Green Tea Supps

[njmuscleguy]

does anybody know what the down-side of taking too much green tea? I remember reading somewhere that taking a certain amount on a daily basis for a long period of time had negative effects?

U need to brush up on your tea facts.

LOL!!

yes someone is a bit sure of themselves, when talking about extracts , and not whole tea. Even then such surety is a bit amusing

Green Tea and its extract are both great. It'll probably end up being there with fish oil once studies on prolonged affects are done.

i was watching a special on TV the other night .. tea's in china they can go as high as 25k for a kilogram and some fat american lady bought a very very small cup of tea for 100.00...then there was the cup thats costed 1200.00 i bieleive...and by cup i mean the thing was the size of a scooper from our protien jugs

macro would that stuff be potent for fat loss too?

I guess I could have put this in the Supps forum but I am currently on a cycle so I will use that as my excuse to put this up here. Im curious to see how many of you guys take Green Tea supps while cutting, what you take, and how much? Ive never really dabbled in the whole Green Tea thing but Im thinking of adding some into my current diet. I remember seeing a post a while ago that explained how much you actually need to take per day to actually have it make a difference, maybe someone could throw up some good info for me.

Yes great supp,,, boost immune system, metabolism.

Whats the IDEAL GT dosage per day for aiding in fat loss? If one is looking to cut how much is considered optimal w/out overkill. Obviously it is a stimulant so you can go overboard.

there really is not one. Its going to vary between individuals. though IMO the dose response curve shift is generally somewhere between 1-2 grams of EGCG.

I think I read somewhere a while back that caffeine intake should be very limited or eliminated altogether while combating arthritis and chronic inflammatory conditions. Also, for those suffering from IBS.

Any comments?
