Matcha powder, a superfine powder made by stone-grinding steamed green tea, retains nearly all of the tea's nutritional active ingredients, and its health benefits far exceed those of regular green tea. From traditional health practices to modern scientific research, the health benefits of matcha powder have been continuously verified, specifically in the following five areas:
一、Super strong antioxidant, delaying cell aging
The core active ingredient of matcha powder is tea polyphenols, which have an antioxidant capacity 25 times that of vitamin C and 50 times that of vitamin E.Free radicals are the "culprit" that causes skin aging and organ dysfunction, and tea polyphenols can effectively eliminate free radicals and reduce the damage to cells caused by oxidative stress.
Studies have shown that long-term moderate intake of matcha powder can help delay the formation of skin wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases caused by oxidation (such as cardiovascular aging, neurodegeneration, etc.).
二、Improve metabolic efficiency and help with weight management

The caffeine and tea polyphenols contained in matcha powder form a "synergistic effect": caffeine can stimulate the central nervous system and increase the basal metabolic rate; tea polyphenols can inhibit the synthesis of fat cells and promote fat decomposition.The combination of the two can not only reduce heat accumulation, but also increase energy consumption during exercise.
In addition, the dietary fiber in matcha powder (about 45 grams per 100 grams) can enhance satiety and reduce overeating, and its low-calorie and zero-fat properties make it an ideal ingredient for fat loss.
三、Balance brain state, improve cognition and mood
L-theanine, a natural amino acid found in matcha powder, forms a "golden partnership" with caffeine: caffeine can refresh the mind and enhance concentration;L-theanine can relieve anxiety, calm emotions, and avoid palpitations or excitement caused by simply consuming caffeine by promoting the release of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain.
This "two-way regulation" effect makes matcha powder a healthy choice for students and office workers to improve efficiency.
四、Cardiovascular system maintenance

Evidence-based:
Daily intake of 1.5g of matcha reduces the risk of stroke by 25% (a study of 70,000 people in the journal "Stroke").

五、Regulate blood sugar and stabilize energy metabolism
The tea polyphenols in matcha powder can inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase, slowing the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines, thereby preventing a sudden spike in blood sugar after meals. They can also enhance insulin sensitivity, helping the body utilize glucose more efficiently and reducing fat accumulation.
For diabetics or people with large fluctuations in blood sugar, adding an appropriate amount of matcha powder to the diet (make sure to pair it with low-sugar ingredients) can help assist in blood sugar management.
- vitamins:Vitamin A (protects eyesight), Vitamin C (enhances immunity), Vitamin E (antioxidant);
- minerals:Calcium, iron, zinc (promote bone development and hematopoietic function);
- Chlorophyll:Help purify blood and promote metabolism。
- These nutrients work synergistically to comprehensively enhance the body's immunity and reduce sub-health conditions such as colds and fatigue.
