Ok, so i was thinking about picking up some green tea powder to add into my morning shake just for all of the health benefits associated to it.
How much should I be adding?
How much should I be adding?
Right on, thank you steve!Well the most accurate is a scale, but 500mg give or take a couple isn't going to be hard. 1/4 tsp is 700mg, so if you can manage 2/3 of 1/4tsp, that should be about right.
First I've heard of this.2 ?s:
one) anyone know if there are benefits to taking breaks from green tea or its extracts?
two) there is a such thing as fluoridosis -bones harden and brittle from too much fluoride from tea. i was told by a doctor the other day that this will only be a concern if the tea was grown in specifically over-fluoridated soil. anyone know?
I have heard about this before as well. Makes me wonder about megadosing something like GTE. I know it is usually extracted to a high percent of polyphenols, but what about the other smaller percent? And even if there is extra floride in there, would it be enough to cause damage?2 ?s:

Yeah man, sorry to be so unscientific but I've read the abstracts in the past and long story short most versions of the extract comercially available are processed in a way that long term use can stress the liver. I am by no means making suggestions on length or dose as I can't remember all of that I just wanted to say I wouldn't take it for years on end without a break. The bags are a nice change from the pills, sure you wont get as much egcg from normal drinking but still... anyway, I doubt many people have the discipline to take anything day in and day out for years aside from protein powderWill have to boil me some green tea bags and chill them in fridge and sip on them, after my green tea pills(this is GTE right?) run out.
Thanks, I must agree that they look very professional and also protect the pills. The 1000 count fish-oil bottles are the biggest pill bottles I've seen!i must say, the new labeling on your GTE is awesome!!!
Question for Nutraplanet
I got the very first batch of GTE.
it is brown powder in a clear capsule
The new gte is green powder in white capsules
what is the difference?
it is going to be awhile before i need to order one of those again but i would say that is a much better idea.Thanks, I must agree that they look very professional and also protect the pills. The 1000 count fish-oil bottles are the biggest pill bottles I've seen!
I also remember him saying that too about GTE. The Brown color was supposed to indicate that it was the "real deal" as far as polyphenol, catechin, and EGCG content is concerned.I had asked this same question quite some time ago. If you search in here you will find it. Dsade said the brown was much better. I don't remember what the reason was though. I figgured 50% is 50% regardless of the color.
i would assume NutraPlanet carries the 'realest of the deals'.I also remember him saying that too about GTE. The Brown color was supposed to indicate that it was the "real deal" as far as polyphenol, catechin, and EGCG content is concerned.
