What You Should Know
Green Tea HP is offered by GrenX, a company committed to teaching its members to become the healthiest they can be. The company appears to be just as focused on building a network of distributors as they are on selling their green tea products. The green tea formulas come in a variety of flavors and are touted for their many health benefits, in addition to weight loss. There are many clinical studies cited to show that drinking green tea products every day will help dieters achieve greater health, ward off a variety of diseases and drop excess pounds.
The products appear to be sold in bulk only, and are rather expensive. For example, a box of 60 pixies in a variety of flavors costs almost $80 at the time of this review. Each pixie is to be mixed with 12-20 ounces of water and consumed before meals twice a day, but more can be drunk daily if the consumer prefers. According to the company website, this green tea blend is of higher quality than other green tea products because of the process that is used to prepare the tea leaves. This special process that GrenX uses guarantees a maximum amount of nutrients and health benefits goes into every glass of their tea formulas.
Ingredients
The key ingredients in the Original Green Tea HP include green tea, acai, noni juice, pomegranate juice, resveratrol and trace minerals.
Product Features
GrenX does not appear to offer any money back guarantee on their products. We believe this poses a greater risk to the consumer, especially when considering the high price tag of this product. We encourage consumers to look for free trial offers and money back guarantees that allow them to try before they buy.
From the look of the formula, it appears that the product is primarily geared to the health benefits that can be received from consuming high levels of antioxidants. The only ingredient that seems to be directly related to weight loss is green tea, which can raise the metabolism and help dieters burn calories more efficiently. However, green tea is more effective when combined with other thermogenics, fat burners and appetite suppressants. This formula does not appear to contain any of the above.

Advantages
- Green Tea HP contains a proven thermogenic, green tea.
- The product comes in a variety of flavors.
Disadvantages
- Green Tea HP is expensive.
- There are no other proven weight loss ingredients in the formula.
- The company does not appear to offer a money back guarantee.
- We were unable to find customer testimonials.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that green tea is a positive ingredient in a weight loss supplement. However, we prefer products that combine green tea with other proven fat burners and appetite suppressants for best results. Green Tea HP may simply not be potent enough to encourage significant weight loss results.
what does HP means?

HP stands for high potency, I love the stuff. I lost 30 pounds in 4 months drinking it. It’s an amazing product!!

Samantha, what did you give up to lose 30 pounds? You don’t just lose 30 pounds by drinking green tea alone.

I too have lost a significant amount of weight using Green Tea HP for the past two months. I have lost 15 lbs, and have more energy from using the product. A friend of mine noticed the weight loss at work and has since been onthe product for 1 month and he has lost 10 lbs. Of course, this is including a sensible diet and exercise, but I really feel the product is working to my advantage.

I have been drinking 1 pixie of Green Tea HP everyday to the end of the box. I love them, and find they give me a small boost of energy, and do think I may eat less, however I have lost no weight! If you are losing weight, it’s because you want to and not because you are drinking green tea.
Does this product contain aspertane?

is green tea hp safe to drink in your third trimester of pregnancy?

Hi, I hope you read this. Caffeine has been linked to lower IQ in children. My best friend (a clinical psychologist, PhD) told me about the studies, and a colleauge of my husband’s said that she unknowlingly became pregnant- and while she didn’t know she drank coffee, medications, etc. While her baby turned out physically healthy, she says that compared to her other two children who are extremely smart(through whose pregnancies she was very careful, ie no caffeine, no contraceptives, medications, junk food, etc.) he definitely has to work very hard at school. Obviously that’s just one person’s experience, but it’s backed by the new studies.

Just so you don’t worry though: that particular child is also a very happy, good natured child, so don’t worry too much if you have been drinking caffeine. I have very smart kids, and I lowered but didn’t totally cut out caffeine during my pregnancies since I didn’t know this info. But def cut it down if you can.

Hello there! first of all i would have to say that there customer service upfront was not bad. The girl that was introducing the product to me was very and nice and knowledgeable with the product; unfortunately when she told me the price I was outraged. I was also outraged because she claimed you could lose ten pounds by just drinking the tea twice a day!
She explained how there was 60 “teas”, which she called pixies to a box. The box is $80.00. (So they try and get you to drink it twice a day before your meals, so you eat less, drink more tea, therefore you buy more tea). She also offered me a free sample, which I thought was great. She got a water bottle, and poured the tea (which is all powdered form) into the water bottle. I got Pineapple Strawberry, and it was very very sweet, she said it was sugar free, and explained that it had acai berry and a very high concentration of green tea and that is why you would lose the weight! I was laughing when she said this because of the texture of the tea and the taste, (which was pretty bad and I could taste the artificial sweeteners in it). I asked for the box so I could look at the ingredients myself; and I stood corrected, the tea contained sucralose and other fishy ingredients that are not all natural; which is what the kiosk claims.
When I told the sales girl that I didn’t like the taste of the tea, she offered another flavor claiming that was I was tasting was not artificial sweetener but “acai berry”, but I told her that I eat acai berry daily and that it does not taste like that whatsoever!
In conclusion, I went to check out the product and I am glad I did not buy, the second I was thinking about buying, another customer comes up and wants to return her box and it turns out the return policy is bogus! She left really upset and the sales girl couldn’t do anything but blame it on the “company”.
The company is pretty bogus and is such a scam! I know a lot about nutrition and that tea is nothing but nutritious and it will not help you lose weight! Diet and physical activity will help you! Not some overprices fake tea and did I mention expensive!
p.s. the half star was for the sales girl; she was nice, polite and helpful as much as you could be!

I also found this product at a mall. The salesperson was very nice. She said it does not contain caffeine but it does (about the equivilant of a half cup of coffee). I also tasted the artifical sugar, about the same as a diet soda. What sold me on the product was the before and after for me. I was given a bottle with strawberry/pineaple or something like that. I drank the tea and within an hour I felt a real loss of apetitie. I felt a bit more energetic too. I needed both of these to help with my diet plan. I want to curb the cravings and I need more energy. I buy one box at a time as it is very expensive. My husband tried one and was also surprised at the energy increase. There were no jitters or crash that I’ve experienced with other products or even coffee and sugar. It may not be for everyone and WE all know that exercise and portion control is the only way to lose weight. This tea is a help, not a miracle worker. I suggest you go to Horton Plaza in San Diego or find out where they are selling it and try it for yourself. Also, I will not use this as a long term fix for my weight loss solution. I WILL have to work on my self control, exercise routine and diet to maintain a healthy weight. It’s cheaper than Lipo and stomach surgery.

I also bought the tea at a mall kios. the sales boy was very polite and nice. My husdand and I were ready to leave the mall because we were exhausted. We were given a sample and I could not believe the energy we both go in just under 30 mins. I did buy a box. I bought the one that is cream. it has real sugar. i use it right before i drive. We are over the road truck drivers and it helps with energy and cures my hunger around 2am!! we try to eat right but when you live on the road and drive over 250,000 miles a year its hard!! I am moving from the east coast to the west coast in 52 hours!! It did make me feel kind of strange the first couple of times i drank it. My husband does not like it. i hope this helps..

I just started this tea program. while i agree that it is expensive it had some possitive effects on me i could not ignore. for one i have mild anxiety and depression. i did not want to be medicated for this mild of a case. when i started the tea supplements my mood just lifted, my energy has gone up, and before this i drank ALOT of coke and now never crave it. i personally endorse this.

I am drinking Green Tea HP for myself and so is my husband. I started weight watchers 3 months ago and found that my cravings were unbearable. It is very hard to lose weight when I feel like I am starving and craving junk food. I started drinking the drink and became a distributer (I am in actuality only buying it for myself, it doesn’t save much but every penny counts) I currently drink only one daily but I can honestly say that my cravings have gone to almost zero. I am not consumed with the idea of food when I have one a day. To offset the flavor I mix it with 8 ounces orange juice and 12 ounces water. It makes it really sweet, but it tastes pretty good. I haven’t been very good on my diet this month at all and still lost 4 pounds. It is a slow process and Green Tea HP is not a miracle worker, but I do feel more energy, have less cravings and am losing weight. For the moment I am willing to continue giving it a try.

I have been drinking it for two days and feel the energy boost. Does this boost last? I also feel jittery but that maybe due to caffeine sensitivity, I feel this way with coffee too.I also want to know if there has been anyone with and very negative effects?? So far I think I will stick with it for a few more weeks to see if weight loss does occur. I am also watching my diet and exercising, so hopefully this will help.

I have been drinking Green Tea HP for two weeks now, also purchased at a stand in a mall. I have not seen any weight loss yet. Since i started drinking the tea i noticed more energy feel great, get more out of my days and i am more productive
but, i was reading on these comments that the money back is a scam and i feel bad because the girl on the stand told me that if i didn’t loose 4pounds in two weeks that i could return the product and get my money back.
Now, i guess i have to wait for the results.

where do I buy greentea hp in salt lake area?Is there a mall or something?

I used to sell Green Tea HP on an occasional basis. Before I started selling it, I did hours of research on every single ingredient in the product to make sure I wasn’t selling something toxic or fake. I was on board with all of the ingredients (I’m iffy on the sucralose, but there’s .001% of it in the ingredients, so that’s ok for me) because they all have amazing health benefits. Our return rate on the product was actually super low (though I did take it on myself to advise customers that you can’t return the product with more than 10 drinks gone) and more than half of our customers were repeat customers. Pros: increases energy, lowers blood sugar & blood pressure, reduces inflammation causing arthritis, edema and migraines, aids in weight loss, 20+ flavors. Cons: high priced, no money back guarantee, no frequent buyer discounts. I would say most of the people who came back to buy more did so because they liked how they felt when taking it, not necessarily because they saw dramatic weight loss (several customers said they dropped their depression meds altogether!). I lost around 15 pounds in 2 months taking it but MIND YOU that was also with diet and exercise! In case you were wondering, you DO have to take 2 per day (costs about $2.75 per day) if you want to see weight loss and that’s not a scam. Each pixie has the equivalent of 50 cups of green tea antioxidants; studies have shown you would need to drink 70 cups of green tea daily to see weight loss results. Obviously, that’s not possible in a day. If you bought this product and only drank one per day, it would not aid in weight loss at all. Some people came back upset because they did not see the promised weight loss, but I can tell you that everyone I know personally who was taking it as recommended saw weight loss anywhere from 2-12 pounds in a month. It is not a Hollywood miracle drug, and it will probably only work well in conjunction with diet and exercise, but as great as it makes me feel, I keep buying it even though I don’t work there now. It’s cheaper and healthier than a Starbucks, right?

I bought this product from a kiosk at a mall last March. I dug it out recently and started drinking it again which is “difficult” because in my opinion, it tastes AWFUL! I got the variety pack with different flavors. The only ones tolerable are mocha and vanilla flavor but they are extremely sweet; the others; orange, lemon, etc are just plain terrible and difficult to drink. I have to force myself to swallow it. I do think it helps curb my appetite, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
