Green Tea Leaf Extract and Thermo Burn Pro™
Green tea leaf extract is a concentrate made from the leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis.
In brief
- Made from tea plant leaves
- Leaves are heated, not fermented
- Holds natural plant compounds called catechins
- One of 11 named label ingredients
What it is
Every kind of true tea comes from Camellia sinensis. For green tea, the fresh leaves are heated soon after picking, which keeps them green and keeps more of their natural compounds. An extract pulls those compounds out of the dried leaf and concentrates them for a capsule.
Where it comes from
Tea gardens cover hillsides from China and Japan to India and beyond. After picking, leaves are steamed or pan-heated and dried. For an extract, makers soak the dried leaves in water or another liquid and then concentrate it.
Why it is in Thermo Burn Pro
Thermo Burn Pro names green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaf extract at the head of its blend.* Serving size and amounts appear on the Supplement Facts panel on your Thermo Burn Pro bottle. The Mineral and the Leaf covers it next to chromium.

Common questions
Is an extract the same as brewed tea?
No. An extract is concentrated, so a capsule holds leaf compounds in a small form.
Why green tea?
Green leaves are heated rather than fermented, so they keep more natural compounds.
Is there a separate amount for it on the label?
Only chromium has its own amount. The plant ingredients share one 510 mg blend total.
