I know there has been information about this on the boards before, but when I searched I found no results. Does anyone drink this tea and find that is actually does help with energy?? I have terrible fatigue all the time in spite of plenty of sleep/vitamins/exercise/diet. I assume my body is just tired from working so hard at digestion! Anyone drink yerba mate, and if so what are your results?

on a number of occassions but I don't drink it regularly. It's really tasty! And yes, it will affect you kind of like caffeine. Just don't expect a jolt like you'd get from a strong cup of coffee (it's probalby more of a black tea-ish jolt ) But I remember Heather recommended it to a truck driver with IBS on the boards a while back to help him stay alert while driving late nights - so it must do something significant!

Another thought - are you getting enough protein in your diet? Whenever I find that I'm getting really run down despite eating seemingly well/exercising/drinking water etc. it's usually a sign that I need to have some more protein. Just a thought!

HTH!
