Yerba Maté 90 X 500mg Vegicaps

This beautiful natural green tea (pronounced yurba mah-tay) should become part of the daily ritual for anyone interested in maintaining optimum health. Across the whole of South America millions of men, women and children know Yerba Maté as a simple and effective way of staying in peak condition. Besides being refreshing and stimulating, Maté is packed with nutrients and anti-oxidants: vitamins A, C and E, for instance, and many of the vitamins in the B complex. It is rich in minerals – iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulphur and silica among them. And the array of polyphenols has caught a lot of attention, as these plant complexes are valuable anti-oxidants, supporting the immune system, and overpowering the free radicals which are a natural result of cellular activity but also can destroy tissue and interrupt body systems. Scientists from the Pasteur Institute in Paris concluded that Maté contains practically all the vitamins necessary to maintain life. Indeed it is hard to find a plant anywhere in the world that equals Maté in nutritional value.

Yerba Maté is a South American tree that is cultivated to produce a green leaf tea. It contains many vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, vitamin C, and many important B-complex vitamins. Maté also provides fifteen amino acids, plant sterols and saponins. It is a very good source of antioxidants called polyphenols - providing higher levels than Green tea.

Yerba Maté contains naturally occuring caffeine (between 0.7-2%) but because the caffeine is part of a complex called Mateine it is noticeably different in its effects to tea or coffee.

Yerba Maté is especially valuable as a tonic for those with busy lifestyles. It provides many nutrients, controls appetite, can combat physical and mental fatigue. Yerba Maté capsules can be used as an antioxidant supplement - or, like Green tea capsules, can be used to contribute to the maintenance of a healthy body weight.
