MATEORA Cutting Mix™ — Strawberry Açaí
Thirty sticks, six things worth knowing
Yerba mate extract
100 mg per stick, listed on the supplement facts panel below.
Magnesium citrate
200 mg per stick, in the same serving as the mate.
FOS, ginger and cinnamon
100 mg each of fructooligosaccharides, ginger extract and cinnamon bark extract.
18 calories a serving
Less than 0.5 g of sugar. Sweetened with stevia leaf extract.
Fifteen seconds to make
Tear, pour, stir. No brewing, no steeping, no scoop to wash.
30 sticks per bottle
One stick per serving, so a bottle covers about a month.
A 6 g serving, five named actives
The panel is not a proprietary blend. Every active is listed with its own amount, so you can line it up against whatever is already in your cupboard and decide for yourself whether it is worth swapping.
- Cinnamon bark extract 100 mg
- Yerba mate extract 100 mg
- Magnesium citrate 200 mg
- FOS 100 mg
- Ginger extract (5%) 100 mg
The format is the product
A tub is cheaper to fill and worse to live with. Sticks cost more per gram and get used, because the friction between deciding to have one and having one is about four seconds.
- Pre-measured, so nothing to weigh
- Sealed until you open it
- Fits a pocket, a bag or a desk drawer
- Nothing to wash up afterwards

Three points in the day it tends to land
Instead of the third coffee
A stick into a water bottle at the desk. Something with a flavour to it, without another mug to wash.
In the shaker on the way to the gym
Sticks travel in a gym bag pocket, so the routine does not depend on being at home.
When water alone gets boring
Strawberry Acai at 18 calories, so the drink you actually reach for is also the water you meant to drink.

The three reasons people hesitate
I have bought powders before and they sat in a cupboard
Usually because a tub asks you to find a scoop, level it, and wash a shaker. Sticks skip all three. That is the whole design brief, and it is the reason the format costs more per gram than a tub.
I do not like the taste of yerba mate
Neither do a lot of people, which is why this is not brewed mate. It is a Strawberry Acai drink with mate extract in it, sweetened with stevia leaf extract rather than sugar. If it still is not for you, our returns terms are on the returns page.

Things people ask about this one
Is the magnesium here the same as a magnesium tablet?
Each stick contains 200 mg of magnesium citrate. The percent Daily Value is printed on the panel above. Compare that figure against whatever you currently take, since magnesium products vary widely in both form and amount.
What is FOS?
Fructooligosaccharides, a plant-derived carbohydrate. There is 100 mg per stick and it is listed on the panel above.
Is it sweetened with sugar?
No. Sweetness comes from stevia leaf extract and organic stevia rebaudioside A. There is less than 0.5 g of total sugars per serving.
Can I take more than one stick a day?
The serving is one stick. Do not exceed it. It contains caffeine from yerba mate, so treat it the way you would treat any caffeinated drink.
Does it dissolve properly in cold water?
Stir or shake until it clears. In a shaker or a bottle you can seal and turn over, it goes faster than in a still glass.
How should I store it?
Cool and dry, out of direct sunlight, with the lid closed. Keep it out of reach of young children.
Is it suitable for everyone?
No. It is not intended for children, or for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are sensitive to caffeine, taking medication, or managing a health condition, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before starting.
