Hello, i'm 23 years old and suffer from anemia/heavy blood loss. does green tea have anything to do with heavy blood loss during periods?

In Traditional: Chinese Medicine - it is recommended that green tea not be consumed during menses. It might be a contributing factor - but I would very much doubt that it is a singular cause for your amount of blood loss. Take care.

Green tea: Green tea has shown anti-clotting effects by decreasing levels of fibrinogen, one of the components of the clotting system. However, unless you are drinking massive amounts of green tea, it would be unlikely to affect your periods.
