One of the references I quickly found, that have more references. There's some studies from universities from south of Brazil and Embrapa that is a institution that oversees research on things related to agriculture. People there drink for the entire life, like myself. I grew up in the south Brazil, we share the same strong passion for things with Yerba Mate (Erva Mate in portuguese). Anyways, definitely worth the squeeze, but don't be surprised if you need to try a few different brands to see which affects you the best. I'd assume its due to different concentrations in the three primary Xanthines - Caffeine, Theobromine, Theophylline. I'd like to send the different brands off to a lab to have a better understanding of WHY I feel such a difference in the effects when going brand to brand. Although I do lose some endurance performance on the high end when drinking Yerba Mate before running which I've tracked with a chest mounted heart rate tracker. I've been drinking them twice a day with no perceivable ill effects. Taragui Liviana and my new favorite Playaditos are the best for me. Lately Union Suave and Rosamonte have not been sitting well in my stomach or mind (irritability, lack of concentration, tension headaches, etc). I notice that there is a huge difference between Yerba Mate brands in terms of the perceived effects. Those are some things to look out for - heartburn, sinusitis, negative changes in mood, tension headaches. I drank tons in college but took a multi-year break a few years down the line due to reflux issues that it made worse. I'm American but have been drinking it frequently since the time I was 14 or so. Coming from an Argentine family Yerba Mate is great.
