Matcha is a fine powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, matcha provides a higher concentration of nutrients.
Matcha contains high levels of catechins, especially EGCG - which is a natural polyphenol found in green tea, linked to cancer prevention, weight loss and heart health.
Matcha contains both caffeine and L-theanine. Caffeine provides gentle energy, while L-theanine promotes feelings of relaxation and curbs anxiety, creating a state of calm alertness.
Additionally, caffeine may help promote visceral fat loss by boosting energy levels and improving performance during exercise.
People who drink matcha tend to have lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of developing diseases such as heart disease, certain cancers, and diabetes.
The chlorophyll in matcha helps detoxify the body by removing heavy metals and chemical toxins.
Matcha can boost metabolism and burn fat, making it a popular choice for people looking to control their weight.
