I have a few questions regarding green tea supplements I'd like to list:
1. Does anyone here take a green tea supplement?
2. Are green tea's actions as a COMT inhibitor potentially dangerous alone or contraindicated with other meds?
3. I realize it's probably better to get the catechin antioxidants from the tea directly, but have read that you need approximately 10 cups to get significant health benefits. Too much for me. So is it safe to take a supplement that contains 315 mg EGCG/pill at a rate of 3/day?
4. If taking high dose green tea, should one eat a lot of yogurt to maintain the balance of colonic flora?
Thanks...Peace...Saturn.
