Matcha

Matcha is an excellent source of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a plant polyphenol with strong antioxidant properties. Matcha contains significantly higher levels of EGCG than regular green tea, thereby increasing its metabolism and thermogenic effects in the body.
In fact, according to a recent review published in Molecules, EGCG has been shown to have beneficial effects against obesity. This is because EGCG can stimulate the genes responsible for fat loss.
