Ingredients explained
Caffeine (from yerba mate leaf extract)
Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors and increases catecholamine activity, which may enhance alertness and perceived energy.
Caution: Limit total caffeine from all sources to avoid jitteriness, rapid heartbeat, or sleep disruption; consider avoiding close to bedtime.
Chlorogenic acids (from yerba mate leaf extract)
Chlorogenic acids act as polyphenol antioxidants that may help neutralise free radicals and influence glucose and fat metabolism pathways.
Caution: May affect tolerance in those sensitive to acidic compounds or caffeine-containing plants; start with a low serving to assess response.
Methylxanthines other than caffeine (from yerba mate leaf extract)
Compounds such as theobromine may provide mild central nervous system and vascular effects that can contribute to perceived energy and focus.
Caution: Stimulant-like effects may be additive with other caffeine sources; monitor for restlessness or palpitations.
Polyphenols (from yerba mate leaf extract)
Plant polyphenols function as antioxidants that can help counter oxidative stress and support cellular defences.
Caution: In high amounts, polyphenols may cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food if sensitive.
How they work together
Caffeine and other methylxanthines influence neurotransmission and perceived energy, while chlorogenic acids and broader polyphenols provide antioxidant activity. Together they cover stimulant effects and oxidative balance from the same botanical extract.
