Matcha Tea: Rich in Chlorophyll, A Renowned Detoxifying Agent

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

Because matcha powdered tea is fully ingested when consumed and because matcha is shade grown -- a process which increases the chlorophyll content in the leaves -- matcha tea is a chlorophyll rich food.

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

These findings, published in the August issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, suggest that a green tea concentrate might help some people strengthen their metabolic defense against toxins capable of causing cancer.

This is the first clinical study to show proof that natural compounds in matcha green tea can increase detoxification enzymes in humans.
