Yerba mate

South America is the natural home of the yerba mate plant. It is well recognized for its capacity to increase energy. According to research on animals, drinking yerba mate for four weeks drastically reduced food and fluid consumption and promoted weight reduction. One research in rats found that regular yerba mate use increased levels of the hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and leptin, which in turn helped reduce hunger, food intake, and body weight. Leptin is the hormone responsible for indicating fullness, whereas GLP-1 is a substance produced in the stomach that controls hunger. There is less hunger when their levels rise.

Yerba mate may help decrease hunger and appetite when combined with other nutrients, according to recent research. In fact, a study of 12 healthy women found that consuming 2 grams of yerba mate before engaging in a 30-minute cycling workout decreased hunger and even increased metabolism, attention, and energy. Yerba mate seems to be risk-free and has no significant adverse effects.
