Hey mac....just got my green tea supps,...Other green tea i have used in the past has a "tea smell" to it. These have none, why is that?

because its a high percentage extract, some green tea supps will add green tea (non extracted) as the base (hence they will smell more like tea)

I have been taking the camp product from usp labs, it pretty much is just green tea right?

 

[macrophage69alpha]

thats the most prevalent ingredient but it could be as little as 200-300mg of extract per 2 caps.

if you want to take green tea specifically for EGCG, then make sure you use a product that lists the amount of green tea and egcg

Taking my Green Tea Supp right before sleep now. (as well as in the morning).

Is this a waste?

Using "Nature's Bounty" Green Tea Extract. I was told this is a good product. I mat try AF's Green Tea.

 

[macrophage69alpha]

there are very few products that are comparable to AF's (scotts finest) green tea extract. EGCG content is what you need to look at (225mg/cap with AF's)

What about the PM dosage?

 

[macrophage69alpha]

no problem with taking before bed and yes it still provides benefits

Macro, does the grade of Green Extract matter? I noticed there are different grades, 45% and 60% for example.

Nothing wrong with mega man.....multis are just there to fill in the cracks.

I have been told you only absorb about 10% of the MegaMen vitamin.
I want the best for my $$ when it comes to anything I take. The only thing left is my multi-vitamin.

i take lifesource for men energy formula. good stuff. got some milkthistle in it and tons of other good shit.

i never heat my water for green tea. i just put 5 tea bags in a 32oz cup of water and let them sit for about 15 minutes bouncing them every now and then. is this ok?

also, i get decaf, does the decaf have the goods in it still?

 

[macrophage69alpha]

yes, but caffeine also provides many of the benefits.

The extracts - I'm just not "feeling" them.
It's a hastle, and more money, but the fresh, loose leaf, has more of a slam, IMO.

LOW TEMP (150 not 212) SHORT BREW (1-3 min.) otherwise it gets bitter,
and you burn off all the good properties.
When you see "froth" on top - you done good.
