Yerba Mate

What is it?

Yerba mate, also called mate, is a popular drink similar to coffee or tea. It's made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant and contains caffeine.

Caffeine and other chemicals in yerba mate can stimulate the brain, heart, muscles lining blood vessels, and other parts of the body.

People use yerba mate for athletic performance, memory and thinking skills, headache, fatigue, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Using yerba mate long-term, especially with alcohol or nicotine, has been linked to an increased risk of various types of cancer, including stomach, kidney, lung, and mouth cancer. Don't confuse yerba mate with caffeine or other caffeine sources, such as green tea, black tea, and guarana.

How effective is it?

There is interest in using yerba mate for a number of purposes, but there isn't enough reliable information to say whether it might be helpful.

Is it safe?

When taken by mouth: Yerba mate is possibly safe when used for up to 12 weeks. Yerba mate contains caffeine, which can cause side effects such as insomnia, upset stomach, increased heart rate, and others.

Yerba mate is possibly unsafe when taken in large amounts or for long periods of time. Drinking large amounts of yerba mate (1-2 liters daily) for a long time increases the risk of some types of cancer. This risk is especially high for people who smoke or drink alcohol. Consuming more than 10 cups daily might also increase the risk of serious caffeine-related side effects.

Special precautions & warnings:

Pregnancy: Yerba mate is possibly unsafe when taken by mouth during pregnancy. Yerba mate seems to increase the risk of getting cancer. It's not known whether that risk is transferred to the fetus. Yerba mate also contains caffeine. Avoid consuming more than 300 mg of caffeine daily (about 6 cups of yerba mate) when pregnant. High doses of caffeine have been linked with miscarriage, premature delivery, and low birth weight.

Breast-feeding: Yerba mate is possibly unsafe when taken by mouth while breast-feeding. It's not known whether the cancer-causing chemicals in yerba mate pass into breast milk. Also, the caffeine in yerba mate might cause irritability and increased bowel movements in nursing infants.

Children: Yerba mate is possibly unsafe when taken by mouth in children. Yerba mate is linked with an increased risk of some types of cancer.

Alcohol use disorder: Consuming yerba mate with large amounts of alcohol long-term seems to increase the risk of cancer.

Anxiety disorders: The caffeine in yerba mate might make anxiety disorders worse.

Bleeding disorders: Caffeine might slow clotting. The caffeine in yerba mate might make bleeding disorders worse. But so far, this effect has not been reported in people.

Heart conditions: Caffeine in yerba mate can cause irregular heartbeats in certain people. If you have a heart condition, use yerba mate in moderation.

Diabetes: The caffeine in yerba mate might affect blood sugar. Use yerba mate with caution if you have diabetes.

Diarrhea: Yerba mate contains caffeine. The caffeine in yerba mate, especially when taken in large amounts, can worsen diarrhea.

Seizures: Yerba mate contains caffeine. High doses of caffeine might cause seizures or decrease the effects of drugs used to prevent seizures. If you have ever had a seizure, don't take high doses of caffeine.

Glaucoma: Using yerba mate increases the pressure inside the eye due to the caffeine it contains. The increase in pressure occurs within 30 minutes and lasts for at least 90 minutes. If you have glaucoma, discuss your use of yerba mate with your healthcare provider.

High blood pressure: Yerba mate contains caffeine. Drinking caffeine might increase blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. However, this effect might be less in people who drink caffeine regularly.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Yerba mate contains caffeine. The caffeine in yerba mate, especially when taken in large amounts, can worsen diarrhea and might worsen symptoms of IBS.

Weak bones (osteoporosis): Yerba mate contains caffeine. Caffeine can increase the amount of calcium that is flushed out in the urine. This might weaken bones. If you have osteoporosis, don't drink more than 6 cups of yerba mate daily. If you are generally healthy and get enough calcium from your food or supplements, drinking about 8-10 cups of yerba mate daily doesn't seem to increase the risk of getting osteoporosis.

Smoking: Consuming yerba mate and also smoking long-term seems to increase the risk of getting cancer.
