The Benefits of Premium Ceremonial-grade Matcha
- Matcha is very high in antioxidants. It contains catechins, which is a natural plant antioxidant. Because the whole plant is stone ground, matcha keeps and contains all of its nutrients throughout the manufacturing process.
- Matcha consists of a slow release caffeine, which can aid with focus and alertness, without the jitters that coffee gives.
- Matcha contains the amino acid L-theanine which may have benefits for the nervous system. It helps increase levels of the relaxing neurotransmitter GABA which soothes and relaxes the mind.
- Plant compounds including polyphenols, pass unabsorbed to the large intestine where they are broken down by gut bacteria. In this way, the good gut bacteria thrive and diversify and helps to improve gut function and modify the immune system.
