Recommended Intake & Goals
Drink 30-60 minutes before training for clean, jitter-free focus and thermogenic fat oxidation.
Preparation & Usage Steps
- L-Theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier, increasing alpha brain waves for relaxed alertness.
- Caffeine binds to adenosine receptors, preventing fatigue without the rapid spike of coffee.
- EGCG acts as a powerful antioxidant, stimulating fat metabolism via catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibition.
Nutrition Cues
"Whisk with warm water (not boiling) in a W-shaped motion."
"Choose ceremonial grade for drinking, culinary grade for baking."
"Avoid adding processed sugars or dairy milk, which can reduce antioxidant absorption."
Preparation Tips
- Whisk ceremonial matcha with hot water and drink 45 minutes before training; it provides the mental focus of caffeine without raising your heart rate too high.
- Blend matcha with oat milk and a touch of raw honey for a delicious, antioxidant-dense pre-workout latte.
