Powerful Antioxidant

• They stop cellular aging: These compounds increase the body's natural defenses, by preventing the daily cellular attacks that cause the body to deteriorate.
• Prevent the growth of cancer cells: By fighting cell aging, antioxidants also help prevent certain types of cancer.
• They decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease: In addition, antioxidants prevent coronary and cerebrovascular diseases because they prevent atherosclerosis

Energizing Effect
Because of the xanthines it contains, yerba mate infusion is a natural source of energy that stimulates intellectual and physical effort. Xanthines (caffeine, theobromine) are compounds that stimulate the Central Nervous System (CNS). This stimulation translates into excitement, dominating and regulating intellectual and muscular effort, making it ideal for people who perform sports or both physical and mental activities.

Antihypercholesterolemic action
Due to their antihypercholesterolemic action, saponins present in yerba mate infusion reduce the amount of low-density lipoproteins in the blood. Thanks to the fact that these compounds interact with cholesterol and bile acids, mixed varieties are formed that cause the elimination of cholesterol by hindering its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
