Please don't do this! EGCG can cause hepatatoxicity and liver failure: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/lt.21021/asset/21021_ftp.pdf;jsessionid=5D

  Obviously this doesn't occur until much higher dosages are taken (unless a genetic anomaly is present, or the batch of EGCG being used is low-quality). That said, you can always take L-Tryptophan rather than 5-HTP. Also, St. John's Wort and 5-HTP have both been clinically proven to be as effective as SSRIs in alleviating/eliminating depression. This makes them the superior choice, as their side effects are much fewer and milder. http://examine.com/supplements/Green+Tea+Catechins/#summary15 http://examine.com/supplements/Green+Tea+Catechins/#summary1...

  Are there studies that there is a realistically reachable level of toxicity just by drinking tea, green or fermented? The latter study doesn't seem to say, and the former link just gives me "Forbidden".
