Yerba mate is a plant native to South America. It is often consumed as a tea and is known for its stimulating effects, similar to those of coffee or other caffeine-containing drinks. In addition to its use as a beverage, yerba mate has also been used medicinally as it is believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potentially weight loss-promoting effects. Some studies have also suggested that yerba mate may have a positive effect on blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. It is also sometimes used as a laxative at higher doses.

Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is a plant native to Asia and a member of the Araliaceae family. It is also commonly known as 'Siberian ginseng' or 'eleuthero root'. The root of the plant is used in traditional medicine for its purported ability to improve physical and mental performance, boost the immune system, and reduce fatigue. It is also claimed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Eleuthero is often referred to as an 'adaptogen'. Adaptogens are believed to help the body resist stress. It is important to note that although eleuthero is known as 'Siberian ginseng', it is not related to Panax ginseng.
