Green tea dietary supplements come in liquid form, in powder, in tablets and in capsules. The marketing effort put behind green tea caplets is for Mega T Green Tea caplets, which are sold as a supplement for people who are attempting to lose weight. There are also green tea caplets sold by Walgreen’s that are a knock-off and are substantially cheaper, but don’t appear to have all of the herbal ingredients that are included in the Mega T version.
Often people prefer capsules, especially gel capsules, because they are easier to swallow than tablets and because they digest more readily. The caplets represent an all-inclusive dietary product and in the case of Mega T Green Tea Caplets there is an interesting assortment of ingredients.
Over the past ten years or so there have been several diets build around herbal supplements that have become popular. Green tea supplements are a market standard. Recently the acai berry was made famous on one of Oprah Winfrey’s diet product reviews; now the diet product sector is flooded with acai products.
Several years ago hoodia became a diet fad, guaranteed to provide a boost to all diet efforts because of its effect as an appetite suppressant. On the horizon are the goji berry and the maqui berry.
All of these products have characteristics in common: they are harvested in exotic far off lands, they have been a staple to the indigenous residents of those lands for hundreds of years, and they contain contribute unique elements to a diet based on their rare and healthful content. These sorts of products have become known as “super foods” and many of them are processed into powder to be sold in caplets as diet supplements.
The green tea caplets marketed by Mega T contain several of the compounds that have been featured in recent diets. They contain green tea extract, acai berry powder, hoodia in some form and amount, and 50 mg of caffeine – equal to almost two cups. With all of those antioxidants, fat burning elements and appetite suppressants these caplets have to be a good choice as a diet supplement – that is, something to be taken in combination with reduced food intake and exercise.
