Yerba maté with stems or yerba maté con palo contains xanthines, which are alkaloids in the same family as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, well-known stimulants also found in organic Mendo Maté coffee and chocolate. Yerba maté also contains elements such as potassium, magnesium and manganese. Caffeine content varies between 0.3% and 1.7% of dry weight (compare this to 2.5–4.5% for Tea leaves, and 1.5% for ground coffee). Yerba maté products are sometimes marketed as "caffeine-free" alternatives to coffee and tea, and said to have fewer negative effects. This is often based on a claim that the primary active xanthine in yerba maté is "Matteine". At this time caffeine and mateine are considered to be one in the same.
