Green Tea - Even The Best Natural Remedy Has Side Effects

By Roger Flynn


Many novice tea drinkers know the health rewards, however only a few truly understand the negative results related to tea. It is very important to be aware of the negative effects to be able to experience the green tea without having unintended results.

Whenever we are discussing side effects related to capsules, we must be aware of how much we take. Numerous side effects are directly associated to the amount you take and tea is not an exception.

The ingredients in green tea are catechins specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). So exactly how much is the ideal every day dosage of EGCG?

There have been successful short term studies with every day dose of 800 mg of EGCG. Single cup of tea has about 100mg of EGCG, so that is around 8 cups of tea. If your main goal of consuming tea is to shed weight, many experiments suggest more EGCG results in more fat loss.

Many health specialists also agree that large amount of isolated substances from herb plants is usually problematic. It is not easy to come to a definite conclusion based upon lab experiments, but a lot of health researchers are saying 300mg of EGCG is the ideal dosage to consume on an every day basis. There have actually been successful lab experiments with dosage of 300mg against cancers and weight loss.

If you are considering taking green tea as a capsule form, be sure you look into the fine prints to understand exactly how much catechins it contains. Some products will show the complete milligrams along with the percentage of EGCG. Ensure that the percentage results in about 300 to 400mg.

One particular substance of green tea you should consider when deciding the amount you want to consume the tea is caffeine. A cup of tea has about 20-40mg of caffeine. That's nothing in comparison to coffee which is usually above 100mg a cup. But it's really important that you know your daily overall amount of caffeine, because you might be already drinking a lot of caffeine from other drinks.

A lot of nutrition experts warn that over 500mg of caffeine on a daily basis could be unsafe. It could cause: insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, stomach upset, fast heartbeat and muscle tremors. Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than other people, but 300mg or less is regarded as a good amount.

There are actually more reports of benefits than unwanted effects about green tea. As long as you consume it using the guideline we discussed, you should be okay.
