A customer wrote to me today asking about a product called Matcha Slim. She read that Matcha Slim promises great weight loss and wanted to know if our Matcha does the same:

"Today I came across the Matcha Slim product via Pinterest. This product promises the customer great weight loss. I was interested in this, so I googled various Matcha product providers. When I came to your site, I immediately noticed that at The big weight loss is not being advertised to you. I'm now wondering why? Are the products different, or is there nothing wrong with the alleged weight loss through taking Matcha? Kind regards, Stefanie."

Thank you for your question Stefanie.

As is the case with most "quick weight loss products", this is just marketing and not scientifically proven facts.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a quick weight loss solution, not even a magical green powder from Japan. If such a product existed, it would be tightly regulated and sold as a drug. If you look closely at the ingredients of Matcha Slim there is nothing special about it, it is a matcha blend with some plant extracts - and while the polyphenols (plant nutrients) in matcha may aid in digestion this will not be enough to make the number up to change your scale.

MatchaLand only makes statements that are scientifically proven: longer-lasting energy, increased concentration and a healthy effect due to the high antioxidant content.

Any fitness expert or exercise scientist will tell you that for most people, being in a calorie deficit has the biggest impact on weight loss.

that calorie intake alone (not endurance 'cardio' as many think) has the biggest impact on weight loss for most people. This means that as your body burns more calories than it takes in from food - then your body will begin to use stored fat for energy.

Of course, there are treatments like cryolipolysis and liposuction, but these are medical procedures.

So unfortunately there is no drink that has a measurable effect on weight loss, except maybe a protein shake, but that's another topic entirely.

Again, matcha can certainly improve digestion due to its probiotics, but that plays very little role in overall weight loss.

By the way, if you Google Matcha Slim Switzerland and look at the ingredients list, you will see that Matcha is not even the first ingredient of Matcha Slim. It's maltodextrin, a carbohydrate used for weight gain !

So if you want to drink Matcha for its energy, focus and health benefits, choose pure Matcha from Japan with no added ingredients, like MatchaLand's Matcha.
