Research shows that adding citric acid to catechin can increase its astringency, but this doesn't appear to have any significant effects on the body. Taking catechin and citric acid together seems to be safe for most people. No mechanism of interaction was identified. The increased astringency is likely due to the chemical properties of the compounds, but this doesn't seem to affect human health.
