Thermogenesis & Fat Oxidation: How Green Tea Extract Works

2026 guide  •  6 min read

Short answer: thermogenesis is the body's process of generating heat by burning calories, and Green Tea Extract's EGCG catechins are studied to boost this process along with fat oxidation by up to 17%, meaning your body burns more calories even at rest.

What thermogenesis actually means practically

BurnTide's proprietary blend activates your body's thermogenic processes, increasing your basal metabolic rate (BMR) — this means your body burns more calories throughout the day, not just during exercise.

What the research shows for Green Tea Extract specifically

Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that green tea catechins increased 24-hour energy expenditure by 4% and fat oxidation by 17%, with a 12-week trial showing participants lost an average of 3.3 lbs more than the placebo group with the same diet and exercise.

🔥 Why "with the same diet and exercise" matters: this study controlled for lifestyle factors, isolating the ingredient's specific contribution — a more rigorous comparison than results without that control.

How Gymnema Sylvestre complements this mechanism

Gymnema Sylvestre stimulates the breakdown of stored fat cells, converting them into usable energy throughout the day, working alongside Green Tea Extract's thermogenic effect.
