Yerba Mate - Elixir

• Cuts appetite
• Increases metabolism
• High nutritional content
• High in antioxidant polyphenols

Yerba Maté is a South American tree that is cultivated to produce a leaf tea. It contains many nutrients, including high amounts of magnesium and other minerals, vitamin C, and many important B-complex vitamins. Maté also contains fifteen amino acids, plant sterols and saponins -thought to boost immune function.

It is a very good source of antioxidants - containing higher levels of polyphenols than Green tea. Modern research has shown that it has a higher antioxidant activity than either Green tea or Red Wine.

Yerba Maté also contains a reasonable amount of caffeine - but because the caffeine is part of a complex called Mateine it is noticeably different in its effects to tea or coffee, making it is especially valuable as a tonic for those with busy lifestyles.

Yerba Maté can reduce fatigue, aid digestion, cut appetite, boost metabolism and help to balance blood sugar levels - so it is also ideal for slimmers.
