Matcha's Effects: Nurse's Experience Highlights Risks and Benefits

A nurse named Lynn started drinking matcha, a green tea powder, once a week.

After a few months, she started feeling tired, itchy, and cold.

She found out she had a problem called anemia, where her body didn't have enough iron.

The matcha seemed to be making her anemia worse.

Matcha has things in it that can stop your body from absorbing iron properly.

Now, she drinks tea instead and is feeling better.

A doctor said that if you drink matcha, you should have it between meals to help your body absorb iron.

She shared her story on a video to help others.
