CinnaMâte™

Key Ingredients

• Yerba Mate

  Very recently receiving its due in the U.S., yerba mate has been widely used for centuries in South America. Mate contains a higher antioxidant profile than green tea, and is more nutritious. A bold statement, but true! With 24 vitamins and minerals, including Chromium and Pantothenic acid, 15 amino acids, and a number of other key plant compounds, Yerba Mate is among the most nutritious of all plants. In fact, even back in 1964 the Pasteur Institute in France declared, “…it is difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to mate in nutritional value.” Because of its unique nutritional profile, and the natural xanthine alkaloids in mate, including caffeine, Mate increases energy and mental focus without producing the “jittery” and “spike” effect of other natural caffeine-containing plants-not to mention artificial energy drinks.
