Mate Tea Extract

Mate Tea Extract – Natural Energy and Antioxidant Booster

Product Overview

Mate Tea Extract is a natural botanical extract obtained from the leaves of Ilex paraguariensis, traditionally consumed in South America as a stimulating and health-promoting beverage. Rich in xanthines (caffeine, theobromine, theophylline) and polyphenols, it provides a smooth, balanced energy effect combined with strong antioxidant and metabolic benefits. Mate Tea Extract supports mental alertness, fat metabolism, and immune defense, making it ideal for functional beverages, dietary supplements, and natural energy products.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply high-quality Mate Tea Extract processed under ISO 22000-certified facilities to ensure purity, consistency, and compliance with international standards. Available in spray-dried and water-soluble forms, our extracts retain the authentic aroma and health properties of Yerba Mate, suitable for both food and nutraceutical formulations.
