Our matcha protein powder is additive-free.

Most matcha flavored protein powders come packed with emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, and flavors. These extra ingredients can have a big impact on your digestion, even if they are only in small amounts, and lead to unpleasant gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Some of the most common side effects are bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence (gas), and stomach pain. The reason behind these symptoms is that additives do not resemble real food and can be hard to digest, especially for people who have gut issues.

common additives in protein powder:

acacia gum, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavors, aspartame, carob bean gum, carrageenan, cellulose gum, dextrin, dextrose, erythritol, gellan gum, guar gum, gum arabic, inulin, locust bean gum, “natural” flavors, maltodextrin, rice syrup solids, soy lecithin, silica, sucralose, sunflower lecithin, xanthan gum, xylitol

When partially digested food hangs around in your digestive tract, it can cause two outcomes. First, your gut might absorb extra water, resulting in diarrhea. On the other hand, the additives can feed bacteria in your gut, which produce gas. Too much gas can leave you feeling bloated, cause flatulence, bring about stomach pain, and even slow down the movement of food through your colon, causing constipation.

Many people include a protein shake in their daily routine, so it is important to understand how the cumulative effect of small amounts of additives can be significant. Even if you do not experience gut issues, regularly consuming additives can gradually disrupt the regulatory pathways in your intestines. Over time, this can lead to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory disorders. Moreover, food additives, particularly artificial sweeteners, can disturb the delicate equilibrium of your gut microbiome — the community of microorganisms that aid in food digestion. To sum it up, food additives can have a detrimental impact on both your immediate and long-term gut health.

Our matcha protein powder is dairy-free.

Many matcha flavored protein powders utilize whey and/or casein protein, which are byproducts of the process of making cheese and yogurt. Proteins derived from dairy are notorious for triggering digestive issues, especially among the one-third of adults who have lactose intolerance. Individuals with lactose intolerance lack the enzymes needed to fully break down lactose, the sugar in dairy products. As mentioned earlier, when food is only partially digested, it can result in unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.

Our matcha egg white protein powder is made with real foods.

Nearly every matcha flavored protein powder is composed of protein concentrates or isolates, which are essentially food stripped down to only the protein content. Instead of being labeled as “peas” or “whey,” they are referred to as “pea protein” and “whey protein.” To become protein powder, concentrates and isolates undergo extensive mechanical and chemical processing. Some manufacturers even employ chemical solvents like hexane to extract the protein from its natural source. Consequently, the protein in your protein shake is a far cry from real food.

Your digestive system is designed to handle minimally-processed or unprocessed natural foods, not synthetic imitations. Consuming anything other than real food can result in undesirable side effects. Although the long-term effects of consuming processed ingredients like protein isolates are still being investigated, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that they can disrupt the balance of your gut microbiota.

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in food digestion, acts as a protective barrier against harmful pathogens, educates your immune system, and influences various physiological processes. Hence, imbalances in the delicate equilibrium of the gut microbiome have been linked to the development of numerous chronic diseases. Given this link, it is prudent to avoid protein powders made with protein concentrates and isolates.

Our matcha egg white protein powder is made with pasteurized, dried egg whites, not protein concentrates or isolates. Unless you have an egg allergy or sensitivity, egg whites are undoubtedly the finest protein choice for your gut. They are low in fiber, low in FODMAPs, and possess the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) among all whole foods, meaning they are easily digested and absorbed by the body. Our happy customers consistently report experiencing fewer digestive issues with egg white protein powder than with any other type of protein powder.

Protein powders are, to put it simply, powdered versions of high protein foods. They are not nutritionally superior to any other dietary protein, they are just more convenient. The main source of dietary protein in our matcha egg white protein powder is egg whites, the clear liquid that surrounds the yellow yolk of an egg. Egg whites are naturally high in protein, so all we have to do is pasteurize and dry them to make the best matcha protein powder. Compared to what it takes to extract protein from other foods (peas, milk etc.), this is hardly processing. In fact, our matcha egg white protein powder is the most natural (least processed) protein powder on the planet.

Adding matcha protein powder to your diet is simply an easy way to boost your protein intake. Protein powder is not nutritionally superior to any other type of dietary protein, it is just easier to eat. If you cannot get enough protein from other protein sources, protein powder can help you balance your diet. Many of our customers use our protein powder because they have trouble digesting other forms of protein. They choose our matcha protein powder because is is made specifically for people with gut issues and sensitive stomachs.

We recommend mixing our matcha protein powder with 1-2 cups of cold milk or water. If protein shakes are not your thing, you can add matcha protein powder to recipes like pancakes and overnight oats. Check out our matcha protein powder recipes for more ideas.

Use matcha protein powder any time you need extra calories and protein. This may be first thing in the morning, right after a workout, or with a meal. Replacing part of a meal with a matcha protein shake is a popular way to use matcha protein powder, but drinking a shake as a snack works too. If you are hungry, or simply looking for a protein boost, matcha protein powder is a great option.

Our matcha protein powder is made in Plymouth, Massachusetts in a FDA-Registered, GMP-Certified facility. Although we source ingredients from around the world, our primary ingredients come from US farms.
