hey
I've been using Camphibolic for about a week now
and its a great product.

i think a possible green tea free version would be great

doesnt green tea inhibit carbohydrate digestion? basically
this worries me because I would like to ensure i am able to
refill as much glycogen as possible after a workout and it
seems like green tea would hinder this.

are my worries misplaced?

Also, in place of the green tea you could throw something in
to enhance glycogen synthesis or carb utilization.

To investigate mechanisms of the anti-obesity actions of green tea in vivo, rats were given green tea instead of drinking water for 3 weeks. It was confirmed that green tea reduced adipose tissue weight without any change in body weight, other tissue weights, and food and water intakes. Green tea also significantly reduced the plasma levels of cholesterols and free fatty acids. Certain catechins existed in the plasma at 0.24 microM under our experimental conditions, though most of them existed as conjugated forms. For mechanisms of the anti-obesity actions, green tea significantly reduced glucose uptake accompanied by a decrease in translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in adipose tissue, while it significantly stimulated the glucose uptake with GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle. Moreover, green tea suppressed the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and the activation of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 in adipose tissue. In conclusion, green tea modulates the glucose uptake system in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and suppresses the expression and/or activation of adipogenesis-related transcription factors, as the possible mechanisms of its anti-obesity actions.

Supaman you said you've been using camphibolic how about posting some feedback.
