Zone Weight Loss Support contains concentrated green tea extract rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol which helps stimulate thermogenesis. The purity and amount of EGCG in Weight Loss Support is much higher than most other green tea dietary supplements. Recent research shows EGCG supplementation can help promote fat oxidation and help induce lipolysis.1,2,3 Other studies reveal green tea supplementation may help reduce body fat, promote thermogenesis, and help maintain daily blood glucose levels.4,5,6,7 To protect the EGCG during processing, the green tea leaves are steamed, not fermented like black tea leaves. As a result, Zone Weight Loss Support has an extremely high concentration of EGCG. The high polyphenol content of green tea also helps to support the body from oxidative damage due to free radicals.8,9*
- Highly purified extract from the leaves of green tea
- Natural compound, no pesticides or herbicides

Your weight is regulated by two powerful biological urges (hunger and satiety) which are managed by hormones. Permanent weight regulation can only be achieved if these urges are in balance. The dietary foundation for permanent weight regulation is in the Zone Wellness Pyramid.
The correct balance of carbohydrates (low-glycemic load fruits and vegetables) coupled with adequate levels of low-fat protein help to regulate insulin and boost glucagon and peptide YY (PYY). PYY is an important gut hormone that can lessen food intake.10 With high insulin, you are constantly hungry, whereas with reduced insulin, increased glucagon, and increased PPY, you are satiated.
8 capsules OmegaRx per day. EPA can help regulate the production of Arachidonic Acid (AA) which is required for the proliferation of new fat cells. AA also promotes the levels of the hormones, endocannabinoids, in the brain that generate hunger. DHA promotes the burning of stored body fat by boosting the nuclear transcription factor PPAR alpha that promotes the production of fat burning enzymes.
2 tablespoons (30ml) per day. The polyphenols in SeaHealth Plus help activate the enzyme AMP kinase that diverts incoming calories to ATP production as opposed to fat storage.
450mg per day. Once you have established the Zone Wellness Pyramid as your dietary foundation, then you may include a function-specific supplement, such as Weight Loss Support. Green tea extracts, and specifically EGCG, are rich in polyphenols that enhance thermogenesis to boost the burning of stored fat.
