Hi, I know I have heard so much about how Herba Mate tea is packed with antioxitants, aminos, vitamins and is even good for the digestive system. However, it does have some "natural caffeine" but doesn't effect people the way coffee does. Anybody have experience with this? I have battled adrenal problems and really struggle with lack of energy. Thx!

I've tried it. A very knowledgable friend who owns an Herb Shop (where they sell Nature's Sunshine Herbs) told my daughter when she brought some in a bottle to seminary one morning (this person also teaches seminary at 6:30 am every school day to LDS kids) that it is to be used sparingly....just not over used. I had been carrying around liter bottles of it : ) (I backed off at that point). It was better than the energy drinks my daughter had been using! : ) I am personally, though, very sensitive to caffiene...even in chocolate. (That is the only kind of I even have) but it didn't seem to bother me and did help me function better. Worth a try if not overused. All you can really do is see how it affects you personally.
