Green Tea Tablets
I have a bottle and it says each tablet is eq. to green tea leaf 13.6g (13,800mg).
1 tablet daily. I have been taking just half a tablet, do you think this is still too much to be having daily?
ETA: Does dh take these too?

DH shouldn't take Green Tea as it contains phytoestrogens and they can raise estrogen.

I don't think DH drinking green tea, even every day, can sway that much, so don't worry TTC.

Good info thank you!
I did want to let you guys know that phytoestrogens are a confusing thing with a lot of unknowns (soy is a phytoestrogen) because it's not at all clear if they really raise estrogen at all or LOWER it by competing with your body's natural estrogen and also tricking your body into making less estrogen.
I drank green tea a lot before I TTC DS 3 and so did DH so I know that it's not a magic bullet either way but just sharing the infop.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Atomic, I have a q: why we should stop Green tea in 2WW ( or it was once we get BFP ) Is it because of spina bifida?
My sister was drinking Green Tea before getting pg ( she wasn't swaying, she drank it for its health benefits) and kept drinking it throughout the whole pregnancy and of course took FA but only 400mcg daily and she had healthy baby boy ( she always wanted a daughter btw )
Do you think 1 cup daily maybe safe? I know my sister's experience doesn't have universal significance lol!
TTC 5, I've googled a bit and it seems 1cup of green tea provides 10-50 mg of polyphenols and other benefit substances and I've found Green Tea tablets online with maximum dosage of 500mg. So I have no idea are that high dosage like your tbl safe?m/c 2001
