Matcha is recommended to be consumed only 2-4 grams per day. Also be aware of the caffeine content in matcha. In a cup of steeping matcha can contain 30-60 mg of caffeine. As a benchmark, healthy adults are recommended not to consume more than 400 mg of caffeine per day.
If consumed in the right dose, consumption of matcha will have a positive impact on the body. Here are 7 things that will happen to the body if you drink matcha every day, as summarized from Very well health (9/4/2025):
1. Increase memory and concentration
Matcha contains caffeine and amino acids theanine. Research shows that this combination can help improve memory, vigilance, attention, and concentration.
Although further research is still needed, it is found that Theanine in Matcha has a neuroprotective effect. This means that matcha consumption can slow down cognitive decline due to age.

Research shows that consumption of matcha every day can relieve psychological stress and anxiety. In a study of 39 students, it was found that participants who took 3 grams of matcha a day for 15 days experienced a decrease in stress and anxiety compared to those who did not consume matcha.
The impact on stress and anxiety may be the result of the combined effects of theanine and arginine, other amino acids on matcha. However, research on the psychological effects of this compound is still ongoing.
3. Reducing oxidative stress
Matcha contains catechins such as Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) and Epigallocatechin (EGC). Catechins work together with the content of vitamin C and flavonoids in matcha neutralizing free radicals, triggers of oxidative stress.
Drinking matcha every day allows the body to get antioxidant intake. Its role decreases the risk of certain chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
4. Healthy heart and blood vessels

Research proves that consumption of matcha can nourish the heart and blood vessels. Catechins in matcha help reduce inflammation of the heart muscle or blood vessels.
Catechins can also reduce cholesterol, including bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides. If both cholesterol levels are too high in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease or other cardiovascular diseases. Drinking matcha can also help reduce this risk.
