Green tea and bio available curcumin are known to display several potential health benefits. The problem is that these compounds have not been completely tested with case studies to prove their benefits without doubt. That will take years to accomplish in my opinion. I think it is possible that some of these purported benefits could be useful for people suffering from PN.

I am more concerned about the potential risks as they are less published due to marketing and hype of these supplements.

My main question is in regard to the chelation process of these items.

1. Both are know to reduce absorption of iron in the body. Is the best solution to take these together separate from the other supplements? Maybe before bed? I take a multi-mineral with a small amount of iron chelate in it.
2. Do these products also absorb calcium, magnesium and other vital minerals? Green tea and curcumin are both purported to help deal with certain types of neurotoxic issues associated with heavy metals by chelating them from the body, but do other essential items get removed as well?
3. Do you think grape seed extract would be a better than using green tea?

That is my main concern. The potential benefits of these items ( especially curcumin) are hard not to ignore.
Thanks!
