7 reasons office workers are swapping coffee for yerba mate

South America has been drinking this leaf for centuries, and science is only now working out why. Read on to find out what’s inside it and why we built Stride around this very ingredient.

01 Theobromine and theophylline

Calmer energy that lasts longer.

Alongside caffeine, yerba mate contains two of its relatives: theobromine, which you know from cocoa, and theophylline. Your body breaks caffeine down by half in roughly 4 hours, theophylline in 6 and theobromine in 7. Theobromine gently widens the blood vessels and works more on the body than on the brain. In one study, caffeine combined with theobromine raised alertness, but not blood pressure.

02 Nutrition

Nutrients you can take anywhere.

Coffee is always within reach at the office, while the vitamins stay at home in a drawer. Stride puts both into one can you can take anywhere: caffeine from yerba mate, 100 % of your daily needs for vitamins B3 and B5, which contribute to reducing tiredness, magnesium, and 300 mg of adaptogens, ginseng and maca. No sugar and no calories, so it fits any diet.

Antioxidant enzymes in the blood 1 hour after 200 ml of yerba mate drink: catalase +28.7 %, superoxide dismutase +21.3 %, glutathione peroxidase +9.6 %

03 Antioxidants

Stronger cell defence within an hour.

Against the free radicals that build up on stressful days, after poor sleep and on fast food, your body has its own defence: antioxidant enzymes. In a study of 31 adults, their activity in the blood was up to 28.7 % higher just one hour after 200 ml of a concentrated yerba mate drink.

04 Focus

Better focus and concentration.

Too much coffee and focus turns into restlessness. In a randomised study, yerba mate improved focus, energy and concentration compared with a placebo, and it did so at just 2 g. Every can of Stride contains more than 4 g of yerba mate, and all of its caffeine, 120 mg, comes straight from it. Caffeine helps improve concentration, and vitamin B5 contributes to normal mental performance.

05 Appetite

Less hunger between meals.

Milk, sugar and the croissant that “just came along”: coffee breaks add up fast. Yerba mate works the other way. In a randomised study it reduced hunger and food cravings, and an 8-week study from Madrid showed lower ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Stride has no sugar and no calories, yet the taste feels like a small reward.

06 Metabolism

More fat burned while you move.

One study measured 24 % more fat burned with yerba mate during moderate exercise. In a 12-week double-blind study, people who took 3 g of yerba mate a day lowered their body fat percentage and waist-to-hip ratio. One can of Stride contains more than 4 g. It’s not magic, it’s a leaf doing its part.

The studies cited looked at yerba mate (as a tea or in capsules), not at Stride itself, so we don’t promise individual results. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle matter.

Stride guarantee: If you don’t like the drinks, send us a message at hello@stridedrinks.com and we’ll refund you for the drinks you return by post. Valid for 30 days from the date of your order.

Timing: For the best effect and to support your body, drink your first can 60 to 90 minutes after waking up and your second no later than 6 to 10 hours before bed.

Laxative effect: Caffeine speeds up the metabolism and has a mild laxative effect, especially for people with sensitive digestion. That’s why we recommend not drinking it on an empty stomach and staying hydrated with a glass of water.

Consistency: Settle on a steady level of caffeine intake. Frequent changes in intake can lead to dependence and increased anxiety. 1 can of Stride + 1 cup of coffee, or 2 cans of Stride, should be more than enough for most people.

Končno naravana osvežitev, ki te res "dvigne gor"

Pijačo sem kupila malo iz firbca, malo pa iz upanja, da bo res pomagala dvigniti energijo. Okus je veliko boljši od pričakovanega, ne preveč sladko (sovražim sladke energy drinke) in zelo osvežilno!

Stride je postal moja najljubša energijska pijača

Stride je postal moja najljubša energijska pijača, predvsem zato, ker nima skoraj nič kalorij in jo lahko pijem tudi kadar sem na cutu. Berry Lemonade je moj najljubši okus. 😋

Stride je moj daily driver

Veliko boljša alternativa Britu. Mint Lime okus je moj najljubši. Kadar imam velik work load je precej boljša alternativa kavi, ker mi ne povzroča anxietya in da čist in enakomeren fokus dlje časa.

Pijača z vizijo in karakterjem

Stride odraža vrednote, s katerimi je nastal – disciplino, fokus in pogum slediti svoji viziji. Svež in lahek okus brez nepotrebne sladkobe naredi pijačo prijetno za vsak dan. Meni najljubša okusa sta Mint Lime in Berry Lemonade.
Ponosna mama 🤍

Super in čutno drugačno :)

Sem velik ljubitelj Energijskih pijač in mislim, da sem sprobal že skoraj vse kar jih imamo/smo imeli v Sloveniji na voljo v zadnjih 15 letih, tudi kar nekaj, ki naj bi bili naravni in vse, vendar pri skoraj vseh je zato zmanjkalo na okusu. Stride je drugačen kar se tega tiče. Poizkusil sem vse 3 okuse, ledeni čaj me je najbolj pritegnil, meta sem moral narediti kar nekaj požirkov, da sem jo vzljubil, malina/limonada pa mi ni bila ravno najboljša, vendar daleč od zanič. Preference pač :). Nisem pa na žalost največji fan designa same pločevinke :/.

Iskreno presenečen

Iskreno presenečen. Pričakoval sem še eno od tistih pijač z umetnim okusom, ampak ta je čisto drugačna. Okus je naraven in osvežilen, lepo se pije. Kar me je pa najbolj prepričalo je učinek

Hvala za iskreno oceno. Nas res veseli, da ste zadovoljni z okusom + učinkom! 🙂

Zanimljiva pijača

Okus po čaju,lepo za pit,ni slatko,energije ne zbudi kot sinteticne energetske pijače,zvečer se normalno zaspi,mi je všeč in upam da vam bo uspelo rasirit ponudbo in po trgovinama 👍🏼

Hvala za oceno in lepe besede! Lepo, da vam pomaga čez dan in ne niža kakovosti spanca. Počasi se dogovarjamo s slovenskimi trgovci ter ostalimi poslovnimi partnerji, da Stride pripeljemo na čim več lokacij. 👊🚀

Zdravo

Zdravo.
Sicer sem že prej pil druge naravne energijske pijače, tako da sem se moral malo navaditi okusa stevie, s katero je pijača slajena.
Sicer deluje odlično, so a 3 pločevinke na dan preveč zame, so bile potem kar velike težave s spanjem.
Lp
Marko

Lepo slišati, da Stride deluje 🔥. 3 pločevinke so načeloma zgornja meja priporočljivega vnosa, tako da sami priporočamo 1 ali 2 pločevinki na dan, do najkasneje 15. ure v dnevu in konsisteten vnos kofeina vsak dan, za najboljši učinek!

Lp,
Dane

Izvrstno :)

Super napitek, ki močno odstopa od povprečja ostalih energijskih pijač. Vsi trije okusi so zelo dobri in čuti se, da so sestavine naravne. Vsebnost kofeina se mi zdi ravno pravšnja, pijača pa nudi dolgotrajen fokus brez klasičnega "crasha", ki ga občutim po kavi/drugih energijskih napitkih. Stride definitivno priporočam vsem!!!

Ana, najlepša hvala za super mnenje! ❤️

Lp,
Dane

Učinkovito!

Učinkvito! Dejansko se vidi razlika počasnega sproščanja energije čez dan in odličnega fokusa ki mi pomaga izboljšati moje delo. Edino kar bi rad za moj okus mogoče malenkost bolj sladko:)

Zdravo Štefan,

Hvala za povratno informacijo 😊. Nas veseli, da vam Stride pomaga pri produktivnosti. 🎯

Okus je res bolj naraven, vzamemo pa vse informacije v zakup za naprej!

Stride pred treningom

Stride uporabljam že več tednov in je super pijača za pred treningom, sploh kadar imaš padec energije. Najprej se ga moraš navaditi, saj ni običajna energijska pijača z polno sladkorja in drugih dodatkov, ampak ima naravne okuse kar ga dela posebnega.

Okus

Okus boljši kot sem pricakovala. Prepričala tudi ostale v družini da je to malce boljse kot pitje ostalih “umetnih” energijskih pijač. Hitra dostava.

Hvala za lepe besede, veseli nas, da vam je Stride všeč in da ste ga hitro prejeli!

Questions and answers

Stride is a proud Slovenian product! 100% developed and produced in an IFS-certified facility.

Coffee is a popular drink, but Stride is a great alternative, especially in place of your afternoon or second cup of the day. It’s less acidic, so it’s gentler on the stomach and digestion, and its high polyphenol content brings extra health benefits. Yerba mate contains theobromine and theophylline, which give a steadier, longer-lasting energy boost without the sudden drop coffee can cause. On top of that, Stride contains 300 mg of maca and ginseng, 30 mg of magnesium and B vitamins!

Good question! Strip away all the packaging and Stride is essentially a mate tea infusion with added functional ingredients. Since it contains more than just yerba mate and tastes quite different too, we can call it a natural energy drink based on mate tea.

Yerba Mate can be a useful addition to a weight-loss programme, although it’s no miracle ingredient. Research shows it can boost fat burning, especially combined with regular exercise. Its ability to reduce appetite and speed up the metabolism can support weight management. Yerba mate may also influence the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and blood sugar levels, which can lead to healthier eating habits.

Caffeine tolerance varies from person to person. The recommended daily caffeine intake for an adult is 400 mg, so up to three cans a day is considered safe.

If for any reason you don’t like Stride, let us know at hello@stridedrinks.com, return the remaining cans by post and we’ll refund your full purchase. Less than 1% of customers use the guarantee! Valid for 30 days from the date of your order.

Each flavour is different, but all of them are very refreshing, just sweet enough and lightly carbonated. If you’re not sure which one is for you, pick the Mix option and try them all.
