Life ExtensionDecaffeinated 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 take it first thing in the morning with my gym supplements together before the gym. Works good for me and stomach does not get upset. Its easier than drinking the tea. One less tea to drink daily. People have to realize that what's good for me may not be good for you. Its that simple.

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!

So, I drink green tea with honey that I brew myself, and it’s about all I drink after cutting out soda and sweet fruit drinks. I noticed that when I take this on an empty stomach I feel really nauseous 🤢 and have even thrown up. On a full stomach or at least with some food, I have no issues. I do feel a difference with his supplement. After just a few weeks I notice I have more energy, and am having more regular movements. The capsules are about the same as every other pill, or capsules I take. They are tasteless, and easy to swallow. If you have researched the benefits of green tea, then you already know it’s beneficial for a lot of things like immune, vascular, heart, and other things. It’s priced fairly I think, and if you want to try to improve your health, it’s worth it.

You will go to the bathroom makes my stomach feel better

I'll skip giving any testimonials, but I've been a fan of green tea for several years because of its touted health benefits, and the more gentle caffeine lift compared to coffee. I'm quite sensitive to caffeine, so it can be a bit like walking a tightrope between a lift and those nasty jitters.Some have reported this product leading to nausea. Of the several times the I've taken it on a completely empty stomach, only once have I experienced getting nauseous. So basically a 20-to-1 ratio of good to not good.One thing that I did seem to notice is that this product is not 100% without caffeine. I made the mistake of taking it in the evening, and then hours later couldn't fall asleep. So that's just something to be aware of. Take it before noon, and with some food. With lunch would be perfect.So far, I like this product very much.5 STARS

The pills are huge compared to a similar product I used to buy, and I don't see why they need to be that big. Is it because of the rice ingredient? Last egcg I bought told you to never take it on an empty stomach, this one tells you to take it specifically on an empty stomach. I'm guessing the rice helps you to digest it without giving you an upset stomach? Either way, I've just learned that I now have an allergy to rice, and I want the other brand back instead of this, but they removed it from Amazon. I'm searching for some green tea extract that's decaffeinated, without rice, standardized, and organic or without fillers. But no, Amazon thinks this is the best option when I search for exactly that, and no it is not the best option below the sponsors, but it's sadly a close second. It's just so disappointing, both Amazon search and this 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.
