green tea

[feelnfit]

is there only certain green teas that you should buy that are true green tea. i went to the local international market and got some ginseng green tea. it makes me pee a lot and i only drink 2-3 cups a day. it does have a good taste and i add nothing to it. i usually drink my teas and coffe without sweetners.

Guess it has dieuretic effects. Most tea does to some degree but this sounds
like good stuff.

I drink it daily maybe 2 medium cups a day with 3 tea bags(stronger effect) in each with no sweetners . it also has me running to the bathroom constantly but i would say its benefits(antioxidants) out weighs the runs to the bathroom so its all good

its real good,i do that before the show,but its realy hard to find real good green tea.actualy i was lucky and found it in healt food store,and it did the same thing like yours,but i drink it only before the show,you dont need to loose your water,its harder on your joints and its will make you lose some power.more water is better bro.

very nice read. now with the addition of ginseng will this help ? the brand i am using is beauti-leaf with panax ginseng. the tea is from zhejiang in china if that has anything to do with the quality.

Excellent read

also FeelnFit i wouldn't count on the genseng in tea bags to have a profound affect on you bro.. based on the way you train, eat and recover if its right , you should gain the energy your looking for, but the green tea is a must

Brooklynjuice - how much do you take of the extract daily? Always wondered what the % catechins is (esp. EGCG the most important polyphenol).

[BrooklynJuice]

One extract = 2 perfectly brewed cups (however GT extrract market widened up after ephedra ban and the extracts are getting more and more stronger)

I usually get my 10 cups or equivalent per day. My pills have 90mg ECGC each.

Green tea is now a huge staple in bodybuilders diets and honestly Brooklyn Juice about 4 years ago was the guy bringing it to the forefront of the bodybuilding culture on Animals boards with many many writeups and huge articles. I see people mentioning it all over the place in their diets now but Id like it known that BJ was the guy that really opened up my and everyones eyes to its benefits---I see alot of people saying "DC recommends green tea etc etc".....in their posts....but the truth is that all came from reading what BJ had to say on the subject...its important to me that he get kudos for that
