Wasted money, spend your money on high quality coffee beans. Money not wasted.7

Curious - what benefits are you hoping to gain from the capsules?0
-
I did. Green tea is a nice beverage. In pill form, it's useless.5
-
Matcha powder is supposedly a much better form for you. People swear by it, and something called golden milk (made out of turmeric) to help facilitate weight loss naturally.however, without another specific supplement our bodies don't digest turmeric very well
I haven't tried either, but I've taken green tea capsules with Hoodia in them and it did nothing. Looking great btw! Hopefully someday (sooner rather than later) I can look something even remotely close to that! What kind of abdominal exercises do you do?! 0 -
If you are looking at them for fat loss they're useless. I used them as a diuretic when I was bodybuilding and they were good, but that was water, not fat!0
-
I don't but I do drink a lot of the Lipton diet green tea. I find it curbs my Appetite. It's also 0calorie and it's really tasty. You just have to make sure you drink enough water with it. My dietician said it will dehydrated you.0

There are no pills, powders, wraps or potions that will cause you to lose physical weight, however your wallet will get lighter. Even on the box it says something to the effect of "in combination with diet and exercise" and "results may vary" all in tiny writing. Just skip this and stick to your calorie goals.4

I took them when my mother in law gave them to me and they did not help suppress appetite or increase energy.0

Don't tell this to big pharma. Weight loss prescription drugs are big business.

I know. I work in the medical field and have patients ask all the time about taking a pill or getting surgery. I have no problem educating them that these are only tools and the ultimate goal is to get them eating healthier and exercising more. The side effects alone are enough to keep me away (i.e seizures and suicidal ideations - uh that's a big no for me)5 -

I feel the same way. Surgery can be important for some, but it isn't for the masses. I know someone who had it, lost a ton of weight and afterward online she started posting remarks that people didn't much appreciate, such as "It's tough being so thin," or "does anyone have size small clothing, I don't fit into my clothes".
Recently she has struggled with recurrent small bowel obstructions, likely resultant from the surgery. I would never ask her, but I often wonder if she regrets having the surgery knowing that she loses more and more bowel with each SBO.

That's awful and something people don't think about. Many people believe they can have the surgery and then live happily ever after. Reality is a lot different3 -
I take them for energy, boosting my immune system and help me sleep better, I know they aren't a weightloss aid0
-
I got a free bottle with my protein powder a couple of months ago, so i foolishly started taking them, they gave me a little bit more energy but no extra weight loss.
Whether this was a coincidence or not... For the first time in my life my periods were late, 6 days late, they are usually incredibly regular, down to the day and hour. Talk about panic stations! I ended up throwing the rest of the bottle away.2 -
The ones I take are caffeine free and contain equivalent of 6 cups of green tea. 69% green tea extract and 97% polyphenols0
-
Without the added caffeine, they are even less useful.5
-
I don't agree, I feel amazing but could be all the other antioxidant boosting supplements too0

Or when commencing supplements, the person also makes other changes in lifestyle and diet which have a positive effect. I don't suppose that many people at all start a supplement and make no other changes, even if the changes are subconscious.6 -

This is also often true. Adding very nutrient dense foods, exercise and just being excited about committing yourself can all have positive influence on this process.3 -

This is how i know they did diddly squat for me. I continued counting my calories and doing my normal exercise routine, I didn't change a thing whilst taking them and my weight loss stayed the same as it has always done, not even an extra 100g lost lol.0 -
My hair and nails are growing like never before plus I am sleeping all night without wakening up, wake up feeling refreshed, never used to before. Oh and my antioxidant levels in my body have jumped up 23,000 in 6 months0

What test does a lab do that tests for antioxidant levels? I have never heard of that.6 -
New technology0

No it's a biophotonic scanner, Google it0
