Studies have found that EGCG - which is the component of green tea that is largely responsible for all the amazing anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-Alzheimer's benefits - is very poorly absorbed. In fact, if you take it with a protein-containing food (especially one that contains the amino acid proline, which is really high in dairy), it pretty much negates all its benefits as it keeps your body from absorbing it. I'm a nutrition student and am in the middle of writing a report/scouring the journals for information on EGCG. Current research shows that it is best taken first thing in the morning, after fasting all night, with 1000 mg of high quality fish oil from salmon, 200 mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and AWAY from protein. I love this product because it's incredibly cheap, has a high amount of EGCG and some vitamin C, though I also take it with citrus bioflavanoids for some extra C. Sometimes I'll take it at the same time I'm eating an orange or a little fat, but always away from protein. If it makes you nauseous, start with one pill and some fruit. Rarely do I take more than one at a time. Side note: it's likely the small amount of caffeine that's responsible for the nausea. If you tolerate caffeine/black coffee or tea well, you're unlikely to have issues with this.

Great product

This EGCg supplement is a total game changer for me 💊 I’ve got more energy, better focus, and it even helps keep my cravings in check 🍵 I didn’t expect to notice such a difference, but wow 🤩 it really works! Super easy to take, no weird side effects ✅ Definitely adding this to my daily routine. Im about to buy a second bottle to keep at work 🏃‍♂️ Highly recommend if you need a little boost without the jitters ⚡

Very satisfied with its apparent health feelings. Of course it's always difficult to assess supplement effects but we try our best to discern differences when they occur. I can tell you I feel much more energetic in the mornings after starting this extract. I'm not going oversell this product except to verify my personal experience.

I stopped smoking and my food cravings went crazy. Like crazy pregnancy cravings. I then realized no matter how much I exercised, I couldn’t lose weight. My metabolism is completely different now. I gain weight in different areas. Usually I can control the cravings, but some days it’s hard. So I decided to try the EGCg. I will say that I had a lot of energy. Not the jittery type that makes you feel sick. However, I make sure to eat with the medication. Some do empty stomach, but I’d rather not risk it. Appetite suppressant: I don’t even notice I’m hungry until my stomach is so empty I can’t ignore it. The only thing you have to watch out for is that about 6-8 hours later, you might start getting super hungry. So don’t NOT eat, just eat very healthy things. If you’re prone to insomnia, please take this EARLY morning. Even though it wears off about 6 hours after I take it, it will affect my sleep if I take it late morning/early afternoon. Update: it’s been causing intense anxiety and/or anger at the end of my day. I’m extremely sensitive to anything that might poke around my dopamine levels and it seems this does. I didn’t know what was going on, but when I didn’t take it the following day, I could feel a huge difference in mood.

According to a recent paper, this product is supposedly good for lowering intraocular pressure, and the antioxidants also protect the eyes. After reading the paper, I ordered this same product and have been taking it. Whether it's because of that or some other reason, my eye pressure seems to be well-regulated. Of course, this might just be the case for me personally
