Casein may reduce Epigallocatechin Gallate's effectiveness
Reduced EGCG bioavailability
Detailed Analysis
Taking casein, a milk protein, with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol in green tea, may decrease EGCG's bioavailability or activity. This could potentially reduce the benefits of EGCG. However, the effect is considered mild. Casein may bind to EGCG, potentially reducing its absorption or activity. This binding is a common issue with polyphenols and proteins. As a result, the effectiveness of EGCG might be decreased when taken with casein.
