Re: Tangeretin Interferes with Tamoxifen

I suspect it's only an issue if you consume the peel or a bioflavenoid supplement that contains peel. Some Vitamin C supplements contain added bioflavenoids which may have peel. Quercetin is found in the peel of apples and appears to help Tamoxifen and has anticancer properties on its own. I don't know if apple peel has tangeretin..but there are Quercetin only supplements.
I suppose you could avoid the issue in your tea by squeezing the lemon juice into the tea.
If you really want benefits from green tea, you might benefit more from a supplement. There is a combo called Capsibiol T that combines decaf green tea with Capsaicin for synergy.
