Combining a hypocaloric diet with Monoselect Camellia (a green tea extract) yields superior weight loss compared to hypocaloric diet alone.
If you are following a calorie-restricted diet for weight loss, adding 150mg of Monoselect Camellia (a green tea extract) daily may help you lose more weight than dieting alone. This combination was identified as one of the most effective strategies in a large network meta-analysis of obesity treatments.
