NIS Labs has developed a new test called CAP-e. Cap-e stands for Cell-based Antioxidant Protection in erythrocytes. This test evaluates the antioxidant potential of a substance. This Cell-based test goes beyond the ORAC test by determining whether a substance has true bioavailability. The CAP-e test measures how much of the antioxidants the body actually absorbs in order to protect our red blood cells from oxidation.
The CAP-e test shows that Aiya Ceremonial Matcha scored 37 GAE (Gallic Acid Equivalent) units on a per gram basis. In a traditional bowl of Matcha the serving size is 2 grams, thus making a total value of 74 GAE units per serving of Matcha.*
Compare Matcha to blueberries, another antioxidant rich food. According to NIS Labs 120 grams of blueberries make up a serving. On a per serving basis blueberries scored 42 GAE units on the CAP-e test. On a per gram basis that is equivalent to 0.35 GAE units. Matcha on a per gram basis is 105 times more effective than blueberries, and based on a serving size Matcha is over 56% more efficient than blueberries.
According to Fumi Sugita, General Manager at Aiya America, "Aiya conducted an ORAC test about 6 years ago and the results showed Matcha green tea contains high amounts of antioxidants, but now with the CAP-e test we confirmed that our body actually absorbs the antioxidants from Matcha green tea. This is great news to share with everyone. Aiya's main mission is share this great product, Matcha with the world and to provide proper education. We will continue to explore the mystery of Matcha and share its benefit to the world."

Looking to spice things up a bit? Try our Spicy Oolong Chai! The Chai Company has married the heat of ginger and black pepper with the floral and toasty notes of oolong tea. This chai is certainly spicier than the Authentic chai, but it remains balanced with The Chai Company’s signature slow brewing process. The result is a delicious chai with lingering warmth and subtle sweetness. We think you will enjoy it.
How about some unsweetened chai with great flavor? The Green Tea Chai is for you! Made with green tea this chai has a great spice profile but contains no sugar or sweetener of any kind.

Smoothie Essentials Blends are a wide range of functional supplements, formulated with your health in mind.
The true beauty of this blend of healthy ingredients is that it can help fight fatigue, increase stamina and boost vitality - all while reducing stress. Think of it as your own personal "clean" energy.
Why an Energy Blend? Why not just have a strong coffee or a soda? Although those are traditionally the most popular daily energy boosts, science now shows us that they are not always the most effective way to feel more energized and stay that way. Natural ingredients - without sugar and caffeine - are more suitable to many people. Especially for sustained energy, rather than a quick burst, followed by a crashing low.
