Mega-T Green Tea Review

An update has been made to this review. Please see the ingredient update below.

Mega-T Green Tea is “a natural, drug-free dietary supplement formulated to help you achieve your weight loss goals.” In big, bright yellow letters the packaging reads: “LOSE UP TP 20 LBS*.” That little asterisk below says “over a period of time with diet plan.” Hmm…over a period of time. How long of a time? 10 years? And with a diet plan… ok, I’ll buy that because it’s always good to have a good diet plan when trying to lose weight. But here’s my point: I can lose 20 lbs “over a period of time” of 5 years with a “diet plan” without even using Mega-T Green Tea. Poor advertising in my opinion.

Aside from that, Mega-T Green Tea claims to help curb appetite, help burn calories, and help boost energy. How will Mega-T Green Tea stand up to its claims? This review will help answer that question.

Mega-T Green Tea Ingredients

• Green Tea
• Chromium
• Garcinia Cambogia
• Guarana
• Elethero
• Bladderwrack, Fo-Ti, & Gotu Kola

Green Tea – Mega-T Green Tea claims that it “helps curb appetite.” This is entirely false. Green Tea isn’t an appetite suppressant, but it does increase the metabolic rate. Green tea is a very effective diet pill ingredient that has a lot of supporting research.

Chromium - Research is both supportive and unsuportive of chromium’s effectiveness on weight loss. The jury’s still out on this one.

Garcinia Cambogia - This is a quality diet pill ingredient meant to act as an appetite suppressant.

Ingredient Update: The FDA has issued a warning against Hydroxycut-branded products for possibly causing health problems related with the liver. While the FDA has not confirmed it, some believe that the ingredient behind the problems is Hyrdoxycitric Acid, or HCA. HCA is found in Garcinia Cambogia. So until more definitive research is done, we are no longer recommending any products that contain the ingredient Hyrdoxycitric Acid. See the complete FDA report here or the Hydroxycut Review here for more info.

Guarana – Some studies show that it is effective when combined with yerba mate and damiana. You’ll notice that Mega-T Green Tea doesn’t contain these.

Mega-T Green Tea has included a few good ingredients, but not in high enough amounts to be effective.

Mega-T Green Tea’s Marketing

As already mentioned, their marketing seems a bit sloppy (their unclear weight loss promises and the incorrectly stated benefit of green tea). Not that this in and of itself is enough to completely disregard the diet pill, but I think it is somewhat indicative of the company behind the pill. We like that they avoid flashy photos of half dressed people and ridiculous before and after photos.

Mega-T Green Tea’s Price

$6 for 30 capsules which is only a 15 days supply. Thats very cheap, but let me suggest that you’re getting what you pay for. Not much. It’s also apparent that they’ve reduced the prices from around $30. Sales must not be very good.

Mega-T Green Tea’s Guarantee

They have a 6-8 week money back guarantee on all unused bottles of product. Not the best guarantee, but its better than some.

Conclusion

Green tea (the ingredient) is a very effective diet pill ingredient. Mega-T Green Tea, however, isn’t likely to be effective due to the fact that they don’t include very much green tea, nor other ingredients in their formula. (At least they disclosed their formula. Thank you.) Their price is cheap, but for good reason. Their guarantee is decent. Overall conclusion: You can find better diet pills (although with a little higher price tag) that have the right amounts of proven ingredients.
