Unicity Unimate Yerba Mate: Listed in the Prescribers' Desk Reference (PDR)
Nov 18, 2021Unicity Unimate was first launched in 2017 after years of research and patenting a uniquely powerful five-step process: handpicking, fire roasting, active biological molecule extraction, yerba mate concentration, and purification. The result is a yerba mate beverage unlike any other on the market.
Why Unimate is Listed in the Prescribers' Desk Reference (PDR)
Thanks to extensive research and clinical studies, Unimate earned its place in the PDR, becoming the only yerba mate backed by science. This recognition underscores Unicity's commitment to combining cutting-edge science with traditional health practices, supporting a healthy lifestyle as part of the Feel Great System.
For more than 70 years, medical specialists worldwide have turned to the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) as the authoritative source of information on drugs and prescribed substances.
In 2019, the PDR transitioned exclusively to a digital format called the Prescribers' Desk Reference (PDR), which continues to be utilized in virtually every physician's office, pharmacy, clinic, and library. No medical reference is more current, more recognized, or more respected. The PDR contains label information, dosage instructions, images, and more.
Watch the video below to learn more about the Prescribers' Desk Reference (PDR) journey and its groundbreaking inclusion in the PDR. Discover why Unicity, with over 16 products listed in the PDR, has emerged as a leader in the nutraceutical industry.
With a science team dedicated to innovation, Unicity is working day in and day out to develop products that will be added to future editions of the PDR and continue to be recommended by medical professionals everywhere. Here is the actual Unicity Unimate listing in the PDR.

Unicity International
DIETARY SUPPLEMENT
----------
UNIMATE™
DS
Feel Good and Stay in the Game
DESCRIPTION
Developed from high-quality Yerba Mate leaves harvested and subjected to a patented 5-step process, Unimate contains up to 375 times more chlorogenic acids than other commercially available Yerba Mate drinks. With benefits that energize, boost athletic performance, and mood, Unimate supports and all-around elevated quality of life.
BENEFITS AND RESEARCH
Unimate™ is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and secondary metabolites such as chlorogenic acids and triterpenoid saponins. As a member of Unicity International's Genomeceutical™ line of products, chlorogenic acids and triterpenoid saponins found in Unimate™ have been documented in the scientific literature to support healthy gene expression in the body.
Clinical studies show that Unimate™ has the ability to promote a healthy mood. Psychological well-being in a group of subjects, assessed using the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, was increased by 20% after taking Unimate™. The mode of action of this result is likely due to the ability of chlorogenic acids to support healthy mood and cognition—as previously reported elsewhere in the scientific literature.
An additional clinical study demonstrated the ability of Unimate™ to maintain healthy blood-lipid and blood glucose levels in the body. A 12% reduction of total cholesterol, 5% reduction of LDL cholesterol, and 11% reduction of triglycerides was observed in a group of subjects who took Unimate™ once daily for 30 days. Additionally, a 5% reduction in fasting blood-glucose and a 3% reduction in HbA1c levels was also observed in this same group.
Other clinical studies have validated the ability of Unimate™ to support healthy weight loss in the body due to the ability of Yerba Mate triterpenoid saponins to support healthy gene expression of anti-obesity related genes.1
