Overview
•Hepatotoxicity risk is dose- and form-dependent; bolus doses above ~338 mg EGCG/day increase liver enzyme concerns in some individuals.
•Concentrated solid extracts carry higher risk than brewed tea or divided beverage doses; observed safe level up to 704 mg/day in divided beverage form.
•Evidence limited on long-term use above 300-400 mg/day EGCG for metabolic or cancer-preventive outcomes.
•Potential interaction with medications metabolized by CYP enzymes; limited data on specific drug-EGCG pairs at this dose.
•Pregnancy and breastfeeding: insufficient human safety data; avoid concentrated extracts.
