Truth About Green Tea Side Effects

By Sean Anderson


There are many reports regarding the benefits of tea. It is true that green tea is a healthy drink, however there are side effects associated with it.

Whenever we are speaking about side effects related to supplements, we must pay close attention to the amount we intake. Many unwanted effects are closely related to the amount you intake and tea is not an exception.

The substances in tea are catechins specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). So how much is the ideal every day serving of EGCG?

There were successful short term studies with daily dosage of 800 mg of EGCG. Single cup of green tea has about 100mg of EGCG, so that is about 8 cups of tea. If your main objective of consuming tea is to lose weight, a lot of experiments suggest more EGCG will mean more fat loss.

A lot of specialists also agree that large serving of isolated substances from herb plants could be problematic. It is difficult to reach an absolute conclusion based upon laboratory studies, but many scientists are saying 300mg of EGCG is the best dosage to take on a daily basis. There have already been successful lab reports with dosage of 300mg against cancer cells and losing weight.

Now if you're planning on taking tea as a capsule form, be sure you look into the fine prints to understand how much catechins it contains. Some tea products will display the complete milligrams along with the percentage of EGCG. Be sure that the percentage results in around 300 to 400mg.

One particular ingredient of tea you'll want to take into account when deciding how much you would like to consume the tea is caffeine. A cup of green tea comes with around 20-40mg of caffeine. That's not a whole lot in comparison to coffee which is usually above 100mg a cup. But it is really important that you know your daily entire amount of caffeine, because you could be already having a large amount of caffeine from other beverages.

Most health experts will agree that greater than daily serving of 500mg could be damaging. It could cause: irritability, stomach upset, fast heartbeat, muscle tremors, insomnia, nervousness and restlessness. Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others, but 300mg or less is considered a good amount.

You can find actually more reports of benefits than negative effects about tea. So long as you consume it based on the guideline we discussed, you shouldn't have any problems.
