NOW Foods EGCg Green Tea Extract ,400mg, 90 Vcaps Reviews
| 24 of 29 people found the following review helpful  Liking the effects, By This review is from: NOW Foods EGCg, Green Tea Extract, 400mg, 180 Vcaps (Health plus Beauty) I have been taking green tea extract for over two months along with raspberry ketones which I read go very well together - Green Tea Extract 60 Capsules (500mg) + FREE 50 Grams Raspberry Ketones Powder. I have been really liking the effects. I take the green tea first thing in the morning as an energy booster for my workout, plus then I take the ketones before lunch so I don't get any cravings in the afternoon (totally works). 68 of 93 people found the following review helpful Suprisingly Effective, By Amazon Verified Purchase I was specifically looking for Optio Green Tea, having used it several years ago with incredible success, but it was so expensive ($6 for 20 bags, add shipping to boot). I drank it in the past because of the 25x concentration of antioxidants. So, in my search for a more economical alternative I settled on EGCg Green Tea Extract by NOW. I was worried about this particular product because it contained 4 mg of caffeine plus green tea normally makes me feel even worse than coffee. Having taken this for 2 weeks I can honestly say my fears were unwarranted, especially since the bottom of the label clearly says it is decaffeinated green tea that is used. It's not the strongest, nor the most concentrated product you can buy here on Amazon, but it is incredibly effective.I have a condition that causes me to completely shut down plus I can't stay out of bed for more than an hour or 2 at a time some days; this product has greatly alleviated that problem (I don't recommend taking it at...

A lot of brands don't list this information or have much lower total catechin percentages. Also, this comes in just the right dosage. The directions say to take 1 pill/day.I see no visible effects, as would be expected. I take the 1 pill per day before my meals, sometimes an hour after if I forget. No nausea. This isn't a caffeinated product; it's an antioxidant/flavinoid thingy generally used to reduce inflammation. I don't see how it would give a person more energy (unless you are suffering from severe inflammation, chronic fatigue, etc.) or make them jittery. An average 8oz cup of green tea contains 333mg of flavinoids (mainly catechins, mainly EGCg), so since this is 400mg plus 80% catechins, it sounds like 1 of these pills is the equivalent to about 1 cup of green tea. |
