I know the topic of Green Tea Extract is pretty worn out on here as I looked through the forums.

But I couldn't find much on the effects with exercise. Many poeple say they didn't see any results with it aiding in weight loss, but it seemed to me these people had non active lifestyles. I work out six times a week, eat completely clean, and am just looking for a little boost.

Dose anyone have success with weight loss when taking extract along with exercise?

    Don't use it, but looked it up. http://nccam.nih.gov/health/greentea

    Basically, there's not much safety issue with it, though it's recommended not to take it on an empty stomach to limit the risk of liver damage. It's essentially caffeine so that's where you may get that little boost so I'd say also take a little extra water to avoid the diuretic effect of the caffeine.

    There's not significant/reliable evidence that it aids weight loss.

    I take green tea extract pills I bought at Walgreens> I usually take them after I have worked out & have eaten my breakfast and the only difference I feel is a couple hours later I feel a little warmer body temperature and I feel a very light sweat all over. I think they do work to help a little with weight loss because my body feels warmer, but the main the key to weight loss should be a diet & exercise.
