In recent years, the uses of herbal products have increased significantly. Unfortunately, with the use of these used herbal products, an increase in number of reported adverse effects were seen. Green tea is made from steaming of the Camellia sinensis plant. The catechins in green tea consist of epicatechin (EC), epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (GCG), and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). They are responsible for green tea advantages like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, and antimicrobial activity. Despite these benefits, recently there have been several research that demonstrate several disadvantages and adverse effects following the consumption of a high dose of green tea extract which can lead to undesirable side effects like: Gastrointestinal disturbance and liver hepatotoxicity, nervous system stimulation, cardiovascular problems, disrupts renal function, interferences with some medications, impair thyroid function, iron deficiency anemia, hypokalemia, birth defects, and infertility. It is better to limit the green tea consumption to not more than two to three cups per day. Daily taking of too much green tea extract may have many side effects.
