Hello, Yes It definitely does. Green tea contains bioactive substances like caffeine and EGCG, which can have powerful effects on metabolism. The substances in green tea increase levels of hormones that tell fat cells to break down fat. This releases fat into the bloodstream and makes it available as energy. Green tea extract can boost the burning of fat. The effect is even stronger when exercising. Green tea can boost metabolism and help people burn about 3-4% more calories each day. To get the amount of caffeine and catechins purported to help you lose weight, you would need to drink 2 to 4 cups of green tea a day,
