What is Yerba Mate Powder?
Yerba mate is a green-and-red plant, native to South America, that is part of the holly genus. A full-grown yerba mate tree can grow up to 50 feet tall, with evergreen leaves and multiple, spreading branches. The plant has a long tradition of use in the indigenous Guaraní and Tupí communities of present-day Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Its caffeinated leaves were steeped in hot water or served cold. Today, yerba mate is a popular ingredient in energy drinks and iced tea.
Why Yerba Mate Powder?
Yerba mate powder is easy to use and packs a caffeinated punch. NutriCargo’s yerba mate powder is made from Brazilian leaves for a natural source of yerba mate. Rather than buying expensive energy drinks or steeping tea, adding yerba mate powder into your shakes, smoothies, and dishes is a simpler and quicker way to incorporate yerba mate into your diet. Plus, NutriCargo’s bulk packaging ensures that you can consume yerba mate regularly, rather than relying on the sporadic energy drink purchase or cup of tea.

Product Questions:
What quality documents can you provide?
- Certificates of Analysis (COA)
- MSDS
- Allergen & pesticide statements
What is the difference between powder, 4:1, %, etc?
Whole herbs and extracts are both very different products.
Whole botanicals in some cases contain every part of a botanical including roots or stems while extract contains a specific botanical compound and is measured to a specific amount.
Extracts come with standards set by potency percentage so your order will always match what was advertised.
NutriCargo Whole Ingredients (do not have % or ration in their name)
A whole ingredient contains the entire botanical, including the roots, stem, flower etc.
NutriCargo Extracts
Extracts contain specific compounds extracted from the botanical. These compounds are denoted by the “%” sign.
Herbal extracts are often “standardized” to contain a certain amount of a compound or active ingredient. Standardization ensures that every batch of a botanical extract contains the same amount of the advertised compound. For example, Acerola 10% may be standardized to 10% vitamin C. Every batch of that product will have at least 10% of that active compound.
NutriCargo Extract Ratios
Ratio extracts are denoted by the ratio in their product name. For example 4:1, 5:1, 10:1 etc.
If it’s a 4:1 extract, for example, that means that four parts of the original plant are going into one part of the final extract, making it a concentrated powder.
Think of it this way: Ratio of dry plant material (X) to final extract quantity(Y).
X : Y
Y = weight of dry plant material
X = weight or volume of extract (depending upon whether the extract is a solid/dry extract or a liquid extract)
The concept here is that the essential activity of the dry plant material (X) is found in the quantity of extract (Y). Or in other words, Y quantity of the extract is equivalent to X quantity of the dry plant.
For example, a botanical ingredient listed as a 4:1 extract means that 4 kg of raw herbs were extracted down to 1 kg of dried powdered extract.
What type of quality control measures does NutriCargo take?
- The institution of an internal Quality Control Program to ensure that products are free of toxins and undesired by-products.
- Alliances with science laboratories to enforce rigorous testing procedures.
- Weekly testing for microbial pathogens and heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury).
- Microbiological testing (Total Plate count, Yeast & Mold, Coliforms, E. Coli and Salmonella).
- Random testing of materials' moisture content.
- HPTLC (High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography) testing for initial approval and supply of materials.
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing for powder extracts.
- Prevention of all sub-potent and contaminated materials from entering the products.
- Regular testing for proper identification and chemical efficacy.
