Life Extension Decaffeinated Mega Green Tea Extract – Polyphenol-Rich, Cell Health, Heart Health, Brain Health, Antioxidant Protection – Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian – 100 Capsules

I wrote this review and then realized I forgot to directly mention two things.First, when you have to go you must go immediately or you seriously risk public and private ridicule. This stuff does it's job very well.Second, I was worried that this product might keep me awake but I've slept reasonably well since I began using it.Now on with my review...I've been over weight for at least the past year or so, I am 6' with a small frame and weighed 220 on 9/13/13. I looked to be about six months pregnant. lol!! Not good! Anyway, I have a trip home coming up in a few days and decided to lose as much weight as I possibly could during the six, or so, weeks prior to my trip. I cut my caloric intake down to no more than 1,200-1500 per day. I eat only low fat, high protein and fiber foods. I drink only water and other zero calorie beverages. I also, started taking vitamins and iron. I've gone to the gym just about every day for the past month and a half.(I hadn't set foot in a gym in many years. It wasn't fun at first.) With this regimen in mind,, I was already losing weight at a reasonable pace but felt like I could use something to give my metabolism a boost. I am not a fan of supplements and such but considering my time constraints I decided to research green tea extract. I did some research online and read reviews of various products. I decided to try Life Extension Mega Green Tea Extract and I'm glad I did. This product works very well. It works almost to well, in fact. During the first two or three days of use I "visited" the toilet at least 3 times per day. My bathroom time was quite productive to say the least, I was amazed at the volume of waste I had been carrying around. After the first few days my body leveled off. Still, since then, I "visit" the toilet at least twice a day. Before I included Mega Green Tea Extract in my daily routine I was losing weight at approximately 3-4 pounds a week. With Mega Green Tea Extract added into the mix I have been losing anywhere from half a pound to two pounds a day depending on what I eat, whether I decide to drink a few beers and whether I make it to the gym the next day. Busting your butt on the treadmill for an hour is definitely not a fun thing to do with a hangover, but I've done it. Luckily I didn't fall on my face. By the way, I walk on the treadmill for an hour per day at increasing speed up to 3.8 mph and constantly raise the incline until the my hour is up. I also ride the stationary bike for one hour. As of 9/13/13 I was 220. Today is 10/19/13 and I currently weigh 195. I have 8 workout days left before my trip and will lose at least another 5 pounds (probably more) before leaving thanks in part to Mega Green Tea Extract. Excellent product!!

I'm 46 and I've been struggling with losing weight, specifically belly fat. I've been pretty skinny up until about a few years ago, but mid-40s are no joke - I gained 30 pounds in a short period. I'm active but that didn't change anything lately, however the green tea extract brought my weight down to 144.4 from 150.6 in a week. Pretty impressive considering that this is the only change I implemented recently and nothing else (not even HIIT) changed my weight and I've been doing that consistently for over a year now. I had zero stomach issues, I take it in the morning w my coffee.

Effective and great health benefits each time using this product and easy to swallow if you don’t have issues with slightly big capsules. Plus never upsets my stomach which is a plus!

In trying to tweak my supplement stack, I was started getting unusually & violently nauseous. I removed the new supplements and added them back one at a time, quickly realizing that it was this 1 that was making me get sick. That could just be me but I tend to have pretty average responses to supplements. I'm not saying don't buy it, this is a great company with reliable quality when it comes to supplements. I'm just saying if you start feeling sick (even when taking with food, as I did) pretty quickly after taking your dailies, this might be it.

Had an abnormal pap (HPV, ASCUS in 8/2012 and LGSIL in 2/2013),I used this in conjunction with Nature's way DIM-Plus, Vitamin C, Host Defense Turkey tails for immune system, rainbow light multi-vitamins, also upped folate, B-12, and b complex intake(also by life extension and RAW vitamin code). Also changed eating habits (no processed, microwave foods, drank much more water, ate much more green vegatables, fruits, made green smoothies, cut way back on the sweets, sugar, and alcohol (but in the summer of 2014 I did drink occasionally) started exercising at gym 3 times a week or just going for a walk, reduced stress, avoided constantly negative people, tv shows, internet crap etc, got out in nature more, read better books, released negative emotions through journaling, therapy and expressing to people more when they were pushing my buttons, to sum it up, I pretty much practiced self-care (and often times not perfectly but still tried) and in Dec 2014 my pap was normal, no HPV, I also was fortunate that I didn't have the strain of 16 and 18 which is more difficult to get rid of. This also helped me lose weight by boosting my metabolism, but that works when you change your eating and exercise more.A close friend of mine also had this and she stopped smoking (had been for years) I also read there was a link between using birth control too (had to do with the hormones and immune suppression).I know we are all different but I say at least try, fight it, I was scared but I fought it. Don't let your doctor tell you there is nothing you can do, I even had to switch doctors (went to an osteopathic doctor who looks patient as a whole person with body functions that work together rather than a medical doctor who just treats symptoms), and do research, I've read so many positive stories on the internet about women who were further along in the HPV cervical cancer process and made changes that led to recovery, stay positive!

I purchased this product and took it yesterday as directed. Shortly after, I experienced extreme nausea and severe chest pains throughout the day. I’ve never had issues with green tea before, so I’m skeptical that this product is truly decaffeinated. Unfortunately, I’m unable to return it.
