Cha de bugre is a popular ingredient that comes from the Amazon jungles in Brazil. Like many other ingredients including guarana, yerba mate, damiana, and acai, cha de bugre has been said to promote some amazing benefits. Of course, we can check the track record. The unfortunate fact is that exotic does not necessarily translate into miraculous, and generally speaking if it comes from a third world country, it is not the reason why they have a tendency to be of a lower weight. This being said, for background, guarana, damiana, and yebra mate can combine according to one select study to achieve greater weight loss benefits by slowing the gastric emptying process. But apart, they have no weight loss effect at all. Likewise, acai is just a fruit. It is rich in vitamins and antioxidants. But it does not actually promote greater weight loss. This being said, cha de bugre is more useless on this count than the rest. There are absolutely no clinical studies showing that cha de bugre has any benefits at all. The other Brazilian ingredients have benefits outside of weight loss. But cha de bugre actually has no benefits at all.
