Bella- we do have info about yerba mate in our database. It’s not true about the caffeine content. http://energyfiend.com/caffeine-content/yerba-mate. Besides if you do the math 60 times 55mg for a 12 oz serving would be. 3,300mg + you = Death………………………..

Word about the mate, Bella. For a couple weeks yerba mate was my drink of choice. It was great at first but then I had to drink like six cups to feel anything. Focus, ya’ll.

About TNT’s comment:

I think Energy Fiend should write something about Yerba Mate. It’s recently become a fad at my school to drink Yerba Mate instead of energy drinks. A friend of mine says it has 60 times the caffeine in Mountain Dew. I’m sure he’s wrong, but it definitely gives a lot of energy.

um… it is actually normally almost impossible to get any meaningful amount of GABA to cross the blood brain barrier.

this stuff better be good if the only price you can get it is $3. i stick to Guru for a natural energy drink. it tastes great, has a great kick, and the ingredient list doesn’t make you wonder if you’re poisoning yourself

The blood brain barrier and enzymatic activity of the gut is highly variable among individuals. It affect some more than others.

GABA is Gamma-Amino-Butyric Acid, it IS a chemical, it is a slightly depressant chemical. But not very active orally…Enzymes in the stomach easily destroy it, and what isn’t destroyed can’t cross the BloodBrainBarrier.

Actually, in Japan, people take GABA with their morning coffee counteract the negative effects of caffeine and sugar.
