Here's the tea on EGCG
Surely you've heard about L-Theanine, but have you been acquainted with epigallocatechin gallate? 
What is epigallocatechin gallate?
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG for short) is an antioxidant, but it isn't just any regular antioxidant. EGCG is known as one of the world's most potent antioxidants AND it's also the main antioxidant found in matcha.
Why does this matter?
Antioxidants are especially important for boosting immunity, as they fight off cells that cause chronic diseases and aging. Simply put, the more antioxidants your body has, the better equipped it is to keep you healthy! Matcha takes it a step further with catechins, also known as tea antioxidants, which have been shown to possess antiviral properties. EGCG is a catechin that helps when you’re feeling under the weather by reducing inflammation, aids in maintaining healthy arteries, and even promotes cell repair.
Protect your body and boost your immunity with matcha. A healthy mind and body will help you Prepare Daringly to push onward and upward in all that you want to accomplish!
