Improves Bone Health
Matcha is known for its high concentration of antioxidants called polyphenols, which are thought to play a role in preventing osteoporosis. The polyphenols found in matcha tea are especially effective at protecting bones because they are potent, powerful antioxidants and can easily be absorbed by the body, where they are transported directly to the bones themselves. This makes matcha a unique choice among beverages. Many other drinks contain polyphenols as well, but these polyphenols may be so big that they cannot be taken up by the body or may have to undergo extensive processing before they are absorbed.
According to some studies, matcha contains more than 400 times the antioxidants of regular green tea. And it’s not just about antioxidants – it also contains calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K, all important for bone health. Fluoride is also found in matcha because of the high-quality soil that it grows in. Fluoride prevents tooth decay and makes the teeth stronger so they last longer.
