Doubts about EGCG
Original post in this thread
faxmulder · 15 points
Hi guys,
I'd like to take EGCG for dropping a few pounds (I've started also exercising) but I have a few questions:
1) Should I take it on empty stomach or after meals?
2) I've read that it could theoretically damage the liver (IIRC also kidneys). However I've seen that, at a dosage of one tablet a day, that should be safe. Can you confirm?
3) Does it combine well with caffeine? I usually drink also a cup of black or white tea a day? Would it be safe to take also EGCG?
4) Can I stack EGCG with Tribulus, creatine or C3G?
5) Does it help also with hay fever or other high histamine symptoms?
Hope that also /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb and /u/Pretty-Chill would chime in!
Thanks a LOT!

I take our EGCG tablets every day. I take reduced glutathione with it to support the liver, and some days take our low silychristin milk thistle
1) Empty stomach
2) Very very rare, but you can take other supplements to support the liver with it.
3) Yes, it combines very well if you want more stimulation.
4) Absolutely
5) I have not noticed that effect. I find quercetin works better for that. I take our quercetin phytosome every morning with the EGCG.
