But does it have any health benefits? Let's know
Matcha is packed with catechins, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which help fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body
Matcha contains both caffeine and L-theanine, which together improve focus, attention, memory, and overall cognitive function-without the jitters of coffee
Regular consumption of matcha may lower bad LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing the risk of heart disease
Matcha can help increase calorie burning and fat oxidation, making it a great addition to a weight loss or fitness regimen
Chlorophyll in matcha helps detoxify the body naturally, and its high levels of vitamins (like A, C, and E) and minerals help strengthen the immune system
