Tea supports insulin sensitivity and estrogen balance.
Green, black, oolong, and white teas’ function:
Antioxidants: Green tea stands out because it is not fermented, which helps it retain more antioxidants that protect your cells. One powerful antioxidant, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), supports metabolism (how your body uses energy) and hormone health.
Metabolic health: Research shows green tea can lower blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and support modest weight loss. This may be beneficial for people with polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS)—now called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)—linked to high androgens (male hormones), acne, excess hair, and irregular periods. Benefits may be more substantial when you drink it regularly for at least three months.
S*x hormones: One long-term study suggests added benefits, noting that women who drank green tea daily for over 20 years had healthier estrogen levels, lower weight, and better sleep. Men in similar studies have shown higher testosterone levels, better moods, and improved sleep.
