Rich in antioxidants- that have been linked with protection against heart disease and cancer, and improved blood sugar regulation, reduction in blood pressure, and anti-aging.
Matcha Green Tea contains EGCG, a polyphenol that has been shown to boost metabolism and slow the growth of cancer cells.
Contains caffeine- about the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee but without the crash. Contains L-Theanine, which causes you to relax without feeling tired. Matcha gives you the healthy energy you need.
Boosts memory and concentration- a side effect of L-Theanine is the production of dopamine and serotonin, which enhances the mood, boosts memory, and promotes concentration.
