Weight control multivitamin and liver damage

Hi everyone,

Back in May, I started taking a multivitamin which contained green tea extract to help boost metabolism. A couple of weeks ago I had some routine bloodwork done and my liver enzymes were through the roof. I've seen some articles online stating that green tea, in excessive amounts, can lead to liver damage. I have stopped taking the multivitamin and I'll be going back for more tests in a couple of weeks to see if the levels drop.

So, those of you who may be taking a supplement with EGCG, or any type of tea extract, you might want to take this into consideration.
