Green Surge is a unique weight-loss supplement that combines more common supplement ingredients with nutrient-rich algae. The research-backed elements of this blend have been shown to boost metabolism, energy, and mood while suppressing appetite and helping your body burn more fat. Two types of algae add nutrients and antioxidants that can boost your immune system and improve overall health.

• Green Tea Extract (leaf): Just like coffee, green tea leaves contain a host of chemical compounds and research is ongoing on their possible benefits. One of its key ingredients is caffeine, a stimulant shown to increase metabolic rate as well as help with energy and mood. See the studies listed under 'caffeine anhydrous' below. Green tea also contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a compound that has attracted a lot of attention for various health benefits, including weight loss. Though the mechanism isn't fully understood, evidence suggests green tea is able to promote weight loss. A meta study supporting this effect
• Chlorella Powder: Chlorella is a nutrient-dense green algae. Since it contains so many nutrients, it has a number of potential benefits, including supplying antioxidants, supporting the immune system, and removing toxins from the body. A study showing antioxidant activity A study finding benefits to the immune system A study finding benefits in mercury removal in mice
• Spirulina Powder: Spirulina is a blue-green algae which, like chlorella, is full of nutrients. Among its various health benefits, it has also been found to have a positive impact on weight and to help suppress appetite. A study supporting these claims
• Caffeine Anhydrous: Found most commonly in coffee and tea, caffeine is a stimulant shown to increase metabolic rate as well as help with energy and mood. (“Anhydrous' just means “without water,' indicating a dry, concentrated form of the ingredient.) A meta-study supporting these effects A study showing an increase in energy consumption
• Ephedra (Ephedra viridis): Also known as Mormon tea, this species of ephedra is native to the Western United States. The form of ephedra used in this supplement does not contain ephedra alkaloids, which cannot legally be included in supplements in the US. Though studies are presently limited, it is thought other compounds present in Ephedra viridis may have several beneficial effects, including on metabolism. For more information, see our page on ephedra.
• White Willow Bark Extract: The bark of the willow tree has been widely used in traditional medicine. It contains a substance similar to aspirin and is thought to enhance the effects of some of the thermogenic ingredients in this supplement.
• Cinnamon Extract: This common spice can also have health benefits when used as a supplement. It has been found to help individuals reduce weight and burn fat. A meta study supporting these claims
• Synephrine HCL: The chemical p-synephrine, found naturally in certain plants, has been found to increase metabolism while lacking some of the unwanted side effects of other stimulants. A study discussing the thermogenic effects of p-synephrine
• Theobromine: An alkaloid found in chocolate, it is a stimulant whose effects on the body appear to be similar to those of caffeine but perhaps with fewer unwanted side effects. A study on the beneficial effects of theobromine
• Alpha Yohimbine: Sometimes also called rauwolscine, this is a form of yohimbine, a chemical derived from the bark of certain species of trees. Though it has not been extensively studied, it is thought to be somewhat more potent than ordinary Yohimbe, which has been shown to help reduce body fat.

How to Use Green Surge

When beginning with any new supplement, it's a good idea to test your tolerance by starting with 1 capsule with breakfast the first day and seeing how your body reacts. If you experience no unwanted effects, the manufacturer recommends taking one capsule 2-3 times daily. Do not take more than 3 capsules in any 24-hour period.

As with any diet aid supplement, Green Surge cannot make up for poor eating habits and a lack of exercise. This supplement is designed to help support your holistic approach to weight loss that includes a healthy diet and plenty of physical activity.
