GTE in general is good for you. Packed full of antioxidants and other goodies.

The H&B brand specifically - I've no idea.

Don't you drink enough chinese tea as it is? You'll be turning green if you aren't careful :eek:

[Su lin]

True :D

I do drink a lot of green tea :D

If you drink a lot of green tea, you probably don't need the suppliments. I would say spend the money for the suppliments on fresh fruit (another great source of antioxidents but with the addition of vitamins, minerals, and taste).

Too much is bad I read somewhere the 2-3 cups you have already is probably enough. I cant remember the side effect.

[Su lin]

Pfft 2-3 cups a day!:D I have 3-4, sometimes 5,plus lots of water and I have noticed any side effects yet.


Unless you consider having sprouted green hair a side effect :D

Su is The Hulk! :eek:

I am, and so can you be if you drink as much green tea as me :p I just get less angry than the hulk as I have way less oxidants and that thanks to the tea :love:

my protein, green tea extract powder, 100g will last you absolutely ages. for instance recommended dose is 100mg 3x daily so pretty much a year. cost under £6.

I've got a tub of this on my desk at work. I'm taking it by mixing it with hot water instead of drinking regular tea. Tastes a bit foul at first, but oddly enough I got used to it pretty quickly. These days I actually like it.
