help Green Tea Extract FAQ
How much EGCG is actually in green tea extract?
The amount varies substantially, so the capsule weight alone does not reveal the EGCG dose. A useful label separately states total polyphenols, catechins, EGCG, caffeine, and the serving size.
Should green tea extract be taken with food?
Taking a concentrated extract with food may reduce nausea and exposure associated with an empty stomach. This matters because high-dose green tea extracts have been linked to rare but potentially serious liver injury.
Is green tea extract the same as drinking green tea?
No. An extract can deliver a concentrated catechin dose in one serving, while brewed tea generally provides a smaller amount together with water and other tea compounds.
Does green tea extract contain caffeine?
Some products retain caffeine and others are sold as decaffeinated, so the label must be checked. Even a decaffeinated extract may contain a small residual amount rather than being absolutely caffeine-free.
