Do green tea pills have the same effect as green tea itself?

Question

In other words, are pills just as good as the real thing? (especially pertaining to the antioxidants and speeding up of the metabolism)

Answer 1

im pretty sure they work as good as the actual liquid. I started taking the pill about 2 weeks ago and i have seen results already.

Answer 2

The capsules contain the tea leaves, I imagine that the benefits could be increased as you are ingesting the entire leaf and can get a higher dose than by drinking the tea diluted in water.

Answer 3

it should because, it would have a lot of the same indigents in  it. It might have more health value to it cause it would be more pure than a liquid Green Tea.
