When talking about healthy drinks, they are often called green tea. However, in too large quantities, this drink can damage the liver, causing malfunctions of this organ up to liver failure.

Dr. Herbert Bonkovsky (Herbert Bonkovsky) explained this by the presence of caffeine in green tea. The amount of this substance can vary depending on the variety and method of preparation, however, with excessive consumption of green tea, the liver can suffer from excess caffeine.

The doctor urged to get rid of mistakes regarding products that are considered healthy and dietary, stressing that this the status does not make them absolutely safe.

The fact that the use of herbs and green tea is not subject to legislative regulation in many countries of the world is of particular concern to experts. As a result, supplement manufacturers actively use green tea extract in their products, promoting them as effective and safe.

However, this is not always the case. One of the studies confirmed the hepatotoxicity (the ability to cause structural and functional disorders of the liver by non-mechanical means) of excessive consumption of green tea on the example of a man who used weight loss supplements with an extract of this plant.

Experts recommend drinking no more than three cups of green tea per day, and if a person uses supplements with green tea extract, this dose should be reduced.
