EGCG alternative?

I just found out that EGCG has caffeine in it and I was horrified. Caffeine does is NOT good for my mental state or my adrenals. It doesn't' say it has caffeine on the label! I guess it goes without saying but you would think they would let you know. I bought the source naturals brand. I'm going to stop taking it immediately because I've been having some real problems with my adrenals and hormones (missed period, insatiable appetite) but I know it does provide some real benefits as part of the Bartonella protocol. Does anyone have any ideas on what would be a good replacement?

I too have been avoiding caffeine due to the effect on my depleted adrenals - and I'm just now getting them under control, so I'm not fond of the thought of adding caffeine back into my routine, even if it is a small daily amount. Without using the decaf version - which still has some caffeine in it - there are no alternatives that I've found so far. I'm starting Babesia treatments soon, and last time this was a part of what healed me, and it's in Buhner's Babesia protocol as well (which is what I will be using), so I'm not sure what I'll be doing about that either.

I just found this on Tegreen, which seems like a good product (I was hopeful I had found one I could use!) , unless you struggle with adrenal issues:

"Tegreen 97® is considered decaffeinated for labeling purposes. Tegreen 97® contains approximately 1.5 to 2 mg of caffeine per capsule, which is well below the stimulatory level. For comparison, a cup of coffee contains 100 to 150 mg of caffeine."

Decaffeinated does not mean there is no caffeine. Generally there will be like 2 mg per cup compared to 20 mg in the caffeinated type.

If it were me, I would leave this out of my protocol and see how I did. Then later decide if it is worth the risk.

Great info! Thank you all for sharing your knowledge so happily and generously.
