Frequently Asked Questions
What is it?
Unimate: Yerba mate is a plant species of the holly genus ilex native to South America. Naturally rich in antioxidants and nutrients, yerba mate has been traditionally used to promote mental clarity, endurance, appetite control, and an improved mood. A rich source of chlorogenic acids, theobromine, mate saponins and antioxidants. It can provide an energy boost due to it’s high caffeine content.
Balance: Think fiber and a lot of it. A blend of soluble fibers, plant-derived polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals. Fiber (balance) is used to help support digestive health and since this is soluble fiber, it can help maintain a health cholesterol and blood sugar. It can help curb your appetite in between your meals.

What exactly am I doing?
Intermittent fasting: an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. There are a few different methods:
The 16/8 method: you skip breakfast and restrict your daily eating period to only 8 hours a day, such as 1-9pm. Then you fast for 16 hours in between.
Eat-Stop-Eat: This is where you would fast for 24 hours but only once or twice a week.
The 5:2 diet: you consume only 500-600 calories on two nonconsecutive days of the week but then eat normally the other five.
These products are to help support you during intermittent fasting. We recommend speaking to your healthcare provider before intermittent fasting to ensure it is right for you.
How often should I drink it?
We recommend that you start your day, so no breakfast, with Unimate and only use half a packet to ease yourself into use the first week or two.
Before consuming your largest meal, use Balance about 15 minutes prior to that meal. This could be lunch or dinner.
You should only consume 1-2 Unimate and 1-2 balance in a day.
If you only want to use the products periodically such as before an upcoming event, that is also recommended. It does not HAVE to be for daily use.
Are there side effects?
Some individuals may experience stomach or GI issues due to the fiber and high natural caffeine content. This is why we recommend starting with half of a packet when you first start your journey to slowly have your body adjust.
We urge you to speak with your healthcare provider before beginning to intermittent fast as certain health conditions may not be ideal to do so.
Of course, if you feel sick in any way, stop using the product.
