1. Green Tea for weight loss TRA Complex contains green tea catechins (Tegreen 97®) Studies show green tea increases 24 hr energy expenditure even without caffeine 1 1. References: Duloo 1999, 2000. Zhu 2003 

2. Possible mechanism of action for weight loss: angiogenesis inhibition. (angiogenesis = new blood vessel growth) Inhibiting angiogenesis causes weight loss by suppressing blood vessels that supply nutrients to fat cells, which in turn forced fat cells to release their fat. Green tea catechins may be effective natural angiogenesis inhibitors Recent Harvard Research Angiogenesis Liu, & Meydani, Nutrition Reviews Nov. 2003: 384-387

7. Researchers suggest that consuming 2-3 servings of dairy/calcium may reduce the risk of overweight by as much as 70% TRA Complex contains 500 mg of calcium per day = 50% DV Calcium for weight loss
