Fio is seen brewing a spoonful of eating matcha powder every day. He did not use the right dose of gramasi, just guessing the amount per spoonful.
Then the matcha powder is brewed with 300 ml of water. Fio said it felt bitter, but he tried to survive. However, on the 15th day of his experiment, he reported to be hospitalized for Matcha’s overdose reasons. However, it is not explained by the doctor’s diagnosis or the effects of Fio feel.
So what is the safe limit for consumption of matcha every day?
Quoting Encha’s blog, matcha consumption is called important to consider, regardless of a myriad of healthy benefits offered. Don’t drink more than 3 cups of matcha every day. For the maximum amount, 5 cups.
This amount does not apply to everyone. It could be that someone is more sensitive to matcha so that he can only drink 1-2 cups of matcha every day.
The Matcha.com site reveals for the calculation of matcha consumption per gram, make sure only 2-4 grams of matcha powder per day. Researchers further recommend consumption of a minimum of 2 grams of matcha powder a day to get their maximum healthy benefits, including effective antioxidant compounds.
Usually to brew a cup of matcha, it takes 2 grams for 2 cups per day or 1 gram for 4 cups per day. This amount can be adjusted to the preference of the bitter taste of Matcha.

Meanwhile, research shows that if you are interested in matcha benefits for cognitive abilities or potential protection against neurodegeneration, consumption of 4 grams of matcha powder per day can be done.
It was found that this dose increases the speed of attention and memory function in the human test group compared to control.
However, even though you can drink matcha every day, remember that matcha contains caffeine like coffee. The daily caffeine consumption limit for healthy adults is only 400 mg.
Matcha can actually be consumed at any time, but because it contains caffeine, for those who are sensitive to caffeine, you should avoid drinking matcha near the hours of sleep.
Also try to drink matcha not in an empty stomach so as not to trigger stomach acid. We recommend that you eat first before drinking green tea powder rich in this benefit.
