In the heart of the mountains of China lives the Camellia sinensis, a shrub whose steamed and dried leaves have brought us the celebrated Chinese green tea. Our expert tea-makers select only the finest green tea leaves when crafting the Vita-Aid' Slimming Tea Blend, a warm delight abounding in nutrients and antioxidants. Natural health specialists have long praised Chinese green tea for its wellness benefits, especially as the catechins, caffeine and amino acid, theanine, contained within the tea promote weight loss. To create the perfect slimming blend, gymnema sylvestre has been included, a cherished herb found in the depths of the tropical forests of India and Sri Lanka. Not only does it assist in balancing blood sugar levels and reducing sugar cravings, but the plant also supports a healthy pancreas, which promotes the optimal production of insulin. Native to Indonesia, garcinia cambogia extract is another natural ingredient of our delicious blend. Derived from the peels of the fruit itself, this extract is rich in hydroxycitric acid, an essential acid which assists in blocking the enzyme citrate lyase from converting carbohydrates to fat. The extract is also known to suppress the appetite, by raising serotonin levels, making this a healthy treat which will keep you looking and feeling great.
