Get In Shape

How it Works:

Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) is well-known for many healthy benefits including its antioxidant and thermogenic properties and support of healthy blood glucose levels.*1-4 The green tea leaf extract in Get In Shape is standardized for 95% polyphenols and 45% Epigallocatechin-3-P-gallate.

Green Maté (Ilex paraguariensis) shares green tea’s thermogenic properties, and helps to support energy levels, healthy blood sugar metabolism, and healthy weight maintenance.* Maté is an age-old botanical that has been used traditionally for centuries but has also been clinically studied for its healthy weight support.*5-9 The maté extract in this formula is standardized to contain 20 – 40% caffeoylquinic acids, one of the plant’s key compounds.*

Apple (Malus domestica) extract with quercetin and phloridzin supports a healthy level of glucose absorption in the bloodstream, promoting a better balance of blood sugar throughout the day.*10-15
