Releases Antioxidants
Antioxidants are beneficial for health because they help to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage cells and cause disease, so anything that can balance them is good news. One of the best ways to get antioxidants into the body is through tea; matcha contains more antioxidants than most other teas due to its unique production process. When people drink matcha, they ingest various catechins (a type of antioxidant). Matcha has about 10 to 30 times more catechins than regular green tea and even more than some black teas.
