HEALTH BENEFIT OF MATCHA
A strong anti-oxidant found in green tea linked to fight free radicals. The most abundant green tea catechin is called (-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) and is a highly active area of scientific research. Tea catechins such as EGCG have cancer-preventing functions, lowers blood pressure, anti-infection properties, immune system stimulation, and aids in dieting by suppressing hunger.
An amino acid (umami) found in green tea induces the generation of alpha brain waves that are considered to be an index of relaxation and stress reduction. L-theanine is also known to control the excitement caused by caffeine.
Matcha contains caffeine but, it’s about half the amount of a regular cup of coffee. The caffeine in matcha is absorbed slowly in the body, giving you a long and sustained energy boost compared to coffee.
