Matcha drink may reduce iron levels
Studies from Leeds Beckett University have confirmed that matcha drink affects iron absorption in the body due to its content of tannin compounds that bind to iron and reduce the body's ability to absorb it. Although its impact is limited when consumed in moderation, it becomes more significant for individuals suffering from iron deficiency or anemia—especially if consumed an hour or two before or after iron-rich meals. To support iron absorption, it is recommended to eat foods high in vitamin C, such as peppers and citrus fruits. It is also best to separate matcha consumption from iron-rich meals to prevent interference with iron absorption in the body.
