Yerba mate

Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is a botanical from the leaves of Ilex paraguariensis, supplied by Nustras as a leaf powder and as a standardised extract. Naturally containing caffeine along with polyphenols and saponins, it is widely used in energy, metabolic- and antioxidant formulations.

Yerba mate is formulated into energy and pre-workout supplements, weight-management and metabolic-support products, functional beverages and energy drinks, and antioxidant blends, in capsules, tablets, powders and liquids.

The material is a green to brown leaf powder or extract, standardised to its caffeine or polyphenol content to order. Identity and marker assay are by HPLC; heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies yerba mate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags or fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Yerba mate is an accepted food and botanical ingredient in major markets; because it contains caffeine, buyers confirm the caffeine contribution, standardisation and claim for their product.
