Yerba Mate is made from a leaf of the Ilex Paraquariensis tree, which is cultivated in South America. The leaves are dried, crushed and made into a tea. For centuries it has been drank in place of coffee. The Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific Society have done studies on Yerba Mate and concluded that it contains practically all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life. Due to it's nutritional value and the fact it contains matenine which is similar to caffeine without the additive properties it has been called nature's most perfect beverage. Studies have been conducted all over the world on Yerba Mate to examine the nutrients and the health benefits. Daniel Mowrey Ph.D. wrote the book Yerba Mate Unequaled Natural Nutrition. He states, there is the usual array of resins, fiber1, volatile oil, and tannins that characterize many plant substances. But then there is the growing list of vitamins and minerals; including carotene, vitamin A, C, D, B1, B2, B Complex, riboflavin, nicotine acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin C complex, magnesium, calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, manganese, silicon, phosphates, sulfur, hydrochloric acid, chlorophyll, choline, inositol.
Yerba Mate is high in antioxidants. It has 1500 g. per 8oz. serving. In Europe Yerba Mate has been used widely for weight loss and now had been introduced world wide into weight loss products and drinks for increased energy. I carry Yerba Mate in it's pure form- the leaf with nothing added. Dr. James Balch M.D. recommends Yerba Mate for obesity, stress, constipation, fluid retention and fatigue. The Yerba Mate contains 15 different amino Acids. Studies have shown it helps with fat loss and water retention. It enables the body to release these. More studies are being conducted on Yerba Mate for it's natural health benefits. The studies to date show that it aids with boosting the immunity, detoxifying the body, toning the nervous system, metabolizing fat for weight loss, increasing the metabolize system naturally, helping insomnia, restoring youthful hair color, retarding aging, increasing libido and increasing energy without the additive properties of caffeine. It may just be as stated the perfect beverage. I have been drinking Yerba Mate for over year and it is one of the most popular of my customers. Many have switched from coffee to Yerba Mate.
