Inside this capsule
This capsule
Green Tea Extract
50% EGCG catechins · 400 mg
One ingredient. The dose on the label is the dose in your hand, and the lot number traces it back to one supplier: Taiyo (Sunphenon).
A typical blend capsule
ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?…
“Proprietary blend, 1,200 mg” — many names, one number, no way to know how much of anything you took, or what competes with what inside.
On the evidence
Human data is mixed; graded moderate. A support alongside diet and activity, not a weight-loss product.
Where it sits on our scale
Traditional use
Long use, thin trials — we say so
● Moderate evidence
Human trials, small or mixed
Strong evidence
Repeated randomised human trials
Every ingredient in the catalogue carries one of these three grades — including the ones we grade down. A scale you never see the bottom of is not a scale.
When you’d notice
Set by how long the trials ran
From 8 weeks → settles by 12 weeks
day 11w2w4w8w12w26w
Small effects measured over months — and it competes with iron, so timing matters more than speed.
Source: Body-composition trials run 8–12 weeks
Take it with / keep it apart
Single ingredients let timing work for you — blends lock everything into one swallow.
◐ Keep apart from Iron
Green-tea catechins (tannins) bind non-heme iron in the gut and block its uptake. → Keep EGCG at least 2 hours away from the iron dose. (NIH ODS Iron Fact Sheet (inhibitors of non-heme iron))

- ★★★★★Doing what it should
Three weeks in, part of my evening routine now. One star off because the outer box arrived slightly dented — contents were fine though.

- ★★★★★Halal filter works properly
The bot removed the gelatin softgel from my set without me asking and told me why. That's the kind of detail that makes me trust a store. Delivery to KL took 6 days.

- ★★★★★No mystery, no drama
The page told me honestly the evidence is moderate, not strong. Weirdly that's what sold me — a shop that grades its own products down feels safe to buy from.

- ★★★★★The molecular panel won me over
I'm a chemistry teacher. Seeing the actual structure and CAS number on the product page instead of stock photos of leaves — that's how you sell to people like me.
