hey funny thing, I'm sitting here reading as I drink a cup of Green Tea. Green Tea is very benefical and from what I've read about it, which isnt very much, it has many positive uses. here are some that I can remember:

-promote healthy gums and prevent cavaties
-I believe it prevents bad bacterial flora while increasing good intensinal flora
-EGCG, a very potent antioxidant
-cardiovascular protective attributes
-thins the blood
-lowers blood pressure

that is what I can remember for now, I think its great stuff, I'm going to go to the store or order an extract in pill or liquid form due to the fact that they have more of the active constituients, the polyphenols and catechins.

How much green tea do you have to drink to get the equivalent of a serving of green tea extract (capsules)?

I'm not too familiar with the green tea extract. I'm going to go looking around to check the polyphenol percentage in some of the products. I think 50% or more would be good.

As far as the tea goes I dont think it is half as strong as getting the extracts. I drink 2 cups a day.

If you want you can go to the grocery store and where they have teas and whatnot, they usually have brand that have the green tea and have about 40 single packets for about 3-4 bucks.

I'm tempted to start trying the stuff myself. I've heard lots of good things about it

It's also termogenic and a good natural diuretic.
