Yerba Mate is a sought after source of difficult to find important nutrients: Vitamins B-1, B-2, A, riboflavin, carotene, colin, pantothenic acid, inositol and 15 types of amino acids (F. Alikaridis 1987). It also contains significant quantities of the all important iron, potassium, and magnesium minerals, something Green Tea lacks. As noted by The Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific Society, "It is difficult to find a plant in any area of the world equal to Mate in nutritional value."
If you know that 3 grams of regular tea is healthy for you, then discover the proven health benefits from 50 grams of Yerba Mate.
You get the best results from Yerba Mate if you use a special gourd and straw or YerbaCup. Using Yerba Mate this way brings you nutrients "which are usually not attained with green tea" (Bixby, 2005: Life Science)
