First, I love the saying that Mate is the "drink of hospitality in South America." Second, there have been some very interesting studies done with Yerba Mate -capsules- where if taking 6 500mg capsules there is an association with weight loss and especially appetite suppression. It functions much the same way (though not as acute) as GLP-1 like Ozempic/semaglutide which is all the rage right now.
