    Nirengi S, et al

    Published in Am J Clin Nutr

    Key Findings

    Daily catechin plus caffeine ingestion for 5 weeks increased cold-induced thermogenesis in adults with low baseline BAT activity.

    Conclusions

    Tea catechins with caffeine can recruit BAT thermogenic capacity.

    Limitations

    Small sample; surrogate thermogenesis endpoints, not weight loss.

    Supplements Studied

    Outcomes Measured

    Brown Fat Activation
