Green Tea EGCG
Natural approach for Cancer Prevention & Support
🌿 About Green Tea EGCG
Epigallocatechin gallate inhibits angiogenesis (blood supply to tumors), induces apoptosis, and prevents metastasis. Population studies show 40-50% reduced cancer risk in heavy green tea drinkers.
✅ Key Benefits
📋 How to Use Green Tea EGCG
Drink 5-10 cups daily or take 400-800mg EGCG extract. Best on empty stomach with vitamin C for absorption.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
High doses may affect liver. Avoid with liver disease. Can interfere with bortezomib.
☠️ Overdose & Toxicity Risks
⚠️ What happens if taken in excess:
High-dose EGCG supplements (>800mg/day) can cause liver damage — cases of acute hepatitis and liver failure have been documented. Excessive green tea extract on an empty stomach increases hepatotoxicity risk. May cause insomnia, anxiety, and GI upset. High doses interfere with iron absorption and may worsen anemia. Can interact with bortezomib chemotherapy.
