Research notes

This product was documented via two secondary sources (probioticsguide.com review and a newswire.com press release) plus a search-engine synthesis of the Amazon listing, since direct WebFetch of the Amazon product page was not completed (Amazon pages have been returning connection errors/dynamic-content limitations throughout this research session for multiple brands). The two secondary sources differ slightly in phrasing but are largely consistent; no outright contradictions were found between them, though the specific 217mg matcha quantity and the Nishio-Japan origin claim each came from only one source and were not corroborated by a second.
