Green Tea Extract and Niacin (Prescription): what the published research says

PubMed indexes 3 records that name Green Tea Extract and Niacin (Prescription) 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.

This page lists published research relevant to Green Tea Extract and Niacin (Prescription). 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.

The research

3 studies naming Green Tea Extract and Niacin (Prescription).

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Niacin, thiamin, iron and protein status of humans as affected by the consumption of tea (Camellia sinensis) infusions.

Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands) · 1991 · PMID 1796091

Research Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S.Human subjects

“However, niacin availability was unaffected by tea drinking. Because of the decreased availability of thiamin, the need for niacin was depressed which caused a greater than expected urinary loss of this vitamin.”

Wang et al. · From the abstract

Names both Green Tea Extract and Niacin (Prescription) in its title.

2016 updated MASCC/ESMO consensus recommendations: prevention of radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer · 2017 · PMID 27624464

Systematic ReviewConsensus StatementHuman subjects

“The serotonin receptor antagonists are still the corner stone in antiemetic prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting induced by high and moderate emetic risk radiotherapy. The studies available since the last update did not change recommendations for antiemetic prophylaxis. The emetogenicity of craniospinal radiotherapy was reclassified from low to moderate emetic level along with some other minor changes.”

Ruhlmann et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Green Tea Extract and Niacin (Prescription) together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

A prospective phase II trial of EGCG in treatment of acute radiation-induced esophagitis for stage III lung cancer.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology · 2015 · PMID 25769379

Clinical Trial, Phase II

“This trial confirmed that the oral administration of EGCG is an effective and safe method to deal with ARIE. A phase III randomized controlled trial is expected to further corroborate the consequence of EGCG in ARIE treatment.”

Zhao et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Green Tea Extract and Niacin (Prescription) together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Track what you actually take.

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 Green Tea Extract, Niacin (Prescription), 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.
