Actually, from the extracts I've seen (although I've only looked @ two, so take that for what it's worth), it seems that 1g of extract is only equivalent to about five cups of tea in terms of polyphenol & catechin content...

I did the math on the Avant board about 5 months ago. I think the name of the thread was "Green Tea" and I think I remember calculating it to being in the teens for number of cups to be the equivalent. - Fletch |

Here's the link to the official "Green Tea" thread on Avant.... http://forum.avantlabs.com/?act=ST&f=1&t=3799 and here's my post in reply to Spook's recommended beneficial dosage and Dante's findings...

I read somewhere that each cup is 100 mg EGCG.. in any case, even with 50 mg that would make 1 gram of the extract about the same as 4 cups... for 600 mg/day you'd need 3 grams. I take 1000 mg EGCG daily...

Ted, thanks for the link.
I got some, and I've been capping it myself, can usually get around 350-400mgs in each OO gelatin cap. Read that Spook recommended ~600mg/day of EGCG for fat loss. That would be almost 3.3grs per day of GT Extract or like Ted said, 15 cups. -------------------- "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." - Socrates -

Not all cups of green tea are alike. If you boil loose leaves you get a very concentrated solution that is significantly more yellow and cloudy than if you put a tea bag in hot water.
The most I've ever consumed at one time was 6-8 cups of really concentrated green tea. It made me a bit naseus, and noticeably changed my mental state. I havent tried any extracts yet. |
