Benefits of Matcha
A Great Coffee Alternative
Sensitive to caffeine? Matcha might be your answer! Unlike coffee, matcha contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that promotes a calming effect and provides stable energy throughout the day.
Rich in Antioxidants
Matcha is loaded with antioxidants, particularly EGCG, which helps protect your body from free radicals and modulates inflammation.
Detoxifying Properties
Matcha contains chlorophyll, which aids the liver in detoxifying the body from heavy metals and other toxins. Incorporating foods rich in chlorophyll and antioxidants can be incredibly beneficial for your health.
