Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a climbing plant, native to the Amazon basin and especially common in Brazil. The guarana fruit's colour ranges from brown to red and contains black seeds which are partly covered by white arils. The colour contrast when the fruit has been split open has been likened to eyeballs. Guaranine (better known as caffeine) is found in guarana, and is identical to caffeine derived from other sources, like coffee, tea, and mate.Guarana is used in sweetened or carbonated soft drinks and energy shots, an ingredient of herbal teas or contained in capsules. How does it work? As a dietary supplement, guarana is an effective stimulant, its seeds contain about twice the concentration of caffeine found in coffee seeds (about 2–5% caffeine in guarana seeds compared to 1–2% for coffee seeds). Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system (CNS), heart, and muscles. Guarana also contains theophylline and theobromine, which are chemicals similar to caffeine.The energy boost from natural guarana seed extract is much different than what you get from caffeine:For instance, it is... GentleSlow actingLong lastingNo headachesProvides stamina, endurance, and energy Energy One of the most powerful benefits of guarana is its energizing effects. Guarana has a similar chemical structure to that of caffeine, and the plant seeds provide even higher caffeine effects than typical caffeine drinks, including coffee. Guarana may be more effective than coffee with regards to its energizing power, as guarana is released more slowly into the body to provide sustained energy. Weight Loss Guarana is also used for weight loss, to enhance athletic performance, as a stimulant, and to reduce mental and physical fatigue. It is a frequent addition to energy drinks and weight loss products. Some people also use guarana to treat low blood pressure, to prevent malaria and dysentery. It is also used to enhance sexual desire, to increase urine flow, and as an astringent.The other key difference from coffee and natural guarana is that it has also been shown in studies to improve memory and alertness and often improve a person's mood without the same negative side effects of coffee. The guarana plant has also been used in helping treat a myriad of other conditions such as:Urinary tract infectionsDiarrheaPainful menstruationHeadachesReducing anxietyEnhancing sexual performanceProtection against malariaHelp with hangoversQuickening perceptionsHelping with endurance-based activities Origin: Harvested and freeze dried in Brazil. Packaged with care in Florida, USA. Warning:Like other energy stimulants, if consumed in large amounts, guarana may cause insomnia. Due to the high caffeine content of guarana, it is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure or heart conditions.
