PubMed indexes 3 records that name EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) and Iron together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) and Iron. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
“Through the activation of the Keap1/P62/Nrf2 pathway, EGCG inhibits inflammation, oxidative stress and iron deposition in rats with cerebral hemorrhage. EGCG inhibits oxidative stress, iron deposition and apoptosis in rats with ICH by activating Keap1/P62/Nrf2 pathway.”
Names both EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) and Iron in its title.
“Through these two mechanisms, EGCG can effectively inhibit iron overload-induced ferroptosis. Taken together, these findings suggest that EGCG is a potential ferroptosis suppressor, and may be a promising therapeutic agent for iron overload-induced liver disease.”
Names both EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) and Iron in its title.
“Furthermore, lipid-peroxidation products in the tissues and plasma were also decreased when compared with untreated mice. This is the first evidence of the orchestral role of green tea extract abundant with epigallocatechin-3-gallate in improving ineffective erythropoiesis, iron dysregulation and oxidative stress in iron-overloaded β-thalassemic mice.”
Names both EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) and Iron in its title.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), Iron, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
NutriStack is an informational and organizational tool, not a medical service, and not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication.
