NOW Supplements, Green Tea Extract 400 mg with Vitamin C for Dietary, Cellular Protection*, 250 Veg Capsules

I use a number of NOW products and they never disappoint. Good product for the price

it simply does NOT have the potency, nor, has any significant visual or physical improvements, as other brands I have previously used..

Now’s Green Tea Extract is not only priced very fair but contains a healthy dose of 400mg’s per tab so u only need 1 per day. It provides a little energy since their is up to 32mg’s of naturally occurring caffeine in each dose. It also provides u with all the benefits of GTE such as cellular protection, helps a bit w/anxiety I noticed since the relaxing amino acid called L-theanine is produced form GTE and also GTE is a very powerful Free Radial Scavenger. There are a lot more benefits as well if U do a bit of research but these are the main one’s I remember. I also take in extra L-Theanine as well to help aid in my anxiety, and it works quite well. I have gone from 6mg’s of Xanax, 4mg’s Klonopin, and 8mg’s Adivan per day to only 2-3mg’s of Klonopin daily!! The doc’s said it would be nearly impossible For me to cut dwn due to my very High anxiety levels, and the fact that I had been on these very addiction drugs for so long!!! The doctors which I worked w/ for over 10yrs. thought I would have to be on very high doses of these Benzodiazepines/tranquilizers my entire life. I found a combo, along w/ nutrition and daily exercise that works great for me and so far, so good. I did have to medically dotox of most these benzo’s since these benzo’s also referred to and Z-drugs and alcohol are the only ones u can die from while in a w/drawl state and seizures are very common while detoxing of them as well! It took me 5mo. to properly tapper off these meds(and it was hell for almost 2mo. and made coming off hard drugs seem like a walk in the park!) but it was worth it as I was taking on av. 6-8times more than someone w/ GAD(general Anxiety disorder) or panic attacks! Now I’m taking a light to norm. dose and have energy to workout, walk my dog, get out of bed(it was that bad some days) and it was w/ the help of GTE and the L-theanine that I was and am able to do this! I also take DMAE and Inositol & choline for concentration, memory aid and as a cognitive enhancing aid as well. With these four supplements along w/ medical detox in the beginning, I was able to get off most all and stay off most all my Anxiety meds as well as the anti-depressant Zoloft for depression that I’ve been on 4 over 10yrs. as well!! My doctors couldn’t believe that I was completely off these meds for 5mo! I did have to get back on a small dose after a while to help calm myself dwn but wow, Im in such a better place. B4 I was fat, lazy, high and tired all day almost and I tried many times to stop both meds on my own only to fail and get very sick and suicidal so I’m very thankful for these supplements and will continue 2 use them and rec. them to anyone w/ or w/o anxiety and/or depression! Good luck everyone and hope this helps U choose which products are the best for U to buy and try out! Good luck and Stay strong and healthy in the mind and ur body is sure to follow! Chris B-

Long story short I had/have prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) and my doctor prescribed a anti-biotic along with recommending that I take a vitamin high in Sylenium and Licopene, which I had already been doing for well over a year before being diagnosed by taking a mutli-vitamin supplemental. Additionally my Doctor recommended abstaining from red wine, beer and spicy food (now I must confess this I did not do very well, who can?)

After the antibiotics were used up the symptoms lessoned but did not entirely go away. My PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level was constant (no increase or decrease) but the Dr. said to just monitor it every year or so and continue taking a multi-vitamin on a daily basis.

After reading many online stories of others with Prostatitis, some articles suggested that taking an anti-oxident (like Green Tea Extract) could make things much more comfortable by reducing the inflamation effect. Armed with that knowledge I decided to give it a shot and bought two bottles of this product and three weeks later my protstatis syptoms significantly decreased. Upon my annual checkup with my Doctor I mentioned to him that I continued to take a multi-vitamin and in addition to that Green Tea Extract as well and told him my results. He told me that taking any anti-oxidents is highly recommended and he recommended that I continue taking the Green Tea Extract.

Fast forward, I still take my other multi-vitamin and when I ran out of this product for one week I noticed that my prostatitis was coming back…As soon as I started taking it again the symptons went away almost immediately.

Currently I am taking 1 pill a day but may up it to 2 pills a day like someone else recommended. I take mine currently in the morning..If I take it in the evening I am not able to go to sleep on time.

I am not saying that this pill will cure your prostatitis but for me it helped make life a LOT more comfortable plus its an all natural product which scored bonus points with me.

I will say that over the course of 1 year when I started to taking this product I have lost 30 lbs…But I don’t know if that was due to changing my eating habits (eating healthier now) or if Green Tea Extract was the main cuprit. Physically speaking, I have done about the same amount of excercise over that time (pretty active).

Either way, since taking this product I feel much better, have more energy, much more focused and alert than I was before and most of all no, or very little, symptoms of Prostatitis.

Try a bottle and give yourself a few weeks before passing judgement on this product, be it for weightloss, overall well-being or lessoning inflamation effects.

Cheers!

Ok so I was sketchy on this stuff and purchased it from Amazon since its the overall best deal around. Read the reviews on this site and Bodybuilder forum and thought its worth a shot. This stuff is the dirty cheap and actually works! I work out 3 times a week and cardio in between adn have some what of a good diet. I stay away from bad carbs and the junk drive through fast foods. I am 5-8″ and weighed in at 158lbs and dropped down to 150lbs. ITs been about a 1 month and 3 weeks since I started this stuff and I am on my second bottle. I also took off 1.5 inches off my waist, down to a 33.5 inches in waist. I used this for leaning out and get body fat down, and oh my goodness does this stuff AMP you up!… Stay way from takin non natural caffeine in excess when droppin this stuff, make your head pop off! LOL… I take one in the morning with my oatmeal and then drop another one after a sensible lunch (tuna sammy), I do not take one past 5pm or else I cannot go to bed. Lots of energy through out the day, by any means is this a miracle pill, but does increase your chances or gives a lil kick to drop some LBS along with regular workouts and good eating habits. I would highly recommend this stuff and its worth a shot and cant beat the price!
