A member asked:
Is it alright to use green tea pills or pills that speed up metabolism when you have graves' disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
not a good idea: Why would you want to speed up your metabolism any more than it already is from graves disease? That being said, green tea will not do much, unless it is heavily adulterated with phentermine, caffeine, or other stimulants. Enjoy a cup of green tea if you wish, but don't take supplements.
