Green Tea: The Ancient Antioxidant Powerhouse With Only 5 Calories

What It Is

Herbalife Green Tea in Pomegranate flavor is a refreshing, low-calorie tea blend that delivers antioxidants and a gentle caffeine boost in just 5 calories per serving. Made with a combination of green tea, black tea, and orange pekoe extracts, it's designed to support your metabolism and provide clean, sustained energy — hot or cold — without the sugar and calories of conventional beverages.

Key Ingredients and How They Work

Green Tea Extract: Green tea has been consumed for thousands of years and is one of the most researched beverages in nutritional science. Its power lies in catechins — natural antioxidants, with EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) being the most abundant and potent. EGCG has been shown to support thermogenesis (your body's natural calorie-burning process) and provide antioxidant protection against cellular damage from free radicals.

Black Tea Extract: Black tea contributes theaflavins and thearubigins — antioxidant compounds created during the tea's oxidation process. These compounds support cardiovascular health and complement the catechins found in green tea. Black tea also provides a portion of the blend's natural caffeine content.

Orange Pekoe Extract: This classic tea grade contributes additional polyphenols and a well-rounded flavor profile. It adds depth to the tea blend while contributing its own antioxidant properties.

Pomegranate Flavor: The pomegranate flavoring provides a refreshing, slightly sweet taste that makes this tea genuinely enjoyable. Pomegranate itself is recognized for its antioxidant properties, and the flavor creates an inviting drinking experience that encourages daily consumption.

Natural Caffeine (~85mg per serving): The caffeine in this blend comes from the tea extracts themselves — not synthetic sources. This natural caffeine provides a gentle, sustained energy lift without the jitters or crash associated with high-caffeine energy drinks or excessive coffee consumption.

How It Works

The combination of tea extracts works through multiple mechanisms. The caffeine provides a gentle stimulant effect that enhances alertness and focus. The catechins and other polyphenols support thermogenesis — a metabolic process where your body generates heat and burns calories. Together, these effects provide a noticeable but comfortable energy boost that supports both your daily vitality and your weight management goals.

Meanwhile, the rich antioxidant content neutralizes free radicals — unstable molecules that damage cells and contribute to aging and disease. By drinking this tea daily, you're providing your body with a consistent supply of protective compounds.

Quality and Trust

Herbalife sources premium tea extracts and processes them to preserve the delicate antioxidant compounds that make green tea so beneficial. Each batch is tested for potency and purity, ensuring you get consistent quality in every serving. The product is manufactured under strict quality standards in Herbalife's certified facilities.

How It Compares

A typical sugary coffee drink contains 300-500 calories. An energy drink packs 150-300 calories with artificial ingredients. Herbalife Green Tea delivers its benefits in just 5 calories with natural tea extracts. Compared to other green tea supplements, the three-tea blend provides a broader spectrum of antioxidants, while the Pomegranate flavor makes it far more enjoyable to drink daily than bitter green tea capsules or plain green tea bags.
