Green Tea Extract (EGCG) and Green Tea Extract (EGCG): dosage and how to take it
Each entry’s own grades, side by side. A grade says how strong the evidence is for one outcome — it does not rank one entry over the other.

Green Tea Extract (EGCG)
Modest metabolic and cardiovascular benefits from catechins — and a real, if uncommon, liver-toxicity signal at high concentrated doses.
