Key Components & Health Considerations

1. Mate (Ilex paraguariensis)

   • A caffeine-containing plant used in South America for its stimulant and antioxidant properties.
   • Contains mateine (a mild stimulant similar to caffeine) and saponins (may aid digestion).
   • Moderate consumption is generally safe, but excessive intake may cause:
     • Jitters, insomnia, or increased heart rate (due to caffeine).
     • Digestive upset (e.g., nausea, diarrhea) in sensitive individuals.
     • Potential interactions with medications (e.g., blood thinners, stimulants, or antidepressants).

2. Guaraná (Paullinia cupana)

   • A high-caffeine fruit extract (often 2–4x more caffeine than coffee per gram).
   • Risks of overconsumption:
     • Severe caffeine overdose symptoms (e.g., rapid heartbeat, anxiety, vomiting).
     • Not recommended for people with heart conditions, hypertension, or anxiety disorders.
     • Pregnant/breastfeeding women should avoid due to caffeine content.
     • May interact with MAO inhibitors, beta-blockers, or other stimulants.
