Dear Boocat, I have CLL and want to take the EGCG. I have read somewhere that the amount EGCG in this Mayo clinic experiment per day is 2 times 2 gram. Is that correct? and where can I get such high concentrate EGCG? Hope to hear from you. Kind regards Sandra

I was on the Mayo study in 2007-08. Maximum dose was 2g twice a day. However many participants (including me) experienced elevated liver enzymes and required multiple dose reductions. Don’t fool yourself that massive amounts of ECGC are safe. If you find it in health stores or online, be sure to have regular blood work done to avoid unintended side effects.
