NOW Foods Supplements, EGCg Green Tea Extract 400 mg, Free Radical Scavenger*, 90 Veg Capsules

Good quality and price

At 52, I spent my first year out of college living in Japan. I learned to appreciate good green tea and the health benefits that it would provide. Ever since then I have used a green tea extract and particularly, this brand and this version for 10 years. I'll be cautious to overly impart every benefit I'm about to state to the green tea but I am very clear on a few. Taking a multivitamin regimen daily for several decades, the single time I swapped out this brand for a different one, was when gray hair began, only a few sprouts mind you but I am multiple years older than my brother, and have 2% Gray hair versus 100% on him. Additionally as a free radical scavenger, at 52 I would say I'm in the best shape of my life with a low body fat index and commonly commented as looking younger for my age. Of course this is a combination of multiple lifestyle components and genetics, and not just taking a magic pill, but having used this as long as I have, it is a daily go-to for life.

Great product at a great price! I use it for overall health benefits.

Good deal!

This EGCg supplement is a total game changer for me 💊 I’ve got more energy, better focus, and it even helps keep my cravings in check 🍵 I didn’t expect to notice such a difference, but wow 🤩 it really works! Super easy to take, no weird side effects ✅ Definitely adding this to my daily routine. Im about to buy a second bottle to keep at work 🏃‍♂️ Highly recommend if you need a little boost without the jitters ⚡

Studies have found that EGCG - which is the component of green tea that is largely responsible for all the amazing anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-Alzheimer's benefits - is very poorly absorbed. In fact, if you take it with a protein-containing food (especially one that contains the amino acid proline, which is really high in dairy), it pretty much negates all its benefits as it keeps your body from absorbing it. I'm a nutrition student and am in the middle of writing a report/scouring the journals for information on EGCG. Current research shows that it is best taken first thing in the morning, after fasting all night, with 1000 mg of high quality fish oil from salmon, 200 mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and AWAY from protein. I love this product because it's incredibly cheap, has a high amount of EGCG and some vitamin C, though I also take it with citrus bioflavanoids for some extra C. Sometimes I'll take it at the same time I'm eating an orange or a little fat, but always away from protein. If it makes you nauseous, start with one pill and some fruit. Rarely do I take more than one at a time. Side note: it's likely the small amount of caffeine that's responsible for the nausea. If you tolerate caffeine/black coffee or tea well, you're unlikely to have issues with this.

does It Work? Honestly, I'm Not Sure I'd give this NOW Foods EGCg Green Tea Extract a fair 3 stars simply because after taking it consistently I genuinely can't say with confidence whether it's doing anything noticeable for me or not. The capsules are easy to swallow, the 400mg dose per capsule is a commonly recommended amount, and NOW Foods is a reputable supplement brand that I trust in terms of quality and purity standards—so from a basic product quality standpoint there are no complaints. The veg capsule format is a plus for those mindful of what they're consuming. But when it comes to the actual free radical scavenging and antioxidant benefits, I have no reliable way to measure or feel whether it's working. There's no noticeable daily difference I can point to and directly attribute to this supplement, which leaves me in the same uncertain territory I find myself with many supplements—taking it on faith that the science supports the benefit even when the results aren't tangible day to day. If you're looking for a reputable brand at a fair price for green tea extract supplementation, NOW Foods is a solid choice. Just go in with realistic expectations that the benefits, if they're happening, are working quietly in the background rather than delivering any obvious noticeable effects.

Exactly as described, fast shipping.

はっきり言えますが、自分はこれを加えてから、確実に減量にスピードが増していってる。 ミオスタチンを阻害してるのかは分からないですが、妙に筋肉が張ります。 あと体臭が減った気がして、発汗時に香る制汗剤の香りがクリアになってます。 自分は体感めちゃくちゃあります。 ちなみにAmazonの方がi◯erbより安いです。

I would not recommend taking Green Tea Extract ever to anyone. I took just one tab in the morning and worked out in the morning for a week. Whenever I took GTE, that night I would be half asleep and half awake. I've read reviews where people found GTE beneficial. May be the effect varies and is not suitable for everyone.

Looks OK. Hope it is authentic.

Good product
