Buying Matcha Slim? Read this first...

- The first ingredient in Matcha Slim is maltodextrin, a carbohydrate used for weight gain
- Only buy pure organic matcha from Japan

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

"Today, I came across the product Matcha Slim via Pinterest. This product promises customers significant weight loss. This interested me, so I googled various matcha product providers. When I came to your site, I immediately noticed that you do not advertise significant weight loss. I am now wondering why? Do the products differ, or is there nothing to the alleged weight loss from taking matcha? Best 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 fact.

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix for weight loss, not even a magical green powder from Japan. If such a product existed, it would be strictly regulated and sold as a medication. If you take a close look at the ingredients of Matcha Slim, there is nothing special about it; it is a matcha blend with some plant extracts—and although the polyphenols (phytonutrients) in matcha can support digestion, this will not be enough to change the number on your scale.

At MatchaLand, we only make claims that are scientifically proven: longer-lasting energy, increased concentration, and a healthy effect due to the high content of antioxidants.

Every fitness expert or sports scientist will tell you that for most people, a calorie deficit has the greatest impact on weight loss.

It is calorie intake (not endurance training 'cardio', as many think) that has the greatest impact on weight loss for most people. This means that your body burns more calories than it takes in with food—then your body will begin to use fat reserves to produce energy.

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

So, unfortunately, there is no beverage that has a measurable effect on weight loss, except perhaps a protein shake, but that is a completely different topic.

As I said, you can certainly improve digestion with matcha due to its probiotics, but that plays a very minor role in overall weight loss.

By the way, if you type "Matcha Slim Switzerland" into Google and look at the ingredient list, you will notice that matcha is not even the first ingredient in Matcha Slim. It is maltodextrin, a carbohydrate that is used for weight gain!

So, if you want to drink matcha for its energy, concentration, and health benefits, choose pure matcha from Japan without additional ingredients, like the matcha from MatchaLand.
