Here’s what scientists are saying about yerba mate…
In 1964 the Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific society concluded “it is difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to Mate in nutritional value” and that Yerba Mate contains “practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life.” Today, over 300,000 tons of Yerba Mate is produced yearly for consumption in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. It is truly the South American passion!
and that passion is fueling a revolution around the world.
I heard that yerba mate has caffeine, but also that this component is not really caffeine but Mateine. They say that Mateine in Yerba Mate doesn’t have the same side effect as the caffeine. Can somebody clarify this for me, please?
