BulkSupplements.com Green Tea Extract Powder - 50% Polyphenol, Green Tea Supplement, Herbal Supplement - Gluten Free, 500mg per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

The package of green tea extract was in excellent condition and actually arrived on time for overnight delivery, rather than late the following one or two days, as Amazon so often does. I weighed it on my scale. It weighed in at 9.2 ounces which is slightly heavier than the 8.8 ounces stated on the package. I habitually weight my packages, because I buy a lot of powder supplements and there are certain companies that have a habit of shorting the customer. I find that Bulk Supplements never does that, which is good.Bulk Supplements sometimes ships me supplements that are a little too close to their expiration dates, which is very annoying. It often leaves me with very little time to use the entire package, so then the whole purpose of buying in bulk to save some dough it pointless. This time, it worked out OK, though. The "Best Used By" date says that the product should be used by May 31st, 2027. At the time of this review, that would give me a little over two years to use up the product, which I think can easily be done. That makes me happy.The serving size for this green tea extract is 500 mg, which the package states is about 1/5th of a teaspoon. The package did not come with a spoon for measuring the servings out, which I find disappointing. Bulk Supplements used to supply small, plastic serving spoons or little scoops inside its packages for that purpose. It doesn't appear to be doing that anymore, which is kind of sad. Now, you will need special measuring spoons or a scale that can measure in milligrams, if you want to be precise.The green tea extract seems to be pure. It lists no other ingredients or additives, which makes me very happy. I like it when the suppliers keep the products free fillers and other unwanted things. The extract powder itself is very fine. It is not gritty at all. It has an orangish brown color to it and it smells lovely. It has a sort of sweet fruity green smell to it, like fermented black tea. In dry form, it tastes awful. It is very tannic and bitter. However, it mixes extremely well in my hot beverages without clumping and the flavors and smells that it imparts actually melds quite well with some drinks, such as in hot chocolate with cinnamon or with coffee. It kind of gives the beverages some mild fruity notes.I'm not a fan of green tea, but I do like its health benefits, so being able to mix the green tea extract with something else to mask the flavor and to make it more palatable is ideal. Otherwise, I have to fill capsules. Over all, I am very happy with my purchase. It was well worth the money I paid.

I love Bulk products but the sealer on every bag I buy it is horrible, couple opens and don't work anymore, they should change the packaging method , also the measurements are insane , 1/5 tsp , 2/5 tsp ?? I need to Google all the time and not even there I find the answer ...

On time delivery. checkHelpful employees. checkExcellent communication. checkI am not a chemist so I cannot conclusively verify the exact quality, strength or content of the items received. However, as a layman bodybuilder I can honestly say the materials that I sourced through Bulk Supplements have helped me increase muscle size and strength quickly while minimizing recovery periods.Issues with muscle recovery have limited my physique for years but I felt uncomfortable using supplements (due totally to my ignorance). Recently I decided to give it a shot. After much reading and evaluation of appropriate materials for my first stack, I felt comfortable enough to proceed. I found after a few weeks that my muscle recovery and growth have clearly improved without adversely affecting my health or using questionable substances. I have also noticed the side benefits of heightened focus and increased memory as well. Again this does not quantify the quality of Bulk Supplements products but it leads me to believe that they provide exactly what they claim. (I feel that a placebo effect would explain the significant decrease in muscle soreness that I expected but would not explain the surprising post workout pump and growth which I did not expect at all).I know there are pricy packaged pre/post workout cocktails out there but I like measuring out the exact amounts of the materials I want that are appropriate to my size, diet, timing and regimen. It requires thoughtful reading, organization and a willingness to experiment but I believe these results are more rewarding (and the process more interesting and engaging).I have placed this review on each of the items I have ordered from Bulk Supplements as I will only give my personal opinion on products I have direct experience with.Disclosure: I did receive a free sample of CLA from Bulk Supplements.
