The Benefits of Matcha

There are two key benefits of matcha

1. A combination of high L-theanine and high caffeine content from the matcha provides long lasting energy without jitteriness.

2. Catechins in matcha contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The most active and abundant catechins present in matcha is Epigallocatechin gallete (EGCG).

So what does this mean?

1. Energy without anxiety or jitters

• High L-theanine content and caffeine content is steadily released into the body.

2. Good for Weight Loss

• The catechin in matcha and caffeine work together to boost your metabolism and increases the number of calories you burn on a daily basis.

• The EGCG catechins increases cholecystokinin (CCK), the hormone responsible for making you full. Drinking matcha between meals helps you resist snacking.

3. Good for Immunity

• The catechin antioxidant EGCG protects the body against various bacteria and viral infections

• Lowers cholesterol level, potentially reducing risk of heart attack
