Concentrated green tea extract, the kind in this product, carries a documented liver-injury signal. The NIH LiverTox database rates Camellia sinensis (green tea extract, EGCG) a Category A cause, meaning well established, of clinically apparent liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure, with onset typically one to six months after starting the product.

This finding is specific to concentrated supplement extracts, not brewed tea as a drink. A 2018 EFSA safety review found that 800 mg or more of EGCG a day from supplements is associated with a statistically significant rise in liver transaminases, the blood markers of liver stress, and that the risk is higher when a concentrated extract is taken as a single large dose on an empty stomach.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Bioperine added?
Bioperine, a black pepper extract, improves the bioavailability of green tea's active compounds, so your body absorbs more of them.
