I'm still breast feeding my 4 month old, is it safe? I've been off of caffeine for almost 2 years now and would love a natural remedy as I am not a coffee drinker either.

I am told that the molecular structure of yerba mate is a mirror image of caffiene. Why that should inhibit the negative effects of caffiene, I do not know, but it does give me energy without the edgy side effects, which is a good thing!

Do you know what kind of nutritional benefits it has (i.e. antioxidants like green tea)? Also, yerba mate is supposed to have a similar effect to caffeine but does it make you jittery at all? I found that the one brand I once tried (literally a sample size at Wholefoods from the company's rep) gave me a huge jolt. Thanks for your post.
