Why have you combined Collagen with Matcha?
At Nutra Organics we believe in offering well rounded nutrition in each product. Due to the popularity of our collagen range and our matcha latte, we have decided to combine them both and offer you the best of both worlds: the glowing benefits of collagen alongside with uplifting and energising benefits of matcha green tea.
Is the Matcha flavour strong?
The Matcha flavour can be adjusted to suit your preference. For a mellow and gentle taste, you can follow the standard recipe by adding 6 grams (2 teaspoons) of Collagen Matcha Latte powder to a little hot or cold milk of choice. However, if you're a bold, hardcore Matcha lover craving a stronger flavour, you have the option to add an extra teaspoon or two of the powder to intensify its rich, earthy notes.
How does Collagen Matcha Latte help me to energise?
Matcha green tea naturally contains caffeine, and offers the body and mind a more sustained energy option.
Espresso has approximately 145 mg of caffeine per 50 mL cup+
Matcha Latte has approx. 26 mg of caffeine per serve
Milk chocolate has 10 mg of caffeine per 50 g bar+

What type of Matcha do you use & where is it sourced from?
We use premium culinary matcha, the second harvest tea leaves, providing beautiful colour and rich, distinctive robust flavour to blended preparations (like lattes and smoothies). Our Organic DōMatcha® is 100% authentic Japanese ground matcha, directly from Kagoshima and Uji, Kyoto where Japanese matcha originated.
Is it pregnancy & breastfeeding suitable?
As with other matcha containing products, there is some naturally occurring caffeine in our product (approximately 26 mg per serve). So we do advise on all our products to seek advice from your health care professional on taking our products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We only say so as we believe that every pregnancy is different, taking a toll differently on each individual body in vitamin, mineral and energy levels. We invite you to research the product to ensure that you are not sensitive to any particular ingredients.
Is it vegan & gluten free?
Our Collagen Matcha Latte is gluten free yes! The recipe does not contain any gluten containing ingredients and we make sure that Collagen Matcha Latte is manufactured and packed in a gluten free environment.
It is not vegan. Collagen Matcha Latte contains collagen which comes exclusively from animal origin. We proudly source our bovine collagen from the most reputable, sustainable and ethical manufacturer in the world - Gelita.
What is EGCG (antioxidants)?
Matcha green tea contains 4 types of what we call catechins (epicatechin (EC), epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC) and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), of which the latter is the most active and abundant. EGCG is a powerful antioxidant found in matcha that offers free radical protection.
What is more effective, Collagen Matcha Latte or Collagen Beauty?
Collagen Beauty has been specifically formulated to target skin, hair, nails and gut. It contains specific bioactive collagen peptides for this function as well as supportive nutrients (such as, zinc, silica and vitamin C) to specifically target those areas, whereas Collagen Matcha Latte contains collagen peptides that broadly support collagen production within the body. This means that your Collagen Matcha Latte will still support your skin, hair, nails and gut, but it’s less targeted.
