Matcha Green Tea Powder is one of the most popular drinks in the world. It offers various potential health benefits, such as improved heart health and reduced skin damage from the sun.

Matcha, a particular variety of green tea, is marketed as even healthier than other types. It is grown and prepared differently than other green teas. What’s more, the whole tea leaf is consumed. However, you may wonder if matcha lives up to the hype.

Matcha and regular green tea both come from the Camellia sinensis plant, which is native to China. Matcha, which can have a grassy and bitter taste, is often served with a sweetener or milk. Matcha powder is also popular in smoothies and baking.

Health Benefits of Matcha Green Tea Powder:

Packed with antioxidants: Matcha is very high in antioxidants, especially catechins. Its most powerful catechin is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG has been studied extensively in animals. It may inflammation in your body, help maintain healthy arteries, and promote cell repair.  Whole-leaf teas contain more antioxidants than tea bags or ready-to-drink products

One study found that matcha contains up to 10 times more antioxidants than regular green tea

May reduce your risk of heart disease: heart disease is the biggest cause of death worldwide. Many factors are known to increase heart disease risk. Drinking green tea may help improve several of these risk factors, including total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar levels.

Studies show that people who drink green tea have up to a 31% lower risk of heart disease than those who don’t, this is mainly attributed to the antioxidants and plant compounds in green tea, which are found in even higher amounts in matcha.

May aid weight loss: Green tea has often been associated with weight loss. It’s a common ingredient in weight loss supplements. However, keep in mind that green tea is only a very small piece of the weight loss puzzle — and not all studies agree that it helps. Human studies suggest that green tea increases your total calories burned by boosting your metabolic rate, though the evidence has not been consistent.

May boost relaxation and alertness: In addition to being a great source of antioxidants, green tea contains a unique amino acid called L-theanine. In fact, matcha boasts much higher levels of L-theanine than other types of green tea. L-theanine may increase alpha waves in your brain. These waves are linked to mental relaxation and may help counteract stress signals. L-theanine also modifies the effects of caffeine in your body, increasing alertness without causing the drowsiness that often follows coffee consumption.

Matcha is healthier than regular green tea: Matcha is a special, powerful form of green tea.. It comes from the same plant but is grown and prepared very differently. Since the leaves are ground into powder, you end up consuming the whole leaf.
