Yerba Maté is a South American tree that is cultivated to produce a green leaf tea. It contains many vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, vitamin C, and many important B-complex vitamins. Maté also provides fifteen amino acids, plant sterols and saponins. It is a very good source of antioxidants called polyphenols - providing higher levels than Green tea.
Yerba Maté contains naturally occuring caffeine (between 0.7-2%) but because the caffeine is part of a complex called Mateine it is noticeably different in its effects to tea or coffee.
Yerba Maté is especially valuable as a tonic for those with busy lifestyles. It provides many nutrients, controls appetite, can combat physical and mental fatigue. Yerba Maté capsules can be used as an antioxidant supplement - or, like Green tea capsules, can be used to contribute to the maintenance of a healthy body weight.
