Mega Green Tea Extract (Decaffeinated) - 100 - VegCap
Description:
Mega Green Tea Extract (Decaffeinated) 100 vegetarian capsules The active constituents in green tea are polyphenols, with an antioxidant called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) being the most powerful. The antioxidant activity of EGCG is about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E.16 One cup of green tea may provide 10-40 mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant effects that are greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries. The botanical extract in Mega Green Tea Extract has been concentrated and dual standardized to ensure the highest quality, consistency, and biological activity. Each serving contains a small amount of caffeine (max. of 3.6 mg). Since one cup of decaffeinated tea contains at least 9 mg of caffeine, the amount of caffeine in this supplement will most likely not induce a stimulating effect.

EGCG contentJan 31, 2011
By M. Goldstein For those interested, the Supplement Facts on the bottle claims 326.25 mg EGCG yield per capsule. Good enough for me.

Not the best decaffeination processNov 12, 2011
By Sirskoal2011 I called the company because my concern is how they decaffeinate their product and I was disappointed that they used some solvent (ethanol in the process) rather than the safer CO2 process. So I ordered ECGC from NOW and its fairly decaffeinated only 4 mg of caffeine and they use the CO2 method. Do your research. I think if you are going to take something for your health then it should not have residues which may be undesirable.

Highly rated -- especially for CLL patientsJul 19, 2011
By R. A. Clapp
"Bob C"
My alternative medicine doc, who is also an MD, recommended this product due to my leukemia. There was a study by the Mayo Clinic of patients with CLL [my form of the disease] and there were some statistical data showing benefits for CLL patients who took a green tea extract -- strength not specified by the Mayo Clinic. I ordered this product as soon as I was diagnosed, and found immediate relief from swolen glands, and night sweats. I contacted the manufacturer, using the info on the label, and they have oncologists as consultants. The response to my question: "how much can I take?" came back as 3 times daily.
Five months later, swelling is minimal, night sweats rare. Doctor says my WBC is stable.... Those results are hard to dispute, in my opinion.
Given the info above -- this is a great product, full of good anti-oxidents, but with some minimally proven benefits for CLL patients, like me.
Shipping was extremely prompt, so I couldn't have asked for more from them.
Five stars!!!

Best price for best green tea extract: vitamindiscountexpressApr 14, 2011
By Hip Hop Bought from vitamindiscountexpress. Fast(2days) and FREE shipping on the lowest price. Been taking this for a couple years. Best green tea supplement I have seen.725mg green tea, 98% poly phenols (710.5), 45% EGCG by HPLC(326.25mg) ,and its decaffeinated. (have no idea about the comment talking about nausea, never had problems like that). My comment is now attached to different sellers with uncompetitive prices.
