The study looks at the effect of various beverage additives on catechins, the naturally occurring antioxidants found in matcha green tea. Results suggest that complementing green tea with either citrus flavours or vitamin C likely increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb.Ferruzzi  stated that although these results are preliminary, he believes that the results are encouraging because a big part of the puzzle comes down to simple chemistry

Catechins  display health-promoting qualities and is responsible for some of green tea’s health benefits, like reduced risk of cancer, heart attack and stroke. The problem, Ferruzzi said, is that catechins are relatively unstable in non-acidic environments, such as the intestines, and less than 20 percent of the total remains after digestion “Off the bat you are eliminating a large majority of the catechins from plain green tea,” Ferruzzi said. “We have to address this fact if we want to improve bodily absorption.”

Ferruzzi test results confirm that citrus flavours increased recovered catechin levels by more than five times. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, used to increase shelf life in ready-to-drink products, increased recovered levels of the two most abundant catechins by sixfold and 13-fold, respectively.

Lemons and tea go even better together than their popularity might suggest. Lemon flavours caused 80 percent of tea’s catechins to remain, the study found. Following lemon, in terms of stabilizing power, were orange, lime and grapefruit juices. Ferruzzi said both vitamin C and citrus juices must interact with catechins to prevent their degradation in the intestines, although data made it clear that citrus juices have stabilizing effects beyond what would be predicted solely based on their vitamin C content. Finding methods to improve uptake of these catechins may, therefore, be important in improving health, part of the study’s goal, Ferruzzi said.If you want more out of your green tea try Zenorganics Matcha lemonade both hot and cold.
