Mate, meaning "calabash" in Quetchua, comes from Yerba Mate, a tree native to South America. Its leaves are used to make mate, a drink traditionally consumed to eliminate fatigue and enhance good mood.
Thanks to their high caffeine content, Mate leaves have a stimulating effect. Served as an infusion, they improve cognitive performance and reduce fatigue. In addition, Mate has an appetite suppressant action, which is why it generally accompanies diets; it facilitates weight loss without causing frustration.
