DESCRIPTION
Yerba mate comes from a plant native to South America, where it has been
consumed in community rituals for hundreds of years. Naturally rich in
antioxidants and nutrients, yerba mate has been traditionally used to promote
mental clarity, endurance, and appetite control, and an improved mood.
Unimate contains a proprietary yerba mate extract that enhances those
beneficial effects. This drink contains naturally occurring caffeine and up to 10
times the amount of chlorogenic acid found in a premium cup of coffee.
Unimate's yerba mate undergoes a unique five-step process–handpicking, fire
roasting, extracting, concentrating, and purifying. The result is a powerful
beverage that boosts the mood and heightens mental stamina, focus,
motivation, and endurance.
BENEFITS AND RESEARCH
Unimate™ is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and secondary metabolites
such as chlorogenic acids and triterpenoid saponins. Chlorogenic acids and
triterpenoid saponins found in Unimate™ have been documented in the
scientific literature to support healthy gene expression in the body.
Clinical studies show that Unimate™ has the ability to promote a healthy mood.
Psychological well-being in a group of subjects, assessed using the Oxford
Happiness Questionnaire, was increased by 20% after taking Unimate™. The
mode of action of this result is likely due to the ability of chlorogenic acids to
support healthy mood and cognition—as previously reported elsewhere in the
scientific literature.
An additional clinical study demonstrated the ability of Unimate™ to maintain
healthy blood-lipid and blood glucose levels in the body. A 12% reduction of
total cholesterol, 5% reduction of LDL cholesterol, and 11% reduction of
triglycerides was observed in a group of subjects who took Unimate™ once
daily for 30 days. Additionally, a 5% reduction in fasting blood-glucose and a
3% reduction in HbA1c levels was also observed in this same group.
Other clinical studies have validated the ability of Unimate™ to support healthy
weight loss in the body due to the ability of Yerba Mate triterpenoid saponins to
support healthy gene expression of anti-obesity related genes.1
