Green Tea Extract
The formula's antioxidant component, at a catechin dose that is genuine, modest, and safely below the levels that raise concerns.
Why Green Tea Extract Is in SodaSlim
A standardised leaf extract rich in EGCG, the catechin most studied for its relationship with fat oxidation and energy expenditure. It is one of the five named ingredients in the SodaSlim formula, included at 130 mg per capsule (Camellia sinensis, leaf · 45% EGCG, <3% caffeine), and this page covers what it is, the research context, and how that amount compares to the research.
SodaSlim publishes its amounts — and they are worth comparing
Unusually for this category, the SodaSlim label discloses every per-serving amount rather than hiding behind a proprietary blend. That is genuinely to its credit, and it lets you do something most supplements make impossible: compare what is in the capsule against what the research actually used.
Doing that comparison is revealing. The caffeine is at a meaningful dose. Several of the botanicals sit well below the amounts used in the studies they are associated with. The individual ingredient pages set out each comparison rather than glossing over it.
What Green Tea Extract in SodaSlim Is
Green tea extract is a concentrated preparation from Camellia sinensis leaves — the same plant as ordinary green tea, with the polyphenols concentrated.
SodaSlim's extract is standardised to 98% polyphenols, 75% catechins, 45% EGCG and under 3% caffeine, at 130 mg per capsule. That works out at roughly 58 mg of EGCG per serving.
EGCG — epigallocatechin gallate — is the catechin most of the research concerns, and publishing this level of standardisation detail is genuinely unusual for a supplement label.
The Research Context Behind Green Tea in SodaSlim
Green tea catechins have a reasonably substantial research base around energy expenditure and fat oxidation, and the studies the official source cites are part of it.
The proposed mechanism is that catechins inhibit an enzyme involved in breaking down noradrenaline, prolonging its thermogenic signalling — an effect that appears to work synergistically with caffeine, which is one reason the two so often appear together.
Meta-analyses of catechin-plus-caffeine combinations have found small reductions in body weight and modest increases in energy expenditure. The effects are real but consistently small, and reviews have noted they may be less pronounced in habitual caffeine consumers.
Most studies showing thermogenic effects used higher catechin intakes than 58 mg — frequently several hundred milligrams of EGCG daily.
Why Green Tea Is Included in SodaSlim, and at What Amount
It supplies the antioxidant element of the formula and pairs with the caffeine, which is the combination the research most often examined.
The amount is modest relative to study doses, and there is an upside to that worth stating explicitly, because it runs against the usual pattern on these pages.
High-dose green tea extract has been associated with liver injury in a number of case reports, and European food safety authorities have flagged concerns at daily EGCG intakes of 800 mg and above from concentrated extracts. At roughly 58 mg, this formula sits comfortably and reassuringly below that threshold.
Responsible Expectations and Safety for Green Tea in SodaSlim
Expect a modest antioxidant and thermogenic contribution alongside the caffeine, rather than a distinct effect of its own.
Safety notes. At this amount green tea extract is well tolerated. The liver concern described above applies to much higher concentrated doses, and taking extracts with food rather than on an empty stomach is generally advised as a precaution.
Green tea can reduce the absorption of non-haem iron, which matters if you are managing low iron. It may interact with anticoagulant medication, and its vitamin K content is a consideration for anyone on warfarin. Anyone with liver disease should avoid concentrated green tea extracts without medical advice.
How to read the research on this SodaSlim page
The studies described here examined individual ingredients, usually on their own, at doses set by the researchers. That research provides scientific context for why an ingredient appears in a formula.
It does not demonstrate that the finished SodaSlim product produces the same outcomes. No clinical trial of this finished formula has been published, so nothing here is product-level clinical evidence.

If your relationship with food or your body feels difficult
Weight-management products sit close to a genuinely hard area of life. If thinking about food, weight or your body is causing you distress, or eating patterns feel out of your control, a supplement is not the right tool and this website is not the right resource. Speaking to a GP or a qualified professional is worth far more. In the US, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline is available on 1-866-662-1235.
