestly given the low price I would recommend this to anyone looking for safer alternatives to boost metabolism and make healthier choices. My body is naturally making the decision to eat healthier foods because I don't feel the need to gorge myself with junk food anymore. Honestly, I would say this is a major success and I've been using this product for over 2 months and plan on buying more. I have lost 22 pounds and counting gradually over the course of my usage. Again consistency and moderation is key for this process. I hope this will help you as much as it did for me but keep in mind everyone has a different body type which may have different needs so it may not have the same effects. However, given the affordable price I would recommend experimenting and finding what combination works best for you. Remember to have faith and never give up.Happy shopping! I hope my review has helped you make a decision and I especially wish you good luck on your path to healthy living.

I started taking Zhou Nutrition's Green Tea Extract Capsules for weight loss to go along with my diet program. I had done a lot of research and had read that green tea extract would jump start my metabolism so I started taking it in the morning to do just that but soon found out there were many more benefits. At first, I was worried about the side effects of being jittery [since I do not drink any caffeine] and the bad taste after taking the pills. Those worries are no longer a concern...the capsules give a little increase in energy which is welcome in the morning and no bad taste after taking them. The other thing that is great about the Green Tea Extract capsules is that I am not hungry all morning. No hunger pangs, no "I'm gonna die if I don't eat" feelings, etc. I just feel fine all morning til lunchtime. It's wonderful not to have those feelings all morning. Lastly, weight loss is not the only reason to take Green Tea Extract, it is also an antioxidant, it boosts your immune system, lowers cholesterol, and does many more great things for your body. I will continue to take it after I finish my weight loss journey!!The other thing I really liked about the Zhou Nutrition Green Tea Extract Capsules was that they are 98% green tea extract. Finding a supplement that has that high an amount of extract is uncommon. When I was looking for a Green Tea Extract it was difficult to find one that had a high percentage of Green Tea Extract until I came across Zhou Nutrition. Zhou Nutrition also has a 100% money back guarantee if your not happy with the product. You can't beat that. In my opinion, if your looking for a Green Tea Extract you absolutely cannot go wrong with Zhou Nutrition's Green Tea Extract!!

I believe this is a quality product. I have tried taking this more than once, but sometimes I experience unfortunate side effects, nausea and headache, but only when taken without food. Maybe it is just the potency? Not sure, so take caution. Zhou does state to take with food though... I've been taking it for a few weeks and I haven't really noticed any effects either.I'm also not a fan of the additives, specifically, magnesium stearate, but no stars were taken off for that because the company is up front about it. I just wish it wasn't in there, but I understand. In case you're more interested in this ingredient:"Stearates found in supplements are hydrogenated fats such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid and calcium stearate. They are made by hydrogenating cottonseed or palm oil and are used throughout the supplements industry as lubricants; they are added to the raw materials so that machinery will run at maximum speeds.Stearates coat every particle of the nutrients, so the particles will flow rapidly. This ensures that production schedules will meet profit targets. These substances decrease the absorption of nutrients; in a published study, the percent dissolution for capsules after 20 minutes in solution went from 90% without stearates to 25% with stearates. Individuals with impaired digestion may have particular difficulty absorbing nutrients coated with stearates....cottonseed oil has the highest content of pesticide residues of all commercial oils. In the hydrogenation process, the oil is subjected to high heat and pressure in the presence of a metal catalyst for several hours. According to Erasmus the resultant stearates contain altered molecules derived from fatty acids. The metal catalyst may also contaminate the stearates produced."

I have been needing help in getting my energy back to normal due to hormonal changes caused by perimenopause. I am in perfect health with no preexisting conditions but I am always tired, easily winded, suffer from brain fog and am easily overwhelmed mentally and physically. I read about Green Tea extract online and purchased this one from Zhou Nutrition based on good reviews. I have to say that on the first couple of days of taking the capsules, once during lunch and another during dinner, I had a hard time sleeping at night. Don't get me wrong. The effect was instantaneous for me. I certainly felt more alert and was full of energy all day, but I was tossing & turning in bed until way after midnight. On the third day I decided to take it for breakfast and lunch and that made a big difference. I was able to sleep at my usual time (10pm) without problems.I thought I wouldn't feel the positive changes until after a few days or a week even, but this Green Tea extract worked almost immediately. The energy boost is subtle; it's not like being buzzed on energy drinks that give me palpitations or make me restless. I just feel more alert and active that I automatically felt motivated to do my exercises without having to drag myself off my seat. I was able to do my house chores without feeling tired or overwhelmed. Most importantly, my head is clear all day long and I find that I am able to focus on work and get things done on time. I am also amazed at how Green Tea extract has curbed my appetite. I've noticed that I'm no longer comfort eating or craving sweets or salty snacks even if I'm not hungry, which was always a problem especially whenever I'm stressed out. I am very happy with this product and I will be sure to order again.

Never ever will I not buy this! My energy is way up more than ever before! Besides people have said my skin has been glowing more and my hair is more shiny! I e had a massive backlog of cleaning to do in our house mostly because we are so busy working and constantly on the go! The green tea has really helped get me back on track getting things done effortlessly. I’m literally zooming and in the most amazing way. No jittery feeling whatsoever just pure energy.

One thing I would like to start out by saying is I have been using this product for about 1yr. However I have not gained weight while being on it or lost any. But I haven't seen any significant energy on it since I needed to have infusion s done and needing b12 injections within that year. Now after coming off the pill however I have fluctuated about 8lbs. I am 40yrs old and I always had a issue with my weight. I had gastric bypass is 2001 tumbling in at 355 down to 178. Got pregnant in 2004 reached 225. I got back to 147. Which was my lowest. My daughter was 4. She is 14 now. I was in academy, i worked FDNY injured and now disabled after a traumatic injury and getting crps from nerve damage and lupus after I found out I was pregnant when i remarried. My son is almost 3 now and my weight fluctuates. Being in FDNY you always had to make sure you maintained your weight, kinda a good thing for me because I always drive myself crazy making sure I watched my weight you know. Not sure if this helps you guys. But I never ate junk everyday like that, or fast food. I don't drink soda or juices. I drink water with lemon. I occasional have drinks with my husband when we go out or with my friends. I'm not a health nut, and I wasn't exercising so I hope this helps someone with these pills. I figured after hearing about the keto diet and using b12 drops or 1234 drops that was much better for me. I believe I gave this product enough time and support.

Since using these supplements I have had great results. I drink one to one half cup of coffee when I wake up around 4:30 a.m. I take one green tea capsule with my regular vitamins and my oatmeal At 7a.m. (First benefit is that I DO NOT crave anymore coffee the ENTIRE day where I was previously drinking 3 cups a day). I noticed right away that my stress level is greatly reduced taking this pill. I feel more alert, and ready to handle work emergencies that would be very stressful before (I work in the financial sector, hence the three cups of Joe a day). Around 10a.m. I start sipping on a grapefruit and lemon infused water and I eat a snack. At this point the supplement has completely kicked in and I'll walk a few laps around my building. (Third benefit, I FEEL FULL, pretty much all the time) this pill also helps bloating problems. I still take a probiotic and it seems to work better now that I'm taking the green tea. Around noon I assess how I'm feeling. Most days I don't even take a second green tea pill. I'm feeling great the entire day. If the kids kept me up the night before I might pop one at this point but normally I don't have to. (Fourth benefit, NO CRASH). I don't know how much of these benefits are tied into my diet with combination of fitness, supplements and routine. That's why I've included my daily morning routine. I was not loosing weight before adding the green tea and infused water. Now I'm loosing about a pound a week and other than those two additions I haven't done anything else. The first bottle I bought on my own after reading the reviews. My second bottle I will get free as a promotion for writing a review. I hope sharing this is helpful. Thanks!!!!

I will start out by saying I did take this product along with Garcinia Cambogia. I just wanted to jump start losing a few pounds. I eat healthy, don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. I do take levothyroxine for an underactive thyroid. After 9 days of taking the Green Tea Extract and the Garcinia together, I woke up in the middle of the night in a full blown panic attack with my heart pounding out of my chest. I have never ever experienced anything like this before and it scared the s*** out of me. After a couple doctors appointments and extensive lab work, my TSH was 9.5 and I was having the opposite reaction of hypothyroidism - hyperthyroidism. I immediately threw the green tea extract and the garcinia cambogia away. These two supplements must have interacted badly with the thyroid medication. At the time of this review, it has been 5 weeks and 2 days since that night, and I am still having mild anxiety and heart palpitations. I can only pray to God that this will work itself out. I wouldn't wish this type of reaction on my worst enemy. It was definitely a life changing experience and I don't want to go through it again - EVER.
