Does anyone know if drinking Green Tea is beneficial to bodybuilding, other than that the caffiene in it may burn fat?

I do know that green tea tastes good! Oh and it's an antioxidant (you know, like vitamin c).
Yeah and the caffiene in it will give you a little energy, not a whole lot, but a little.

Green Tea contains THEANINE. It's the next great
phony scam supplement to hit the magazines next
month. It's a polyamine or a non-protein amino
acid. They use it for treating cancer tumors.

Lol, really? Man these supplement companies will sell anything and everything to get the money.

Its amazing to know that these companies are allowed to sell off as much phony garbage to the public as they do. Theres only a few legimate companies out there. The rest are just out to burn a hole in your pocket.

Green Tea is good, and i wouldn't say its like a supplement, but its a good beverage. I drink it all the time, but then im also more into Chinese culture than most

Big Red told me that the Theanine in it increases GABA which increases growth hormone. That's what he told me anyway. I haven't read anywhere about that though

when you drink green tea it helps the utilization of fatty acids in the blood stream, there has been many studies done on it and they have all shown that green tea is benificail to fat loss. i found out personally when i drink green tea it helps realease the water in my stomach, which half the time hide my abs, for they can be seen.
