The safest dose of green tea extract might be more dangerous than you think

from NutraSift: The nutraceutical innovation podcast · host Siftlink SA

EFSA set an 800mg/day upper limit for EGCG after reviewing hepatotoxicity cases. Some concentrated supplements deliver 400-500mg per capsule. Two capsules and you're above the safety limit. The same ingredient with 10,000+ studies proving benefit also has a documented signal for liver damage at doses that many products comfortably deliver. The therapeutic window is narrower than the market acknowledges.Publications of interest:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32625874/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7009618/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10060436/
