Taking it a step further, a new study from Frontiers in Nutrition lists Yerba mate's metabolic effects across eight pathways: gut microbiota and hormonal signaling, hypothalamic appetite regulation, oxidative stress reduction, inflammation reduction, lipid metabolism reprogramming, glycemic regulation, mitochondrial efficiency, and neurotransmitter modulation.

Specifically, Yerba mate enhances GLP-1 secretion, restores leptin sensitivity via inflammation reduction, and boosts mitochondrial efficiency, yielding lower HbA1c, triglycerides, and adiposity (fat mass).
