Actually I simply quoted the research. I don't use it myself. However, I have seen some good research - Yerba mate tea has been found to decrease neuropathic pain associated with chemotherapy. Also Yerba maté contains high contents of vitamins A, C, and E, which are potent antioxidants.

I cannot find the negative studies. Pushkin?

A: Yerba Mate is generally considered to be a safe and nutritive beverage. It contains potent antioxidants and a variety of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It contains a mild stimulant called mateine, which is usually well tolerated even by those sensitive to caffeine. For more detailed information, you may be interested in our comprehensive packet of information on Yerba Mate. Please click the link for more information.

A: Yerba mate, also known as mate tea, contains about 5 to 10 mg of caffeine (less than tea and much less than coffee), but it still has mild stimulating qualities. It is not sold as an herbal supplement in any form other than tea. How much is too much? It depends on your personal constitution and how many other forms of caffeine you are ingesting. I would suggest no more than one or two cups a day. Excessive amounts of any stimulant can result in insomnia, restlessness or anxiety. We do offer a comprehensive packet of information on Yerba mate. Click the link for more information.
