[Black Pill] Has anyone tried Matcha?

[kathisterima]

sounds like a scam 

amino acids and antioxidants don't do shit it's just caffeine with placebo from marketing

I mean there are papers suggesting l theanine and caffeine combination can increase cognitive ability to higher levels than caffeine itself can so it can't be complete bull.

Link?

It's ok. I haven't tried matcha yet, I just found out about it. I have conflicting opinions about the vegan thing, since I have changed a lot as a person in those 5 years I follow those diets. I guess the only reason I keep being on this diet is because I argued a lot with relatives about my diet (they weren't fond) and I don't want to backpedal now, it's an ego thing.

That's interesting, thank you. Regardless of the diet you follow I think the most important thing is getting enough nutrients I'd say.

fair enough, the literature does seem overwhelmingly positive even outside of these studies

I still think it's pretty much a scam and you will hardly notice a difference though
