CBD & MATCHA: A DELICIOUS PLANT-POWERED DUO
CBD & matcha offer unique benefits on their own, but when combined, the health benefits are amplified!
Just a few of the CBD benefits:
Pain relief: CBD has been reported to have analgesic properties, potentially helping with the management of chronic pain and reducing inflammation.
Anxiety and stress reduction: CBD may have calming effects on the mind and body, which can help reduce anxiety and stress levels. It may also promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
Anti-inflammatory properties: CBD has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory properties, which may be beneficial for conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Skin health: CBD has been used in skincare products for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It may help reduce acne, soothe skin irritations, and promote a healthy complexion.
Benefits of Matcha:
Rich in antioxidants: Matcha is packed with antioxidants, including catechins, which help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants support overall health and may have anti-aging effects.
Increased energy and focus: Matcha contains a moderate amount of caffeine, which provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters often associated with coffee. It also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and mental clarity.
Boosts metabolism: Matcha has been suggested to help increase metabolism and support weight management. It may aid in fat oxidation and thermogenesis, which can contribute to weight loss.
Calming effect: Despite containing caffeine, matcha has a calming effect due to the presence of L-theanine. It can promote a sense of relaxation and mental clarity.
