Matcha Green Tea is chock full of chlorophyll, and chlorophyll is a potent detoxifying agent.

The pigment which gives leaves their green color, chlorophyll, helps to remove heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.

Because of this action, matcha is an ideal superfood to ingest during any type of fast or detoxifying program. The amount of caffeine is so minute in matcha that it is fine to use during detox programs.

Because the entire tea leaf is ground into a powder to make matcha, much chlorophyll and fiber is consumed. The shade growing process also drives up the cholorphyll content in the tea leaves used to make matcha.

Concentrated natural compounds derived from matcha green tea also dramatically boost production of a group of key detoxification enzymes in people with low levels of these beneficial enzymes, according to researchers at the Arizona Cancer Center.

These findings, published in a recent issue of Cancer Epidemiology: Biomarkers & Prevention; a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, suggest that matcha might help some people strengthen their defenses against toxins that could cause cancer.

A study featured in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that matcha green tea produces a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism) in individuals, combined with a significant effect on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally attributed to the caffeine content of green tea, the researchers discovered that the matcha green tea effects on energy and weight loss go beyond those that would be caused by the caffeine.

In fact, they found that consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body’s own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expediture.

Another study showed that after drinking matcha test subjects burned 25% more fat during exercise. Both studies suggest that matcha green tea can greatly assist both resting metabolic rate and fat burning. Indeed matcha can be used in any weight loss program.
