Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a naturally occurring hormone involved in regulating a variety of bodily processes including satiety, reward driven behaviors and the rate at which you digest food. 

GLTea-1 is a natural, concentrated, Yerba Mate based ready to drink functional shot. Using Mate and natural fruit flavours, GLTea-1 has a notable and punchy profile. We chose to add glutamine and L-theanine to our shot to enhance the effects of Yerba Mate's active compounds which include caffeine, theobromine, chlorogenic acid, dicaffeoylquinic acid and mate saponins.  

Yerba Maté, commonly referred to as just Maté, is a herbal tea consumed in significant quantities in several South American countries. The average Argentine consumes 5kg of Yerba Maté per year, in Uruguay the average person consumes 10kg per year! 

GLTea-1 is designed to increase your body's natural levels of GLP-1, making you feel fuller for longer and less likely to act on your cravings therefore helping you to lose or maintain weight depending on your goal. GLTea-1 also supports lipid metabolism making you burn more fat during the day and when exercising. Lastly GLTea-1 provides a long lasting energy boost leaving you feeling motivated and engaged. See this blog post for the science behind how GLTea-1 works. 

GLTea-1 only contains natural ingredients and flavours. We don't use any synthetic compounds. Our flagship ingredient, Yerba Mate, is organic, from a single source in Argentina and produced according to a family tradition dating back to the early 20th century. 

Studies have shown that consumption of Yerba Mate boosts GLP-1 levels upon consumption, so GLTea-1 should start to help you achieve your goals from the first shot. But we want to be clear, GLTea-1 is a support not a solution. You still need to work towards your goals, we are here to help you on your way. 

There is no hard limit. GLTea-1 contains as much caffeine as a cup of coffee so that's worth bearing in mind as a guide. However, GLTea-1 also contains L-Theanine which has a calming effect thus some consumers might find the energy boost from GLTea-1 less harsh or jittery than coffee. Why not try swapping out one of your daily coffee's for a shot of GLTea-1?  

No, GLTea-1 can be stored at room temperature. We do prefer drinking ours chilled though! 

Yes, GLTea-1 is vegan and gluten free.

GLTea-1 is designed to drive the body to produce more of its own GLP-1, which as described above, has various effects on satiety and cravings which lead to weight loss or maintenance.

GLTea-1 contains Yerba Mate, which has been shown to support lipid metabolism and consuming it before exercise has been shown to increase fatty acid oxidation by 24%, resulting in greater levels of fat burn and also less lactate build up. We think drinking GLTea-1 will make your exercise more effective and more enjoyable.  

GLTea-1 is about more than just losing weight however. Caffeine from Yerba Mate and the addition of L-theanine should leave you in an motivated, energised and focused state helping you work towards your goals. Yerba Maté has also been shown to have beneficial impacts on mood, likely due to the synergistic effects of theobromine and caffeine. Interestingly it's this same relationship that is thought to drive the feel-good effects of chocolate.

If you are taking any medication please consult with your doctor before making an changes to your lifestyle or consumption habits. This includes things like coffee, GLTea-1 or any other functional products. 

GLTea-1 contains high levels of caffeine, we'd recommend children avoid it for this reason.
