Learn about the history of yerba mate and what happens when you drink Unimate

We drink it in the mornings to start the day. It’s our go-to in the afternoons when we need extra help focusing. We all have our favorite times to drink Unimate—because its benefits are varied and far reaching.

You’ve heard about the benefits of Unimate, which might have you wondering what’s actually happening inside your body when you drink Unimate. What is it about Unimate that makes it so popular?

To understand what makes Unimate work, let’s dive into the history of its main ingredient: yerba mate.

History of yerba mate

People have been drinking yerba mate for a long time. Centuries, in fact. The plant is native to South America, where it became well known for its ability to support mental clarity, endurance, appetite control, focus, and an improved mood.

Yerba mate is a natural source of caffeine and contains polyphenols, which have strong antioxidant properties. It has evolved to be naturally rich in other phytochemicals and compounds as well, including chlorogenic acids, mate saponins, and theobromine. These compounds are known to support healthy brain function, support mood and focus, and promote feelings of calm.

Little wonder, then, that yerba was referred to as “the drink of the gods” when it was first discovered, and that its popularity hasn’t waned since.

Not your regular plant

If that seems like a lot for one little plant to take on on its own, well, it is. One of the reasons yerba mate can do so much is because it is an adaptogen. Adaptogens are a special kind of plant that help your body adapt to occasional external stressors. They can help you be more alert, focused, and calm during situations you need the support most.

This is why yerba mate drinks like Unimate can both energize and calm you. Most energy drinks come with a cost—high sugar content, a quick spike of energy followed by a crash, just to name a few—but  without the drawbacks.

What sets Unimate apart from other yerba mate drinks

For decades, Unicity’s spirit of exploration and curiosity has led to the creation of science-based products that help people achieve better lives. It is this innovative drive that led to Unimate, the best yerba mate drink available.

To increase its benefits and effectiveness, Unimate’s yerba mate leaves undergo a unique and rigorous purification process. The result is high-quality, concentrated, ultra-pure yerba mate powder unparalleled in the market.

Are there any side effects to Unimate?

Unimate is recommended for any adult who is looking to support their focus or improve mood, fend off cravings and reenergize between meals, or start their day (or even a workout) strong without having to worry about jittery effects or an energy crash later.

Unimate doesn’t have any known side effects, with one caveat. If you are sensitive to caffeine, we recommend reducing the amount you drink (say, a half a packet instead of a full packet) and to not drink it at night. A serving of Unimate contains about the same amount of caffeine as a premium cup of coffee, so keep that in mind as you drink.

In addition, Unimate is not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers due to the caffeine content. If you have questions about whether or not Unimate is right for you, reach out to your healthcare provider.
