I would say do your research. Speak to your cardiologist. If they say it’s ok then go for it! Good luck Jim!!!

If your treatment includes VELCADE you can’t take green tea extract or tumeric because it lessens the velcade

Is there a study on green tea extract at 500mg per day for dissolving amyloid deposits?

There is some early-stage research suggesting that green tea extract may help slow down hereditary or wild-type ATTR amyloidosis. However, this research is still in its early phases, and it's not yet clear whether it can actually dissolve existing amyloid deposits. Here's what's important to keep in mind:

- The research has not yet reached full clinical trials, so there isn't strong evidence to confirm the 500mg dosage as effective
- It's unclear whether green tea extract can dissolve deposits that have already formed, versus simply slowing new buildup
- Results from early studies don't always translate to the same outcomes in humans

It's definitely worth bringing up with your doctor, especially regarding the specific dosage. They can help weigh whether it's a safe addition alongside any current treatments. Future clinical trials may give a clearer picture on this one — so watch this space! 🍵
