I called specialty pharmacy which sends vyndamax to determine if green tea extract was compatible. Was informed that there were no contraindications. Thank you for the information that you forwarded.

AI answer seems spot on I discussed the value of drinking green tea with my cardiologist and he said it wouldn’t be a problem but I haven’t asked about using supplements. I first read about it here. He said there isn’t enough data to confirm benefits.

Green tea extract has caught the attention of researchers in the amyloidosis world! One study suggested it may help slow down hereditary or wild-type amyloidosis. However, this research is still in its early stages.

The idea is that certain compounds in green tea extract might interfere with the buildup of amyloid proteins in the body. That said, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to make firm recommendations.

A few important things to keep in mind:

- Clinical trials are still needed to confirm whether green tea extract truly helps
- It's not a replacement for prescribed treatments
- Always talk to your doctor before adding any supplement to your routine, as it could interact with medications

The science is promising but not conclusive just yet. Hopefully more research will shed clearer light on this soon!
