Matcha: An Everyday Anti-Inflammatory Superfood
Matcha, or powdered green tea, is one of the most powerful antioxidant superfoods you can consume. Matcha is a concentrated source of a specific group of polyphenols called catechins. You may have heard of EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate. EGCG is a catechin found in concentrated amounts in matcha—much higher than regular green tea! EGCG has been widely studied for years for its beneficial effects on weight loss, inflammation reduction, cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, and gut microbe balancing.
