Hi everyone,
I normally drink loads of green tea but have cut down to one cup per day till I am certain it doesn’t reverse the effects of Ibrance. This study
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi...
may indicate that it does as it is a ‘kinase inhibitor’??? But I can’t follow the scientific jargon with any certainty.
Thoughts anyone?
Best wishes to everyone who has found their way here, have a good day xxx
Of course you should always check with your doctor, but after reading the article you supplied & a few others MY takeaway is that green tea, the actual tea (not supplements or extracts) is perfectly fine.
There are people out there that think if "a little" is good then a "lot" should be great...a couple cups of green tea should be fine. Make sure though that the tea you're drinking (green or otherwise) is a good quality tea.
Thank you SpongebobMom, I think I agree, the extract would be much stronger and therefore have a greater effect (not the same as more beneficial!). Will ask my Inv, trouble is I don’t think he knows! In the meantime I’ll carry on enjoying my green tea. Xxx
That’s great Sandra, thanks for the info. I take Ibrance in the evening and drink green tea mostly in the morning so probably OK for a cup or two.
I have been drinking 1 cup of ceremonial matcha green tea several times per week in the afternoon. Take my Ibrance between 6-7 with dinner. as it lessens my fatigue somewhat. I had no idea it could effect the Ibrance..good to know. thank you for posting the link. Wonder what else would pep me up, I don't drink caffeine.
