JAKARTA - Matcha happened to be a drink from a mixture of green matcha powder and milk, which has recently become increasingly popular. However, along with its popularity, there are allegations that the consumption of matchamas can make hair fall out.

Related to this, the director of nutrition services at Mount Sinai Hospital, Samantha Dieras, RN, DCN, confirmed that it was not true. Consumptioning a matchmaking can actually provide nutrition from green tea.

"If you enjoy it, it will provide the benefits of drinking green tea," said Diera, quoted from Vogue, on Friday, September 5, 2025.

Matcha and green tea contain high antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. For this reason, matcha can actually be beneficial for hair health.

However, in consuming matchmaking, there are several things that must be considered so that it still has a good impact on the body. One of them is when consuming it.

It is also recommended to add some foods with vitamin C content to increase the absorption of iron by the body, which is beneficial for good hair.

The selection of additional sweeteners and milk on the matchhaIGN must also be considered. This is because the content of additional sugar and other ingredients can have an unhealthy impact on the body.

In addition, you know that the safe limit for consuming matcha is about 2 to 3 grams a day or the equivalent of 2 to 3 cups. Drinking matcha should not be excessive, because it can have an impact on insomnia, anxiety, reflux of stomach acid, and headaches.

Overall, if you are healthy and moderate in intake, matcha can really be part of your daily health routine. Just pay attention to your body signal and iron status," concluded the primary care doctor, Heather Viola, DO.
