Is -Epic just green tea?

...And do they know it? Hence why most companies are dropping it?

Can we get this, bull somewhere else and still get any benefits.





Thanks
 
-(-)Epicatechin is a constituent of Green Tea, Chocolate, etc... It is extracted solo or incorporated into products. Yes, there is bulk -(-)Epi - the now defunct Powder City had some. As far as your product reference (If I got the right one) notice the bottom where it says "Standardized to 95% -(-)Epicatechin" - so no, it's not just Green Tea.

do we know roughly what percentage of epi would be in green tea extract say based on 100mg capsule
 
Lipton pure green tea has the highest amount of epicatechins and egcg after steeping a bag in 250ml boiling water for 5 mins.

Interesting way to get your epi
 
There may be some downsides to that much Green Tea - check Suppversity - IIRC high dose *may* mess with sex hormones, but check.
 
so if i took ecgc tablets, which work out roughly 8 cups of coffee, id be getting a good hit?
 
TBH i think its a case of supplement companies just dont know what to bring out next to entice us to spend our money and line their pockets

They know that we are all "hungry" for a muscular physique , none more so than the novice who has just taken up training and tap into that .Due to the hype and publicity (see this page alone follidrone)we tend to forget products that have a proven track record such as creatine , beta-alanine etc.,not to mention the 3 basic fundamentals, nutrition, training and recovery
 
You will get huuuuge and the endurance from the catechins will enable you to workout for 7 hours a day

i use it as a pre workout , 2 heaped teaspoons along with a strip of 90 percent dark chocolate which i melt with boiling water.you can add to that a teaspoon of caffeinated coffee granuals.i find it a gentle energy boost with no crash and the stim effect is mild but enough to keep you focused.and feel good

strongest in the uk, quality is good, I get all my stuff from there - Ive heard other great benefits from green tea from cancer curing to weight loss, so It could easily be a daily thing without much thought

Tell me this isn't true? If that's a case, no one should support any company which has done this.

Honestly repackaging Green tea extract and charging 5x the amount is criminal. Definitely not a company/companies I'd like to support if that's how dodge they are.

Let's not forget, the special absorbion packages to make it more effective ?
