By now you have probably heard a great deal about the health benefits of drinking green tea. It has been shown in numerous studies to help fight everything from tooth decay to cancer to food poisoning. But what is the correct green tea dosage? How can you get all of the benefits if you do not know how much you should consume?

Many studies have been shown that the optimum benefits are found when people consume between three and ten cups per day. Three cups a day is about average in most Asian countries; however, some studies have shown that much higher amounts are needed to get maximum benefits.

For some of us, even drinking 3 cups of green tea per day would be difficult. This is especially true if you are not used to drinking tea or if you do not care for the taste. Some people find that they can only consume this much tea if they add large amounts of sugar or artificial sweeteners. Adding extra calories or chemical sweeteners can reduce or eliminate the health benefits that you would normally get.

Other people find that it is simply too time consuming to drink that many cups of tea. It is inconvenient to brew tea at work when you only have 30 minutes to eat lunch. And the same goes for breakfast; mornings are hectic and there’s little time to sit quietly sitting a cup of tea.

The solution is to take a green tea extract in a supplement instead of trying to drink cup after cup. Capsules deliver the equivalent of three or more cups in one convenient dose. Simply carry the capsules with you and take them wherever you are.

What is the correct green tea dosage? Anywhere from three to ten cups per day - which is very easy to achieve when you use a supplement.
