About mate tea:

Mate tea is the traditional drink of the peoples of South America (especially in Argentina and Paraguay). Traditionally, it has become popular as a general health and mood booster, as well as a tea that enhances both physical and mental freshness. Thus, it can be used to boost the immune system, slow down signs of aging, purify the blood, reduce stress, and alleviate insomnia, while also boosting metabolism. Nowadays, mate tea has also come to the fore due to its positive effects on weight management: it can be considered a slimming beverage. Yerba mate has a thermogenic effect, which is why it is an excellent natural energy-boosting drink to accompany high-intensity workouts.

Effects of mate tea:

• on the nervous system: It acts as a regulator: it stimulates a tired nervous system and calms an overly excited one. Our knowledge regarding the effects of mate is currently limited, and observations have focused only on behavioral changes. According to this, vitality and concentration increased, while the tendency for nervousness, excitement, and anxiety, as well as mental and physical fatigue, decreased. It is an effective mood enhancer, especially for depression. This, of course, can be a direct or indirect result of the increased energy levels.
• on the stomach and intestines: The results attest to an immediate and significant improvement in digestion and the regeneration of damaged, diseased stomach and intestinal tissues. Occasional or chronic constipation can be easily eliminated by consuming mate. It seems that mate achieves its effect mainly by loosening intestinal contents, but to a certain extent, it also stimulates the normal movement of the bowels.
• on the heart: Many heart complaints have been prevented by consuming mate because it provides most of the nutrients necessary for heart function. Furthermore, it increases the heart's oxygen supply, especially during stress or physical exercise.
• on metabolism: Mate has become a favorite drink for bodybuilders and anyone involved in physical exercise. Among its effects on metabolism, it is worth mentioning that it maintains the breakdown of carbohydrates during exercise. This results in more calories burned, increases the efficiency of blood circulation, and inhibits the accumulation of lactic acid, i.e., muscle soreness. In Germany, it is also very popular as a general slimming agent.
• on the immune system: A recurring statement in South American literature is that mate strengthens the body's immune responses and increases natural resistance to diseases. This results in quick healing and recovery.

The main active ingredient in mate is mateine, a cousin of caffeine. It has a similar stimulating effect but does not cause addiction or insomnia. It similarly improves mental performance but lacks the dullness that occurs during the "crash" of caffeine. It regulates the nervous system, which is why both calming and stimulating effects can be experienced at the same time. It is very similar to green tea but contains far more micronutrients. It contains significant amounts of minerals (potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium), vitamins (vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, as well as riboflavin), and polyphenols. It was particularly quickly embraced by athletes and those working in IT. The former because mate maintains the breakdown of carbohydrates even during sports, which provides more energy while detoxifying and helping with weight loss. The latter because it increases mental performance without making one "jittery," and it does not interfere with sleep. Western medicine has not yet fully discovered mate, but initial experiences show that it has an immediate effect on damaged, diseased stomach and intestinal tissues. It also helps in their regeneration. It has also shown good results in the treatment of chronic constipation. It reduces the tendency for nervousness and depression and is a good mood enhancer. Mate tea contains high concentrations of polyphenol antioxidants.

According to the Journal of Food Science, dried mate leaves contain 92 mg of chlorogenic acid antioxidant per gram, without catechins, making its antioxidant properties significantly different from other teas. Some studies suggest that mate contains 90% more antioxidants than green tea.
