400–800mg of green tea extract (standardized to 50% EGCG) daily. EGCG is one of the most potent polyphenol antioxidants studied — it inhibits DHT production similarly to saw palmetto, reduces UV-induced skin damage, lowers sebum oxidation that causes acne, and has measurable effects on metabolic rate and fat oxidation. Both topical and oral EGCG show benefits for skin aging and clarity.

Skin is less oily and breakouts reduced after 2 months. The antioxidant protection stacks well with my SPF.

Adding EGCG to my hair stack — combined with saw palmetto, the shedding dropped noticeably.
