Dicha estimulación se traduce en excitación, dominando y regulando el esfuerzo intelectual y muscular, por lo que es ideal para personas que realizan deportes u tanto actividades físicas como mentales.
Antihypercholesterolemic Action: Due to their Antihypercholesterolemic action, saponines present in the yerba mate infusion reduce the amount of low density lipoproteins in the blood.
