BioFunctional Health Solutions (“BHS”), a leader in conservative care and brain and body optimization, is thrilled to announce the preliminary results of an informal, non-funded research initiative investigating the effects of yerba mate (the “Study”). The Study prominently utilized a yerba mate-based product from Yerbaé Brands Corp.

Key Findings:

• Enhanced Cognitive Function: The initial results indicate that Yerbaé’s beverage products complement BHS’s brain optimization services, boosting focus, memory, and mental performance.
• Natural Energy Boost: Yerbaé’s plant-based ingredients provide a natural energy source, aligning with BHS’s commitment to holistic health.
• Comprehensive Health Optimization: The initial results support a further study to explore the potential health benefits of yerba mate and Yerbaé’s products, focusing on weight loss and metabolic health in diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals.

Brent Kruel, CEO of BHS stated, “We are raving fans of Yerbaé, not just for their great taste, but also for the perceived benefits derived from the yerba mate tea base, which is known for promoting satiety through various mechanisms. Our Study seeks to prove, with medical efficacy, the induction and/or enhancement of intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and glucose metabolism. These mechanisms ultimately help with weight loss and metabolic health in diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals.”
