Traditional uses:
Amazonian Indians used Guarana for centuries as a heart tonic and to thin the blood. Today it is well known for its stimulant action and is taken as a health tonic by millions. Brazilians believe it helps over come heat fatigue, combats premature aging, detoxifies the blood, and is useful for flatulence, obesity, dyspepsia, fatigue and arteriosclerosis. In North America it is reputed to increase stamina and physical endurance. Scientific validation is given to its antiaggregation properties, meaning its ability to prevent the formation of blood clots and to help in the breakdown of clots that had already been formed.
Because of Guarana's good health benefits as well as being a natural stimulant, it's popularity has been growing worldwide. Unfortunately, many manufacturers are simply adding the Guarana name to their labels to capitalize on it's popularity but are actually adding caffeine rather than natural Guarana.
MORE INFORMATION
Guarana, Paullinia cupana, is a small bean that grows on a vine in the jungle canopy in South America, especially in the Amazon Jungle, in Brazil. The first ones to discover and use Guarana were the Indians that inhabit the amazon, especially the Mauaes. They considered the Guarana plant sacred and use it daily as a stimulant.
It is used to increase mental alertness and fight fatigue, increase stamina and physical endurance. It combats premature aging, detoxifies the blood
How does it work?
Guarana contains up to 5% guaranine, a compound almost identical to caffeine. It also contains theophylline, theobromine, tannic acid and it is rich in saponins. Guarana is not readily water soluble and therefore not quickly absorbed by the body. The energy boost from Guarana is not like the one found in coffee that has a sudden rush and a quick drop-off. Guarana is released slowly so the energy boost is continued as much as 6 hours.
