GREEN TEA/MATE
Le green tea and the mate are powerful allies in boosting energy, activating the metabolism and encouraging fat burning. Thanks to their high catechins (including EGCG in green tea) and in xanthines (like the caffeine and theobromine in mate), they stimulate energy expenditure, increase lipolysis and help you burn more calories, even at rest.
Le green teaby inhibiting COMT (the enzyme that breaks down catecholamines), prolongs the action of fat-burning hormones (adrenaline, noradrenaline). It also activates AMPK, a key enzyme in lipid metabolism and appetite regulation, combining a slimming effect with a reduction in cravings.
Le mateplays a role in hormonal regulation by increasing leptin (the satiety hormone) and reducing ghrelin (the hunger hormone), which helps to control appetite.
Studies, including a meta-analysis of 22 trials, confirm the effects of green tea on weight loss and waist circumference reduction. Mate also shows promising anti-obesity potential thanks to its action on hunger and metabolism hormones.
