NOW Foods Supplements, EGCg Green Tea Extract ,Dietary,400 mg, Free Radical Scavenger*, 180 Veg Capsules

It is a solid supplement for those looking to boost antioxidant intake and support metabolism naturally. Each capsule provides a concentrated dose of green tea benefits without the jitters of excessive caffeine. It’s easy to take, well-tolerated, and comes from a trusted brand known for quality supplements.

Excellent supplement. It works. The desire to eat goes away and at the same time activity does not decrease. Also the price and quantity were good... I am happy with the purchase.

Studies have found that EGCG - which is the component of green tea that is largely responsible for all the amazing anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-Alzheimer's benefits - is very poorly absorbed. In fact, if you take it with a protein-containing food (especially one that contains the amino acid proline, which is really high in dairy), it pretty much negates all its benefits as it keeps your body from absorbing it. I'm a nutrition student and am in the middle of writing a report/scouring the journals for information on EGCG. Current research shows that it is best taken first thing in the morning, after fasting all night, with 1000 mg of high quality fish oil from salmon, 200 mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and AWAY from protein. I love this product because it's incredibly cheap, has a high amount of EGCG and some vitamin C, though I also take it with citrus bioflavanoids for some extra C. Sometimes I'll take it at the same time I'm eating an orange or a little fat, but always away from protein. If it makes you nauseous, start with one pill and some fruit. Rarely do I take more than one at a time. Side note: it's likely the small amount of caffeine that's responsible for the nausea. If you tolerate caffeine/black coffee or tea well, you're unlikely to have issues with this.

Great product

Good price and smooth delivery, will order again

Very satisfied with its apparent health feelings. Of course it's always difficult to assess supplement effects but we try our best to discern differences when they occur. I can tell you I feel much more energetic in the mornings after starting this extract. I'm not going oversell this product except to verify my personal experience.

At 52, I spent my first year out of college living in Japan. I learned to appreciate good green tea and the health benefits that it would provide. Ever since then I have used a green tea extract and particularly, this brand and this version for 10 years. I'll be cautious to overly impart every benefit I'm about to state to the green tea but I am very clear on a few. Taking a multivitamin regimen daily for several decades, the single time I swapped out this brand for a different one, was when gray hair began, only a few sprouts mind you but I am multiple years older than my brother, and have 2% Gray hair versus 100% on him. Additionally as a free radical scavenger, at 52 I would say I'm in the best shape of my life with a low body fat index and commonly commented as looking younger for my age. Of course this is a combination of multiple lifestyle components and genetics, and not just taking a magic pill, but having used this as long as I have, it is a daily go-to for life.

I stopped smoking and my food cravings went crazy. Like crazy pregnancy cravings. I then realized no matter how much I exercised, I couldn’t lose weight. My metabolism is completely different now. I gain weight in different areas. Usually I can control the cravings, but some days it’s hard. So I decided to try the EGCg. I will say that I had a lot of energy. Not the jittery type that makes you feel sick. However, I make sure to eat with the medication. Some do empty stomach, but I’d rather not risk it. Appetite suppressant: I don’t even notice I’m hungry until my stomach is so empty I can’t ignore it. The only thing you have to watch out for is that about 6-8 hours later, you might start getting super hungry. So don’t NOT eat, just eat very healthy things. If you’re prone to insomnia, please take this EARLY morning. Even though it wears off about 6 hours after I take it, it will affect my sleep if I take it late morning/early afternoon. Update: it’s been causing intense anxiety and/or anger at the end of my day. I’m extremely sensitive to anything that might poke around my dopamine levels and it seems this does. I didn’t know what was going on, but when I didn’t take it the following day, I could feel a huge difference in mood.

I would not recommend taking Green Tea Extract ever to anyone. I took just one tab in the morning and worked out in the morning for a week. Whenever I took GTE, that night I would be half asleep and half awake. I've read reviews where people found GTE beneficial. May be the effect varies and is not suitable for everyone.

Looks OK. Hope it is authentic.

Very good item

中身がオレンジ色っぽい茶色のパウダーのカプセル。１錠で400mgの緑茶抽出物が摂取できるので、普段コーヒーが多くてお茶を飲む機会がすくないため助かっています。正直「これのお陰で～」みたいなのはわかりません。かれこれ５年ぐらい飲んでいますが・・・(笑)一番気になる海外からの発送でしたがしっかり記載の納期以内に届きました。さすがに国内のように注文翌日に欲しいような方には無理ですが、多少余裕をもって注文しましょう！

Good product
