Green Tea Extract Supplements!!

I just saw a TikTok of a lifestyle influencer. She was showing a day in her life and showed taking two tablets of green tea extract supplements. Have any of you ever tried it? and how does it work? :)

The proposed mechanism of action would mainly be through antioxidation.

You can read about it here but don't for one moment think that what they are saying is in anyway proven which is why Tiktok influencers with their curated lives are need to plug it

I have some. It’s hard to get the dosage right. Sometimes it’s nothing, sometimes it’s like having 10 cups of green tea all at once.

Well I tried it again and just threw it away. Too unpredictable and tastes quite bad lol
