What is a good way to consume ECGC?

Would it be best to consume epigallacatechingallate (ECGC) from loose green tea or matcha powder?

Hi Mada, make sure to take it with lemon water or synthetic citric acid. Makes EGCG like 7 times more bioavailable.

Green tea definitely. ECGC is too powerful to be taken as an extract, can easily turn pro-oxidant. 
I like to start a day with a green tea and let it cool down while I do the 20 minute morning meditation. Makes for a nice ritual

What @Villager Albert said, some vitamin C source to improve bioavailability so few drops of lemon may do the trick or some green teas are already sold in a bag with dried lemon peel.

I actually put some calcium absorbate in it sometimes, because I take it with my breakfast anyway - I'm assuming this will do the trick?
