Side-effects of excessive consumption are a challenge that affects the market expansion. Green tea has gained prominence in many parts of the world due to its medicinal benefits, such as promoting weight loss by boosting the body's capability to metabolize fats at a faster rate. However, one of the major components present is caffeine, which at times can be highly addictive as it is both fat and water-soluble and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier by dissolving into the bloodstream of a person. Moreover, the excessive consumption or concentrated consumption of extract has been associated with liver toxicity, liver damage, or liver injury.
Moreover, green tea contains catechins, which may inhibit the absorption of non-heme iron (plant-based iron) from food sources when consumed simultaneously. Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation after consuming, particularly in the case of excess consumption on an empty stomach. Such side effects and the growing awareness of such side effects decline the growth of the market during the forecast period.
