Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Green tea is good: for health, better than black/red tea, and not as potent as white tea. Two cups daily is fine. EGCG capsules contain the beneficial ingredient in green tea and will provide a larger dose. The tea itself does contain some caffeine so please keep that in mind. Peace and good health.
