Benefits of Yerba Mate
Native to the region of the Paraná, Paraguay, and Uruguay river basins, yerba mate (Ilex Paraguariensis) is part of the traditions of the South American people. Beyond the generations-long tradition, studies confirm that the plant has surprising nutritional and medicinal properties.
In fresh leaves, approximately 0.4 to 1.6% caffeine and 0.3 to 0.45% theobromine are found, along with traces of theophylline, as well as caffeoylquinic acid, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. Thanks to its composition, yerba mate stimulates physical and mental activity, activating metabolism and favoring weight loss. With digestive properties, it is capable of combating constipation and fluid retention without causing the side effects of coffee, such as insomnia and irritability.
Furthermore, the plant also stimulates blood circulation and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, which helps to slow down cellular aging. Another benefit is the decrease in blood glucose, aiding in diabetes control, as well as the positive effect against bad cholesterol and triglycerides.
Due to its unique properties, and being a source of essential amino acids, vitamins E, C, and B complex, as well as minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and manganese, yerba mate has been explored not only for traditional consumption, in mate or tereré, but also in other recipes, such as teas, energy drinks, foods and in the production of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals worldwide.
