Early stage. No treatment. I asked about EGCG and the Mayo Clinic trial -- she said "yes" I could take the supplements. I need guidance re safe supplements/products and dosage. I see 1800 mg but same lists 200mg EGCG -- kinda confusing.

Can you provide any guidance on the over the counter supplements that align with those used in the Mayo trial?

Thank you -- m.

Hi @mmpopovich I encourage you to read this discussion that I’m posting below regarding EGCG and the comments posted by other members. There are potential side effects to taking this product and members on Connect cannot prescribe medications or supplements.

If your oncologist said it was ok to take the supplements, did she give you a dosage suggestion?
