Using green tea extract as a Mucuna nausea buffer prompts concern, caution. What are the alternatives (if any)?

ive been wracking my brains trying to figure out how to dose green tea extract, considering possibility of liver toxicity. it is recommended to take it with food, but how will that help with levodopa absorption if levodopa is to be consumed before food?

further, the max limit is 800mg a day. the half life of green tea is 3-5 hours (i know, a wide range). so if one were to take say, 300mg of green tea extract first thing in the morning, technically, would that morning dose of green tea extract help levodopa absorption of levodopa consumed 3 hours later?

last, is there a difference if it is caffeinated or not?

any insight is much appreciated! i really couldn't find this info.
