Liver problems have not been observed with the use of green tea in beverages. In addition to the potential side effects from the caffeine content in green tea extract, there is some risk of liver problems associated with green tea extract consumption. There is currently insufficient data to determine the efficacy of green tea extract in aiding weight loss.

Green tea extract is currently used for a variety of conditions including improving mental alertness and aiding in weight loss. Potential side effects of caffeine may include insomnia, anxiety, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, headaches and abnormal heart beat. However, in 1992, in a double-blind placebo controlled study, caffeine (at a dose of 200 mg daily) was found to be no more effective in promoting weight loss as compared to a placebo. There are a number of studies showing that caffeine has a short-term stimulatory effect on basal metabolic rate. The caffeine content in the daily recommended dose of Dexatrim products ranges from 50–400 mg per day. Active Ingredients: Weight Loss Efficacy & Potential Side Effects Caffeine
