Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / March 2005More About Green Tea
The following extract is taken from a pamphlet that was given to me by a local herborist during my last visit to his store. "There is now a mass of evidence showing very powerful protective and therapeutic effects of green tea against cancer and other diseases. But the key to the Green's Tea protective and therapeutic effect resides in the amount of the main active ingredient, EGCG. The problem is that drinking even 10 cups of green tea per day found in stores, doesn't yield much EGCG. The amount of EGCG that has produced the spectacular results in cancer has been 800-1500 mg per day. Most capsules have only 30-70 mg of EGCG per capsule- far less than what is needed for real benefits. And tea is only a fraction of the potency of capsules" The capsules I am taking contain 315 mg of the active ingredient. Taking 3 of them a day would match the amount used in the succesful studies. They are called EGCG MAX and are made by the Canadian company AOR. Cost is $29 for 90 capsules just in case someone is interested.

What if you take 3? They don't say. Could you contact them and find out? http://www.aor.ca/proddetail.asp?prod_id=190 Mike > > The capsules I am taking contain 315 mg of the active ingredient. > > Taking 3 of them a day would match the amount used in the succesful [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > http://www.aor.ca/proddetail.asp?prod_id=190 I had checked it out myself and the "safe at 1 capsule daily" is for Pregnant or Nursing Women. I don't think Fernando qualifies......LOL. 3/day is the recommended dosage. Cheers......Heather > > The capsules I am taking contain 315 mg of the active ingredient. > > Taking 3 of them a day would match the amount used in the succesful [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Mike The adult dosage in the container's label recomend the three daily capsules.

Then maybe their web site needs updating, or perhaps the stuff is safe at any level. Is this stuff good for someone like me who already has PCa?

The 1 capsule limit is during pregnancy/nursing, which I guess doesn't apply to PCa...
