I suggest you google how much you should take. A high dose such as I take supposedly can cause liver damage. To date I don't have a liver problem. I wish I could remember the link to the article that I got the info from where I learnt how much to take but unfortunately I didn't take note of it.

You're right, I respect your advice.
Taking a high dose could lead to liver damage, so I'm keeping my daily intake of EGCG under 800mg.
I hope you're in good health and wish you a good night's sleep.
Thank you,Stuartg!

@stuartg and @lucksuen , I’m wondering if there is a PharmD attached to your hematologist’s practice to give you some guidance. I have asked my hem/onc doctor about supplements and kind of felt like I got the “brush off.” I was persistent, however, and he got the pharmacist attached to the service to give me a call. She was amazing. She went through all my meds with me to check on compatibility and then came up with recommended dosage for the supplements I was considering.
Do you get good information from your physicians?
