Mega Green Tea Extract (Decaffeinated) 100 vegetarian capsules.

Animal studies have shown that epigallocatechins, in particular, may have a role in preventing diabetes (Crespy V et al 2004). This process could help slow the progression of type 1 diabetes. In vitro studies have also shown that green tea suppresses diet-induced obesity (Murase T et al 2002), a key risk factor in developing diabetes and metabolic syndrome (Hung PF et al 2005).

Caution:

• Consult your doctor before taking green tea extract if you take aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin). Taking green tea extract and aspirin or warfarin can increase the risk of bleeding.
• Discontinue using green tea extract 2 weeks before any surgical procedure. Green tea extract may decrease platelet aggregation.
• Green tea extract contains caffeine, which may produce a variety of symptoms including restlessness, nausea, headache, muscle tension, sleep disturbances, and rapid heartbeat.
