Lotus -

What green tea extract do yourecommend. To date, I've been relying on a couple of cups of brewed tea per day but cannot tell if it has any effect.

Also, what is a "pro-hormone?" I think I have the other bases covered, which leaves me perpetually at second base.

Hi spanky,

I don't have a brand yet, but it's going to be more like 8-12 cups per day according to the research (see below). However, the bio-availability of GTE is long: 1 μg/mL inhibits cancer cell growth for 96 hours. Given enough time (lol) I'll find that GTE is an CYP 17 inhibitor, if it isn't, it should be. I'd go for GTE in pill form, I don't think I could do 8-12 cups. Maybe a combination of liquids/capsules.

Anyways, we'd be looking for a GTE @ 80% polyphenols.....,I've seen them out there, I'm guessing $20-30?.....the cost savings?, priceless in my mind, in other words GTE benefits reaches far beyond our purpose for NBE. (See study below)
