Antioxidants are compounds to help protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals - the molecules responsible for ageing and tissue damage. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity, or ORAC, is a method of measuring antioxidant capacity. The ORAC value of RAWCHA® Matcha equals 1573, on a per gram basis. To put this into perspective, our matcha has over 16 times the antioxidant activity of wild blueberries on a per gram basis. In fact, matcha has more antioxidant activity on a per gram basis than ALL of the other popular antioxidant-rich foods listed here, combined!
detox your body
Matcha is carefully shade-grown, making it is substantially richer in chlorophyll than regular green tea. Chlorophyll is a molecule (pigment) that gives plants their signature green color. It acts as a powerful detoxifier, helping to eliminate chemicals, heavy metals and toxins from the body - regenerating and cleansing the body at the molecular and cellular level. Additionally, matcha is a great source of dietary fibre - helping to stabilize glucose and cholesterol levels whilst maintaining a healthy digestive system.
