I'm a real green tea enthusiast, so I'm really appreciating your interest. We also have a whole thread dedicated to specifically green tea, if you haven's seen it yet:

Anybody drinking green tea for weight loss?

There's some other tips in that thread as well. But your vanilla extract idea sounds like a definite winner!
I have been drinking it about 2 months. About two mugs p/day. I think I'll try different brands for taste. I 'steep' 3-5 minutes.

Thanks for the links,...I'm going to try cinnamon, for a flavor change.
I'm not expecting miracles but I'll take any help! That seems safe.
Is the tea at Chinese restaurants green or black? I've always liked that tea.

I'm pretty sure it's black. Oolong as far as I know. Yeah, that's good tea, for sure.

Cinnamon is supposed to be good for weight loss as well. I only like it certain ways at certain times. It's one of the few spices that I'm a little skittish about.

I tried cinnamon sticks in my tea, don't really care for it. I do drink green tea pretty much all day now--kinda' got hooked on it.

Regards,
Michael

I've done a lot of reading on green tea and never saw any direct relationship about drinking it and positive effects on Testosterone. If you've got a link please point me in the direction.
Maybe for increased T you would use it topically instead of orally?

Update?

I've read a few sites, that claim, in order to assist in weight loss? [if] it's going to? It may require 10 or more cups per day!...Frankly I doubt I'll drink that much. As such I might try the extract capsules.

Opinions?..advise?....anyone really know?

10 cups is not that much. Thats 80 ounces of liquid. You should be drinking at least that amount of water every day. Some of us here drink Green Tea all day in place of water.

I've used the Green Tea Extract. I think it's just as effective as drinking green tea for curbing appetite. I've used "Green Tea 315 mg. plus Hoodia" from Wallyworld, for cheap.

But I still believe drinking Green Tea is better than taking the extract, since one needs the hydration. You can do both, like I've done when I was trying to lose weight.
