Yerba Mate: VC2

[knwr]

it's kinda weird that a south american chemical engineer does not know that mateine, or "matiena", is the same chemical as caffeine...

[MATEFACTOR]

In the US you should try our matefactor brand mate. It's the good stuff. search for mate factor.

[Ghaiyst]

They put this stuff in Sobe! that why I love sobe so much!

[Unzaman]

HeY! Any Argentina Girls here? Need one for making me mate every morning!

[Trakehner20]

I work 3rd shift (in US) 11pm-7am, and I swear it makes me feel better, even when I'm super tired. I'm not nervous with it like I am with coffee.

[commentguy69]

Its kinda nasty at the beginning but then you love it,its like a drug its taste bad then its good lol

[michetox]

First, mate isn't a stimulant drink. Second, who drinks mate after a night of hard partying? ....

[Psycho1d]

@michetox It IS a stimulant drink. Or else it wouldn't keep me awake in situations where Red Bull failed at it. And I do drink it after a night of hard partying (after a night of sleep, of course). Any bit of hangover goes away.

[pauentinta]

@michetox mate IS a stimulant drink. we argentinians use it the same way in other countries it is used tea of coffe, only that mate has also a social function: you gather with your friends to drink mate. And you're right, actually we drink coffe after a night of "hard partying"...

[JahRed24x]

I love Yerba Mate btw... Its way better then coffee and normal "tea." "Yerbá Mate" is the only "stimulant" that I ever ingest cuz its one of the only legal stimulants that actually works pretty good!

[JahRed24x]

why are South Americans so obsessed with their "Stimulant" plants? (example: Cocaine, Yerba Mater, etc...)

[whiteninjaz88]

if you drink enough it makes you feel energized yet chill at the same time, it's nice.

[sebek23b]

greetings form poland for every yerba mate drinker!!!

[Wiktorw4r]

TROCHE POLSKIEGO AKCENTU :) YERBA PYSZNA JEST :) POZDRO ;)

[gamrkidd]

I drink it too. discovered it at Fresh & Easy here In SoCal. i thought it was just like another type of tea.. the bag it came in has an illustration of the Rainforest,, Guayakí brand yerba mate. I am brewing a cup of iced Mate right now as i type,, i drink it with cane sugar and sometimes a bit of vanilla soymilk,, my attempt at a mate latte ha! it tastes strong and somewhat toasted almost indescribable. hot or cold.. i dont really feel too much of an effect. but today ive had 6 mate tea bags!

[losmetateguys]

tomo mucho mate pero esta chava en el negro esta SOBRE estimulado!

[favbeats]

mmm mate sin azucar....no sugar hehe

[evrithnguneed]

I find that mate is most effective when consumed in the afternoon, especially after lunch. In the morning I drink coffee, because mate doesn't seem to give as much of a physical stimulation as coffee does, which gets me going in the AM, but mate is superior IMO in effect overall. Great for relaxing with friends, or for getting your mind right when important tasks that require concentration & acute mental processing speed come up.

[nirvgardengod]

that woman in yellow is hooooot! sign me up for a cup,,,

[estesoyojajaja]

@nirvgardengod what about the other one6 The one with glasses?

[1979fedex]

in south america mate means a symbol of friendship... everybody drink mate with friends or family

[silverbackman]

I've had an enhanced version of yerba mate which contained medical cannabis.....it was pretty nice. A lot less side effects than coffee.

[St37One]

It's just caffeine.

no better

no worse

no chemical difference what so ever.

[Donmob]

drink it and you see that it is different.

The combination of caffeine, theobromine and theophylline makes it unique.

[St37One]

try ingesting it in a controlled double blind study to compare it with caffieine, and see if you can tell the difference reliably.

[Donmob]

ok, i'll do it. btw. of course there is a difference, cause there is more than caffeine. it's not the only effective ingredient.

the caffeine in yerba mate is just caffeine (that's clear) but there is also other active compounds.

[ThePengPengBand]

Thats WRONG...

In Yerba mate there is:

Caffeine

Theobromine (euphoric part)

Theophylline (like in green tea)

Xanthine

All together is called "Mateine"

[vwbugforlife]

In the summer try drinking it with sprite instead of hot water, very refreshing.

[InLakechAlaKin]

I love Yerba Mate (Matay)! I drink it everyday. Pretty much everything that needs to be said about Mate was covered in this video. Mateneine (sp) and caffeine are almost identical, but the feeling your get from Mate is superior to that of a coffee IMO.

However if you want to sweeten up your Mate (the first cup is always the bitterest) then I think it's best to use an agave nectar, blackstrap molasses, or raw honey. Stevia and raw sugar taste pretty good, but not as good IMO.

[XxCaMeRoNxX]

i jsut went to argentina and they had these things everywhere. i tried it and i didnt think it was that great but my brothers go ape shit for these things. they brought like at least 8 bags to the states. LOL

[jasonverlaine]

mate power! i stopped drinking coffee and now wakeup every morning with mate.

***PLEASE HELP STOP the Genocide in Gaza!!!****

In less than 3 weeks Israeli militants have

killed more than 300 children.

They are targeting civilians.

PLEASE HELP STOP the Genocide in Gaza!

Get informed, use alternate medias.

Do anything you can do.

[therickpman]

your alternate medias must be wrong because ISREAL IS NOT THE BAD GUY! they've been geting attacked and bombed for years and no media seems to care, but once they start retaliating for being attacked they somehow are deemed the bad guy and evil militants. YOU need to get your information strait, this is not a genocide. They are defending themselves from an evil regime.

[St37One]

The party that is seen as more prosperous is always the bad guy.

That is how the politics of sympathy, victimhood, envy, and sabbotage works.

Its not what you did, its who you are.

Victimhood is a consolation prize and suffering is the only way to get it. WWII is becoming irrelevant. People don't want to help winners.

Dont believe me? Try claiming that your wife/gf abuses you, and see if the local womyn's shelter will support you. Try calling the police to report an incidence of abuse.

[javissar22]

In order to do that you must first stop the terroism in Israel. And don't tell me its "resistance" my aunt was killed by a suicide bomber 3 years ago in a grocery market in Jerusalem. As far as Im concerned, the Palestinians made their bed and now they have to lie in it.
