It seems to interact with green tea "products " according to a new report in the journal Blood. The report indicates that levels of polyphenols in green tea extracts could be high enough to interact with boron-containing medicine such as Velcade and researchers urge clinicians to warn patients against using these supplements if they are on this chemo treatment.
