My selection of supplements is based on successful use of these supplements on rats. I am fully aware that humans are not rats and clinical trials are necessary to establish efficiency and correct dose.
At the end of the day I hope against hope that money is not thrown down the drain and these supplements may be supporting my general health and boosting my hopes as a good placebo should.
I may add that many times, I have thought of quitting supplements because they may pose a hazard, but simply couldn't. I could not afford loosing the placebo element. |
Hello, Reverett123!
It's been a while. I've been taking green tea extract twce daily for well over 5 yrs. I take it in capsule form. Unfortunately, I have seen no signs, for better or worse, in all that time. I continue to take it under the notion that ,based on everything I have read, it is safe, cannot hurt you and may help. Perhaps this is foolish decision making, but as I'm sure you understand, I am desparate for any alleviation of all our wonderful symptoms and side effects. So, my conclusion on green tea extract is: It (probably)can't hurt you and may help. I hope this was of some help. All the best, KEITH
