Buddha's Herbs Decaffeinated Green Tea Extract - 400mg (50% EGCG) - 200 Veg Capsules for Weight Loss - Independently Laboratory Tested

Great quick shipping and good product. I bought these for health benefits, not weight loss. I have no weight to lose, and currently workout 6 days a week. I do find that these may curb my appetite though, which I'm fine with.My father has a terminal type of leukemia called CLL. Now what I'm about to explain is NOT to be misconstrued as medical advice! He has had it for 5 years now. When diagnosed he went thru multiple tests and finally landed at a specialist for CLL at a major medical university. They type my father has is incurable, and they gave him 5 to 10 years for the type of CLL specific to his genes and such based on his FSH test and bone marrow testing. At the time his WBC count was not crazy high, he had no symposium other than an enlarged spleen and enlarged lymph node in his groin. It was all found at a yearly checkup. The specialist told him no need for chemo or meds at this time. But told him if there was one thing he would do himself is take green tea as the research for it has shown promising. And no, he didn't go to a quack doc. Fast forward 5 years, from June 6th to be exact, and his WBC is lower at 3.7 on average, his RBC distribution width is now in range and the other test that was out of range is closed to range. Also, his spleen upon dx was 2.5 times the Normal size. For the last year it has returned to normal as has the groin lymph node!!! This has all been confirmed by cat scans that he was going thru every 8 months. And lastly because his blood work and symptoms are doing so good, his check ups with his oncologist have moved from every 2 months to now at every 6 months. So THIS is why I take green tea extract. He started it and drinking green tea and taking vitamin c daily since the appt with the CLL specialist. I've read enough to know the claims of ECGC are profound but watching my dad, who's now 61 and works an active job daily, function with a terminal incurable cancer is enough proof for me! Also, he takes regular ones, I take decaf only because I am sensitive to caffeine due to hypothyroidism

If you're looking for Green Tea Extract, this is the ONLY brand that has the proper standardization of 50% EGCG/80% Catechins. In the research that my girlfriend did, these ratios are essential.As far as the product, I expected NOTHING from this supplement. I know green tea is good for you, and is widely accepted and promoted as an excellent source of zillions of things, but what isn't, right? I had taken D3 and fish oil for years, having been told they were amazing for your body, only to have new reports come out debunking a lot of the studies that were done. In other words, I really hate the "supplement" industry.So why did I order this? My girlfriend had been drinking four cups of green tea for the past few years to help keep her white cell count up, and she was tired of drinking so much tea, so she did a ton of research, and decided to order the extract. A few nights later, I came on here to order digestive enzymes or something, and just decided to throw one of these in the cart, too.I started taking them when I got them, but as I said, I expected nothing. You never really FEEL what these "great" supplements are supposed to be doing for you.To give you a little perspective on where I'm coming from, I have major depressive disorder, chronic fatigue, and menopause has been trying to kill me for about three years now. LOL! This past year has been especially difficult with regard to fatigue and depression. Most days I just function. Well, my gf was having trouble with her bed (very long story), and needed to just have the mattress on the floor. I removed the rest of the bed for her. Then she decided to get a new box spring. I carried the box spring in, carried out two CEMENT BLOCKS the bed had been propped up on, vacuumed that area, and set up the "new" bed. We went through several more days of playing with the bed, and one night I stopped and thought, "how am I doing this? Where is this energy coming from, and why haven't I fallen over yet?!" The only thing different was the green tea extract.Will this happen for you? I have no idea. Every BODY is different. But this is the first time I have FELT an effect from ingesting a supplement. And mind you, after SEVEN DAYS of going at a pretty good clip, I am crashing, but that is my brain chemistry not being right. I will recover from the crash, and I'm excited, because I know I'll feel better. I have been stunned by this extract. You don't know me, so you can't understand what seven days of "living" feels like to me. So, thank you, Buddha's Herbs, and the scientists behind this extract.I will close by adding that Buddha's Herbs has incredible customer service. They sent me an email after my purchase that was pretty amazing, and today they actually called to thank me for my five-star customer feedback I had left on the site!! If you do any shopping online at all, you know that 99% of sellers do not email you to thank you for your business. But this company appears to be quite special.If you're on this site looking for a green tea extract, this is the one. Will it affect you like it did me? I have no idea. But I would certainly give it a shot. And forgive me if I sounded like an ad spokesman, I have never felt the need to leave a review on a product before, but this is the first and only supplement I've ever taken that made me feel better. And for that, I am so very thankful.

I purchased this product because it is labeled as being 85-90% catechins, and 50% EGCG. Those were the highest values I saw in a decaffeinated supplement. The research I've read indicates that one of the primary beneficial components of green tea is its catechins, and among those, EGCG is believed to be the most potent. I also wanted a decaffeinated supplement to avoid adverse effects of caffeine.I wanted this product for its cardiovascular and antioxidant benefits, as well as the antiviral properties that have been documented for green tea. I see in the reviews that many folks rely on the supplement to assist with weight loss. I did not buy the product for this purpose, but now that I've been taking the supplement for about 2 months, I do notice that I can be a bit less watchful of what I eat without gaining weight. Maybe this is related to the cholesterol-reducing property that has been reported for green tea extract.These "softgels" are reasonably easy to swallow, though they are a bit larger than a typical capsule.I see that this product is now out of stock. I hope they get more, because this was better than anything else I had found, due to its high level of catechins, etc.

This is my 3rd order of Buddha' Herb green tea extract and it works. I used to take garcinia Cambodia and had good results,however, had muscle aches that kept me awake at night so had to stop. I like this decaffeinated brand. When I took my first dose for the first time, I had slight headaches. I think it was because I was not used to the potency so only took 1 tablet a day for about a week. After this, I increased to 2x/day with no side effects. I was up to 3x/day by week 3. I am now taking 3x/day and it is helping maintain my weight by keeping me full faster during meals. I don't have hunger cravings like I used to and have lots of energy. I am also sensitive to caffeine so this works great. Get it!!

So far, I have seen zero difference. In fact, I have gained 2 pounds!
