Vital Peak Matcha Peak — Suplemento de Matcha, 1.000 mg, 60 cápsulas

An easy way to get a light dose of Matcha

According to the “Supplement Facts” label, VitalPeak’s Matcha capsules each contain 500 mg of organic matcha (Camellia sinensis). The stated serving size is two capsules (1,000 mg total).Matcha tea, when prepared traditionally as a daily ritual, is often said to provide psychological benefits beyond its chemistry — the calming effect of the practice itself, and the steadier entry of caffeine into the bloodstream when sipped slowly. In contrast, swallowing capsules may produce a quicker caffeine peak.For those who do not care for the taste of green tea or prefer the convenience of capsules, VitalPeak’s product offers a practical alternative. To avoid a sharp peak, one capsule can be taken in the morning and another in the early afternoon. (Taking matcha too late in the day could affect sleep, since caffeine’s half-life is about 5–7 hours.)The antioxidant effect of matcha comes mainly from EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). The amount of EGCG in two capsules is significantly lower than in a traditional 2–4 g bowl of matcha tea, which means the supplement provides only a light dose. This should minimize any risk of overexposure while still contributing modest antioxidant support.As with any supplement, it is best to consult your physician or physician’s assistant before beginning regular use, particularly if you have medical conditions or take prescription medications.

a little alertness bonus

My doctor has me taking EGCG along with other supplements to work together for antioxidant support. I showed her this bottle, and she approved it for me to take. I like that it is manufactured in the USA, but one thing missing is the cGMP seal I like to see, helping to ensure its quality. Even though “energy” is not a reason I am taking this, I do feel like if I missed my morning coffee, I am still able to function okay with the alertness I get from this – that I normally need my coffee for. The 2-capsule serving is easy to take, without any aftertaste or side effects.

I Like the Idea, but I Prefer Making and Drinking Green Tea

I rated these 4 out of 5 stars, because they do work, deliver polyphenols, a slight energy boost, and a little appetite suppressant. However, after taking them for a month at their current cost, I simply prefer making and drinking a fresh brewed cup of green tea. I don’t know which one is stronger and has more polyphenols, but I know I missed my cup of tea. Also, for some reason, my brain “feels” the effects better from the tea, not sure why, possibly placebo effect.The pills are easy to swallow, have no taste, and come in a gelatin capsule containing finely ground green powder. I apologize, but I changed phones, and do not have the original photos I took to do the review. I wanted to take them for 2-3 weeks before reviewing, so I could give an honest assessment. It is always tough to judge performance with vitamins and supplements, especially if you are already taking a version of the same thing. If you are someone that prefers the quick and easy nature of capsules, then you would easily prefer this over making tea.Due to the performance of them, and that fact that they are made in the USA, and do not hurt my stomach when taking them with or without food and water, I believe them to be quality ingredients. I appreciate the simple packaging and color scheme, as do not enjoy “busy” packaging with BOOM and WHAMO graphics and claims. Simple, elegant packaging that delivers a quality product. Good luck.

Great option for a little energy boost!!

– The bottle came with a plastic safety seal over the lid as well as one under the lid. There is also an expiration date printed on the bottom of the bottle.- The capsules are easy to swallow and certainly smell like matcha. I have not experienced any stomach upset, even when taking them on an empty stomach.- I really like that it is both gluten free and vegetarian. It is also manufactured in the USA.- The serving size of 2 capsules provides 1,000 mg of organic matcha leaf powder. After some research, I have found that this amount will provide around 35 grams of caffeine.- I enjoy drinking matcha tea, but these capsules have come in very handy for travel or when I just need a little pick-me-up but don’t have access to tea and don’t want all the caffeine of a coffee. This is also great for my husband, who doesn’t normally drink caffeine (doesn’t like coffee or tea) but occasionally needs a little energy when he is sleep deprived.- Currently, this product is about $20 for a 30 day supply. Taking into account the dosage, this is a lower price than most competitors I see.- Overall, I think the price is very fair and the supplement itself is a nice quality. There are no unneeded or filler ingredients, and it does give me a boost of calm energy when I need it. This is a product that I will continue to keep on hand and take with me when I travel.
