How much naturally occurring caffeine is in a single serving?

Dr. Mowery, Ph.D. and his colleagues found that xanthine compounds in Yerba Mate` are very similar to the xanthines found in caffeine. Although the xanthines have similar chemistries, each has a unique set of properties, concluding that even if there was caffeine in Mate, the amount would be so tiny that it would take 100 tea bags of Mate in a 6-ounce cup of water to equal the caffeine in a 6-ounce serving of regular coffee.

Recent U.S. studies claim yerba mate does contain caffeine. It just contains a much lesser amount, pound for pound, than that of all other similar plant beverages. The caffeine content of yerba mate has been assayed to contain between .7 and 2%, with the average leaf yielding about 1% caffeine. In living plants, xanthines (such as caffeine) are bound to sugars, phenols, and are set free or unbound during the roasting and/or fermenting processes. The mateine chemical “discovered” is probably just caffeine bound to a tannin or phenol in the raw leaf. The same would tend to hold true with green tea.

Our Chéia Vida is very carefully monitored in the bottling process to maintain 45 mgs of caffeine per one ounce serving. As you will see below that means our Chéia Vida has the caffeine equivalent of about 1/2 of a cup of coffee. The energy you get from Chéia Vida is not a result of just the caffeine, but instead of the synergistic combination of all the ingredients.

Is the Cheia Vida product organic?

The ingredients in Cheia Vida that are harvested from the rain forest are never treated with any chemicals but because they are naturally grown they can not be considered “certified” organic. The herbs and tea’s that are farmed are grown organically.

What makes the Rainforest plants you use sustainable – i.e. no over harvesting?

The Acai berries are self replenishing fruits just like a banana. When you harvest them a new set of fruit grows back. If you took the worldwide use of the Acai berry at the present time only 1% of the rain forest output of Acai palm berries is being consumed. That means 99% of the acai berries that grow in the vast rainforest simply rot on the tree just to be replenished by a new batch. The plant and tea ingredients are actually farmed. Our main supplier contracts with local farmers to grow the plant ingredients. No plant ingredients are harvested from old growth rain forest. 

Is Cheia Vida Pasteurized?

Traditional pasteurization does not involve "superheating" a liquid. That process is called ultra high temperature pasteurization (or UHT), which is the method used to produce cartons of milk that can be stored unopened at room temperature for long periods. It has been suggested that the UHT process can denature or degrade proteins, enzymes and vitamins, and that's why UHT is one high-tech solution that we will not use. Instead, we use a new twist on the gentle, time-tested method originated by Louis Pasteur in 1862.
 
The temperature used for pasteurizing Cheia Vida might be uncomfortably warm for a bubble bath, but its well under the point at which nutrient degradation would take place. We control the process by pasteurizing only one batch of Cheia Vida at a time, quickly bringing the product to the prescribed temperature of 180°F by circulating heated water through an insulating jacket in our double-walled stainless steel kettles. The batch is held at the pasteurization temperature for a mere five minutes, which is all that is required to suppress microbial growth. Once pasteurization's been achieved, we chill. That doesn't mean we take a break; it means that we flood the insulating jacket with frigid water, all the while stirring the kettle to rapidly chill the product. This unique quick-chilling step ensures that Cheia Vida retains its fresh flavor and aroma, with no "cooked" notes.

Can you take this if you are pregnant or nursing? 

If you are pregnant, nursing or under a physician’s care, please consult that professional before taking weight loss supplements and making changes in your diet and lifestyle.

Does it have any interaction with prescription medication?

The ingredients in Cheia Vida Slim are already used by millions of people worldwide, and we are not aware of any interaction with prescription drugs.

How long can you keep taking it?

You are encouraged to use Cheia Vida Slim on a long term regular basis.

Is there an age limit as to who can use the Cheia Vida Slim?

We recommend only teens and adults use the Cheia Vida Slim with a full glass of water.

Why take the Cheia Vida Slim after a meal?

Taking Cheia Vida Slim 15 to 60 minutes after a meal optimizes its activity. In the stomach the free fats have a tendency to float on the surface of the food after the meal. That is where the activity starts.

Does Cheia Vida Slim have a appetite suppression quality to it?

Cheia Vida Slim is a high fiber supplement and fiber tends to swell when it comes in contact with liquids and fats. Soluable fiber can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water thus giving you a full feeling that lasts for hours.

You suggest taking Slim after meals. Is the overall impact of the product diminished significantly if it is taken with just one meal a day?

For no fat meals and snacks you don’t need to take any Cheia Vida Slim capsules.
For moderately fatty meals (5-25 grams of fat) you want to take 2 capsules. (this would mean most of the selections in our 10 Day Slim Down Booklet)

For overly fatty meals (25-50 grams of fat) you may want to take 3 to 4 capsules. (would cover most sit down meals at restaurants)

You are in control…take Cheai Vida Slim whenever you want to block the fat!

Does Cheia Vida Slim and the Cheia Viida 10 Day Slim Down Challenge plan have a money back guarantee?

Yes they have a 30 day satasifaction guarantee.
