Clinical Study Shows Enviga(TM) Provides Noticeable Increase in Energy
Expenditure
ATLANTA, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- A clinical study published in the
medical journal Obesity (published by NAASO, The Obesity Society)
demonstrated that people who drank the equivalent of three Enviga beverages
over the course of a day burned 106 extra calories per day. This amounted
to a slightly more than four percent increase in the amount of energy each
person used compared with people who drank a low-calorie beverage placebo.
The study was conducted by the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in
collaboration with the Nestle Research Center. Researchers concluded that
three servings per day of a product prototype of Enviga -- a sparkling
green tea containing a unique blend of green tea extract and caffeine --
noticeably increased the amount of energy study participants used without
any negative effects on heart rate or blood pressure.
Following best practices in clinical research, the study looked at 31
healthy men and women non-smokers 18-35 years of age who were of normal
weight. Study participants were provided with a diet designed to match
calorie intake to calorie burning, and were required to drink a serving of
Enviga or a placebo beverage three times per day for three days. On the
third day, participants were studied in a metabolic chamber under
controlled conditions, which included a combination of sedentary activities
and light exercise designed to simulate normal everyday activity.
"Enviga represents the perfect partnership of science and nature,
providing an optimum blend of green tea extracts (EGCG) and caffeine," said
Rhona Applebaum, Chief Scientific and Regulatory Officer, The Coca-Cola
Company. "Enviga complements -- but does not replace -- the need for
regular physical activity and a moderate, varied and balanced diet. It is
not designed as a weight loss product."
"Energy balance is important, but it is just one part of the human
health equation," said Dr. Hilary Green, Group Manager in the Food-Consumer
Interaction Department of Nestle Research Center. "Physical exercise, for
example, delivers a range of health benefits above and beyond its
contribution to energy expenditure."
The study was conducted by the University of Lausanne in partnership
with the Nestle Research Center. Enviga is a product of Beverage Partners
Worldwide (BPW), a joint venture of Nestle and The Coca-Cola Company.
