It has been consumed for centuries by the indigenous peoples of this region and was traditionally used in ceremonies involving singing and dancing. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The leaves are dried and ground into a powder that can be steeped like tea or brewed with hot water &#8211; like an herbal infusion. It\u2019s often mixed with other ingredients such as sugar. This drink can have either stimulating or sedating effects depending on how much you consume.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we\u2019re going to take a look at the health effects of yerba mate and whether or not you need to be concerned with its safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Mate_Tea_Facts_Health_Benefits_And_Side_Effects\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mate_Tea_Nutrition_Facts\"><\/span><b>Mate Tea Nutrition Facts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What exactly does mate tea contain?

It also increases your metabolic rate, so you burn calories faster, resulting in weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Provides_You_With_A_Full-Body_Cleanse\"><\/span><b>Provides You With A Full-Body Cleanse<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way yerba mate helps cleanse your body is through its diuretic properties (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ift.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1750-3841.2007.00535.x\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Diuretics increase urination, which removes excess fluids from your body along with any toxins or wastes that may have been stored in these fluids. This flushes out extra salt, proteins, and electrolytes that are harmful to your body (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1258\/acb.2011.011281\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you stop taking diuretics, these toxins and excess liquids can build up again, causing retention issues. Yerba mate tea can prevent this because the water you drink with it stays in your system for longer periods. This means all the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lavender-chamomile-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">nutrients<\/a> you\u2019re consuming are slowly filtered through your kidneys, so there won\u2019t be a large concentration of them at any one time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boosts_Your_Immune_System\"><\/span><b>Boosts Your Immune System<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another well-known benefit of yerba mate tea is that it can boost your immune system and help protect you against colds and other infections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It contains several nutrients that have been shown to fight off disease-causing organisms, such as (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3614697\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selenium<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zinc<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iron<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin C<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/ginger-cinnamon-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">Ginger Cinnamon Tea Facts, Health Benefits And Side Effects<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_replacement\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33318 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4732-1024x576.png\" alt=\"benefits of lavender chamomile tea\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4732.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4732-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4732.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4732-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4732.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mate_Tea_Side_Effects\"><\/span><b>Mate Tea Side Effects<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most things, too much yerba mate <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/oolong-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">tea<\/a> can have negative consequences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the mate tea side effects to watch out for include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutrient_Deficiencies\"><\/span><b>Nutrient Deficiencies<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A potentially dangerous side effect of drinking yerba mate tea too often is the possibility of developing nutrient deficiencies. If you\u2019re only taking in liquids, it can be difficult to get all the nutrients you need each day. This will lead to long-term health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People have reported becoming anemic after consuming large amounts of yerba mate tea for a prolonged period. They experienced this because the high levels of tannins in the leaves bind with proteins in your system and prevent them from being used efficiently by your body (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29955693\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anemia occurs when there are fewer red blood cells in your bloodstream than normal, or they don\u2019t contain enough hemoglobin. This causes you to develop fatigue and other symptoms associated with nutrient deficiencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also possible that yerba mate can cause mineral deficiencies, such as calcium and magnesium. This is because they bind together and could be excreted from your body in the form of urine. Eat a healthy diet to counteract this side effect by consuming other nutrient-rich foods like kale, spinach, broccoli, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, oatmeal, or walnuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also add some type of bone broth to your diet to ensure you\u2019re getting adequate amounts of important minerals like potassium, sodium, and phosphorus. These nutrients will help keep your bones strong and prevent them from becoming brittle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increased_Risk_Of_Respiratory_And_Digestive_Tract_Cancers\"><\/span><b>Increased Risk Of Respiratory And Digestive Tract Cancers<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mate contains carcinogens that have been linked to causing respiratory and digestive tract cancers (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19695149\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The levels of these compounds are much higher than what\u2019s found in other teas. Drinking mate tea regularly could put you at risk for developing cancerous cells in your mouth, esophagus, stomach, lungs, or pancreas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caffeine-Related_Side_Effects\"><\/span><b>Caffeine-Related Side Effects<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to remember that although it has less caffeine than coffee, yerba mate does contain caffeine. Caffeine can have a stimulating effect on your central nervous system. This can lead to restlessness, irritability, and rapid heart rate if you drink excessively. It could also interfere with your sleep patterns or cause insomnia if you drink it too late in the day (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyt.2017.00080\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_replacement\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32991 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/9-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"grapefruit diet\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/9-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/9-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/9-1.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/9-1-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/9-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interaction_With_Medicines\"><\/span><b>Interaction With Medicines<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re taking any medications, you should also be careful because yerba mate contains an alkaloid called mateine that can interfere with how your body absorbs some types of drugs or increase their effectiveness. It may also reduce the negative side effects of some diabetic medications if taken before meals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofmolecules.com\/drugs\/caffeine.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also talk with your doctor before using medicinal teas like yerba mate if you have any type of serious medical issue like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or cancer. If you decide to use this type of tea medicinally, be sure to consult with your physician about the best dosage for treating your condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lean and toned up body isn\u2019t just a far-fetched fantasy.

If this is the case, you should avoid yerba mate tea because it could fall into a pattern of habitual use. If this happens, you may find yourself unable to stop drinking yerba mate even though it isn\u2019t doing any good for your health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unhealthy_Additives_In_Store-Bought_Brands\"><\/span><b>Unhealthy Additives In Store-Bought Brands<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important that you check ingredients labels if you buy yerba mate at a health food store because it could have some unwanted additives if they\u2019re not listed on the label. This is why it\u2019s better to grow yerba mate yourself instead of buying it from someone else if possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find some growing tips online but keep in mind that you must maintain good soil quality and only harvest leaves when they are young, so they contain fewer tannins. You should also try to avoid harvesting leaves when they\u2019re wet because yerba mate plants contain rotenone, which is a poisonous substance that can make you sick.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Harsh_On_Your_Digestive_System\"><\/span><b>Harsh On Your Digestive System<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like black tea and red wine, there are some health risks associated with drinking yerba mate tea too often because it contains tannins. Tannins are compounds found in certain plants that have been shown to have antioxidant properties but are also known for being harsh on your digestive system. They can interfere with your body&#8217;s ability to absorb important nutrients, cause diarrhea or constipation, and irritate the lining of your mouth (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cdn\/article\/1\/2\/1\/4558629\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This makes it harder to eat the food you need for optimal health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking mate tea can be a refreshing and energizing experience, but you need to drink it in moderation; otherwise, it can have some unwanted long-term effects. Make sure not to overdo it and to also pay attention to what\u2019s in your yerba mate if you buy it from a store. It should be free of additives and contain only the natural leaves of yerba mate that you steep in hot water. If you\u2019re concerned about the amount of caffeine in your diet, consider switching from black tea to green tea instead since it has a lower concentration of this stimulant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <section class=\"ad-single-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-title-wrapper\">\n            <h3 class=\"ad-single-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_personalized\"><\/span>Get your personalized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n            <span class=\"ad-single-sub-title color-green\">\n                <svg class=\"icon-sparkle\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M34.6837 0.515943C34.8247 0.835947 34.9421 1.16291 34.9891 1.48987C35.1417 2.64466 35.3179 6.51949 35.2592 7.29863C35.2592 7.53515 35.1887 7.7995 35.0243 8.01516C34.7307 8.39777 33.9791 8.4256 33.5681 8.07081C33.4154 7.94559 33.3215 7.77863 33.2745 7.61863C33.1453 7.15254 33.0396 6.68645 32.9809 6.22035C32.8165 4.81512 32.6638 3.40293 32.5581 1.9977C32.5229 1.53161 32.6051 1.05856 32.6991 0.592466C32.7695 0.244637 33.251 -0.0197144 33.6973 0.00115537C34.2257 0.0289818 34.5546 0.230723 34.6837 0.515943ZM18.6184 9.78225C18.5734 9.67557 18.5344 9.57528 18.4971 9.47956C18.4178 9.27568 18.3465 9.09257 18.2426 8.91267C16.7159 6.24133 14.2615 3.86217 11.4665 1.60128C11.1377 1.33693 10.7267 1.08649 10.2687 0.919531C10.0221 0.829095 9.52885 0.843009 9.247 0.933445C9.03562 1.00301 8.88295 1.27432 8.92992 1.42736C9.01213 1.71954 9.18828 2.01868 9.4349 2.28303C11.0555 4.02913 12.6879 5.76829 14.3437 7.50048C14.8308 8.0068 15.3395 8.50887 15.8473 9.01L15.8473 9.01001C15.9883 9.14921 16.1293 9.28833 16.2697 9.42746C16.4811 9.64311 16.7159 9.85181 16.9626 10.0466C17.2327 10.2692 17.6437 10.4014 18.0547 10.2553C18.0691 10.2501 18.0836 10.245 18.0981 10.2399C18.1097 10.2358 18.1213 10.2318 18.1329 10.2278C18.3785 10.1424 18.6184 10.0589 18.6184 9.78225ZM1.98942 20.1407C2.17783 20.1221 2.37674 20.105 2.58175 20.0875C2.99012 20.0525 3.42272 20.0154 3.84492 19.9598C6.34632 19.6259 8.84771 19.292 11.3374 18.9442C11.8776 18.8676 12.406 18.7355 12.8875 18.5824C13.5334 18.3807 13.7566 18.0954 13.6509 17.7824C13.5452 17.4694 13.1224 17.2746 12.3826 17.2676C11.8776 17.2607 11.3374 17.2676 10.8559 17.3372C7.69683 17.8102 4.5378 18.2972 1.3905 18.7911C1.03819 18.8468 0.674137 18.9442 0.404034 19.0833C-0.2771 19.4242 -0.065712 19.9598 0.803314 20.092C1.01858 20.1228 1.25262 20.1258 1.51135 20.1291C1.66195 20.131 1.82092 20.133 1.98942 20.1407Z\"\n                          fill=\"#17B991\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n               meal plan!\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-desc-wrapper\">\n            <p class=\"ad-single-desc\">What's your main health goal?<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Mate_Tea_Facts_Health_Benefits_And_Side_Effects\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Lose weight<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Mate_Tea_Facts_Health_Benefits_And_Side_Effects\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Feel great<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <img class=\"ad-single-img\" alt=\"health-food\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/health-food.webp\">\n    <\/section>\n<p><iframe title=\"BetterMe | Create Happines now\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xLxjdQ4DYdg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DISCLAIMER\"><\/span><b>DISCLAIMER:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances.
