Study Suggests Pure Unsweetened Matcha Helps Maintain Skin Elasticity and Health

Pure unsweetened matcha drinks are becoming increasingly popular as part of a healthy lifestyle. This green tea powder comes from Camellia sinensis leaves that are specially processed to retain their nutrients, including the powerful antioxidant compound EGCG (Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate). According to a review in the journal Nutrients (2022), EGCG shows protective effects against oxidative stress, supports skin elasticity, and has anti-inflammatory properties relevant to dermatological health. This compound helps protect skin cells from damage caused by ultraviolet exposure and free radicals, which are major factors in premature aging. Other research also indicates that the polyphenols in green tea can help inhibit collagen-damaging enzymes. Functional dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe explains that green tea works from within the body to soothe skin inflammation, with optimal effects when combined with an antioxidant-rich diet. These findings reinforce the potential of pure matcha in naturally maintaining skin health. https://www.urbanjabar.com/lifestyle/9217037976/tak-sekadar-tren-ini-khasiat-pure-matcha-tanpa-gula-untuk-menjaga-elastisitas-dan-kesehatan-kulit-secara-alami
