1. Herb of The Week

Matcha is supercharged green tea due to its increased levels of antioxidants, chlorophyll, and L-theanine. Matcha provides the boost of energy you might receive from caffeine but L-theanine keeps you feeling calm and jitter-free. 

2. Matcha vs. Caffeine

A recent study compared the effects of caffeine and matcha green tea. The results showed that while caffeine was effective in increasing work performance the combination of caffeine and L-theanine found in matcha produced sustained mental clarity, focus, and a relaxed state of mind.

3. DKT & Gut Health

DKT is a combination of ginger, pepper, ginseng, and maltose. Recent studies have shown that DKT can be effective in rebalancing inflammatory bowel disease.
