Catechin, the main component of Japanese green tea, has more antioxidant properties than vitamin C. It is also one of the polyphenols that helps prevent arteriosclerosis and cerebral infarction.

The antioxidant power of catechin is said to be 10 times that of vitamin E and 80 times that of vitamin C.

As a nutritional science, taking water-soluble vitamin C at the same time as catechin suppresses melanin pigments, has a synergistic effect, and is effective for skin beautification.

Matcha Green tea blocks oil absorption.

During the transfer from the stomach to the small intestine, the ingested oil is emulsified by bile and decomposed into fatty acids and glycerin by enzymes contained in the pancreatic fluid, so that it can be absorbed in the small intestine.
