Original post in this thread

Good option besides the powder?

Also, any clues how stable the active components are in extracts with 50% EGCG? I have some left that's a few years past best-by date.

The PAGG (Policosanol, ALA, EGCG, and Garlic) definitely sped up weight loss.

Do you have any thoughts on Policosanol? I know its efficacy is disputed, but Now Foods includes it in its Sytrinol stack:

|Supplement Facts||
:--|:--|
|Serving Size: 1 Veg Capsule||
||Amount Per Serving|
|Chromium (from Chromium Chelavite Amino Acid Chelate)|60 mcg|
|Sytrinol (A Proprietary Blend of a patented extract from citrus (polymethoxylated flavones and palm fruit tocotrienols)|150 mg|
|Milk Thistle Extract (Silybum marianum) (Fruit/Seeds) (Standardized to 40 mg Silymarin Flavonoids - equivalent 80%)|50 mg|
|Alpha Lipoic Acid|50 mg|
|Policosanol (from Sugar Cane)|10 mg|

I had actually never heard of Policosanol. I'll have to read up on it. Where do you see people disputing its efficacy?

⚠️ NEW PRODUCT ALERT | High Potency Milk Thistle Capsules | 200mg of Silymarins from Silybum marianum ⚠️

Replying to iwantmyownname · If you mean percentage of silymarins, you get roughly 40% silymarins in the regular milk thistle powders, (4:1) which comes out at 100mg~ for a 250mg dose This gives double that 2

Also, keep in mind that every single other milk thistle product we tested on the market failed for label claims. They were all universally lower in silymarins than they claimed. Ours is 100% validated at 200mg/capsule wi
