Safety & Cautions
Safety evidence
limited human safety evidence and rare case reports
Who should avoid this?
Concentrated EGCG Safety Is Preparation And Dose Specific.
Isolated or concentrated EGCG can cause liver injury, particularly with high-dose or fasting exposure; evidence does not establish a universally safe supplemental dose.
Talk to a healthcare professional if: you have a condition named in this safety summary.

How evidence grades work
Each grade reflects the strength and consistency of published human evidence — not marketing claims. Grades are based on study count, design quality, effect size, consistency, and recency.
A
Strong
Multiple RCTs, consistent direction, adequate effect size
B
Moderate
Some RCTs or consistent observational data in humans
C
Preliminary / Mixed
Animal or in-vitro only, or conflicting human data
D
Traditional / Theoretical
Traditional use only; no controlled human trials
