Cortisyn's Green Tea Now Clinically Proven To Produce Dual Weight Loss Benefits

Atlanta, GA February 19, 2005 -- If you're thinking of reducing your appetite to lose weight and get ready for summer, think about Green Tea. It has been the focus of several areas of weight loss studies recently. Green tea has been clinically shown to increase the rate of how we burn calories and now being studied for another weight loss benefit, reducing appetite.

One new product containing green tea is called Cortisyn (CortiSlim Compare to Cortisyn), manufactured by Elation Therapy, Inc. ( www.cortisyn.com ), which has also been the focus of weight loss headlines recently. Green tea extract is one of the main ingredients in the break through Cortisyn formula which contains derivatives that have been shown to reduce appetite by decreasing a hormone called leptin and increasing a chemical neurotransmitter called noradrenaline.

Leptin is a protein produced by fats that appear to play an important role in how the body manages fat storage through brain signals. Elation Therapy’s formulator of Cortisyn Bob Rutledge explained, "Years ago it was thought by scientists that lower leptin levels would increase appetite. Current research has now found that it does just the opposite and decreases appetite. There is clear evidence that green tea's polyphenols (EGCG) are a factor in depressing leptin as well as affecting other hormone levels important in regulating appetite. This complements the many ingredients in Cortisyn that decrease appetite through other important biochemical signals such as noradrenaline which can also facilitate healthy weight loss."

Besides affecting leptin levels, green tea also increases noradrenaline levels. Noradrenaline is a chemical neurotransmitter in the nervous system that plays a major role in activation of brown fat tissue (BAT), which is the only metabolically active fat in the human body. Activation of brown fat by increased noradrenaline levels is significant because it burns calories from the white fat located around our waistline, hips and thighs.

"Increasing noradrenaline is just another one of the important weight loss advancements in Cortisyn. We can expect green tea to make an impact, but it's important to include other natural ingredients that also increase noradrenaline so that Cortisyn can provide even greater weight loss benefits for the consumer", Rutledge said.

Typical research has dosage recommendations at 125-500 mg/day (this should be equivalent to 4-10 cups of brewed green tea.) and Cortisyn contains 150 mg per daily serving of Green Tea Extract which provides more than the optimum daily dose for its typical weight loss properties.
