energy boost
 Yerba Maté has been consumed for centuries in South
America and is lauded for its ability to boost energy

the side effects that caffeine brings;
 theobromine (euphoric stimulant associated with chocolate);
 and theophylline (primary stimulant in green tea).

boost that is more balanced than any current caffeinated
beverage in the marketplace.

and minerals.
