Yerba Mate

Yerba Mate is a traditional cultural drink of ancient origins. Introduced to the world by the Guarani Indians of South America, mate promotes overall health, wellness and stable energy.* Made from the leaves of a small evergreen holly tree, yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is grown in several countries in South America. As a stimulant, yerba mate is generally used as an alternate source of caffeine.

On top of being a source of caffeine, mate also provides numerous vitamins, minerals and amino acids, putting it up there in the ranks of healthy drinks like green tea. But more than a drink, yerba mate has become a cultural phenomenon throughout South America. In Buenos Aires, people carry their mate with them throughout the day for a mid-day energy boost.*

On top of the stable caffeine boost that you can get from mate, it also provides 196 active compounds, 24 vitamins and minerals, and 15 amino acids. With high amounts of chlorophyll, iron, trace minerals, vitamins A, E, and C as well as a mix of B vitamins, mate has potential antioxidant benefits to help you stay in your best health.*

Supplementing with yerba mate may help athletes have better training sessions and recover faster.* But whether you want to lose weight or build a toned physique, yerba mate is a great overall health supplement to help you surpass your goals.*
