Discover Yerbe Mate for energy

I’m always on the quest to find an alternative to coffee. Don’t get me wrong, I love coffee and the buzz, but I can only have 1 a day or I get the jitters. I also don’t want stained teeth and want to have a more alkalized body (to help me reverse the grey hairs!). After some research, I discovered Yerbe Mate, a herb from South America. So here are some facts on this fantastic herb for natural sustained energy.

Yerba Mate is a vegetal, earthy, bittersweet, and herbaceous plant popularly consumed in Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay. Yerba Mate is more popular in South America, which is believed to be the origin of the herb.
