Tucanguá Organic Yerba Mate

Yerba Mate is a South American specialty with more than 400 years of history. It is made from the leaves of a natural shrub from Argentina, Ilex paraguariensis. With a naturally smooth and aromatic taste, Yerba Mate contains 11 types of antioxidants, 8 vitamins such as vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, and 18 types of proteins needed by the body, helping to support immune health. Its active ingredients, including polyphenols and flavonoids, provide antioxidant benefits and may help support healthy blood sugar levels. Studies have found that the polyphenol activity of Yerba Mate may be more notable than that of green tea and grape juice. 
 
In addition, two studies conducted by The University of São Paulo, Brazil in 2005 and 2009 on blood lipids and Yerba Mate found that Yerba Mate may help lower vascular cholesterol and support heart health. Today, Yerba Mate is one of the world’s three major beverages and is a healthy tea suitable for people of all ages. 
 
Healthier than coffee 
Nobel Prize in Medicine winner Dr. Bernardo Houssay recommended the mateine found in Yerba Mate as a superior alternative to caffeine. It provides a refreshing effect but is less likely to cause side effects often associated with caffeine or tea, such as insomnia or palpitations. Since ordinary Yerba Mate contains only a very small amount of caffeine, it is considered a healthier choice than coffee. 
 
More effective than ordinary tea 
In a market study conducted by the University of Illinois in May 2009, Yerba Mate was found to contain more than twice the amount of antioxidants and tea polyphenols compared with 15 tea products on the market, including black tea and green tea. This suggests that Yerba Mate may provide stronger antioxidant support and help manage the “three highs” more effectively than commonly consumed teas, making it a better-value and higher-quality choice.
