Guarana 60 caps

Guarana is a berry bush that grows in Venezuela and in the northern parts of Brazil. The guarana plant contains caffeine and is therefore stimulating. Like many other caffeine-containing plants, it is used to make drinks. They are very popular, especially in Brazil, where they are usually also produced.

HISTORY
The name guarana comes from the Guarani tribe that lives in Brazil. Guarana plays a very important role in their culture; this herb is believed to possess magical powers, to heal bowel problems and to become strong again. This tribe also knows the myth of the "Divine Child," who was killed by a snake and from whose eyes a plant was born. Botanists think that current plants, including those found in the dense forests, are the result of indigenous cultivation. Guarana was cultivated by the Maués, Andira and other stems of the "lower Amazon".
The botanical name of guarana, Paullinia cupana H.B.k species of sorbilis (Mart.) Ducke, is derived from C.F. Paullini, a German medical botanist who lived in the 18th century.

VEGETABLE
The Paullinia cupana plant has divided composite leaves, a yellow blossom, pear-shaped buds and three-cell seed pods, each of which has a flesh-colored seed that resembles a small horse chestnut. Once dried, they are easy to remove. The seeds of Paullinia sorbilis are often confused with those of Paullinia cupana.
Guarana, in its most useful form as we know it, is obtained as follows. After the seeds have been peeled and washed, they are roasted for six hours. Then they go into a bag and are shaken until the outer shell comes off, and ground into fine powder. This is often made into a clay with water, and laid down in rolls in the sun or dried over a low flame. They then become very hard and have a red-brown color. The pieces break into uneven pieces, they have a slight odor and taste sharp and bitter like chocolate without fat. The powder resembles cocoa powder in color; it swells and partially dissolves in water.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
The most important substances found in guarana are: adenine, allantoin, alpha-copaene, anethole, caffeine, carvacrol, caryophyllene, catechins, catechu tannic acid, choline, dimethylbenzene, dimethylpropylphenol, estragol, glucose, guanine, hypoxanthine, limonene, mucilene nicucine, mucilage nicucine, mucilage nicucine , proanthocyanidins, protein, resin, 2-hydroxybenzeneecarboxylic acid, starch, sucrose, tannic acid, tannins, theobromine, theophylline, timbonine, and xanthine.

EFFECTS
There are all kinds of rumors and stories about the effects of guarana on the human body. Some are true but most are myths. For example, do not expect medical miracles from taking guarana in any form. Guarana is not a medicine, although in some cases effects do occur that are beneficial for a limited number of medical conditions. The xanthine alkaloids (caffeine, theophylline, theobromine) contribute significantly to the therapeutic effect of guarana. Clinical studies have shown that theophylline stimulates the heart and central nervous system, increases alertness and reduces fatigue. It also has a strong diuretic effect and reduces airway constriction, making it useful for asthma. Theobromine has equivalent effects. The many traditional uses of guarana can best be explained by caffeine. Among other things, it helps to burn fat and reduce fatigue. The difference with caffeine in coffee, tea, chocolate and cola is that the caffeine in this form is absorbed better and more gradually by the body.

MEDICAL USE
Because it contains tannic acid, guarana can be used in light forms of vaginal discharge, diarrhea, etc., but it is most often used in Europe and America for headaches, especially if it is rheumatic. It is a gentle stimulant that is very useful when the brain is irritated or depressed by a lot of mental exertion, or when there is tiredness or exhaustion due to warm weather. It has the same composition as caffeine, theine and cocaine and therefore has the same physical effect. It can be used for tension headaches, discomfort associated with menstruation or for exhaustion followed by distraction.

VARIATIONS
Guarana is available in four forms:
- Guarana em rama, roasted guarana. Only the roasted seeds, as they are sold by amazon farmers to cooperating wholesalers, the local middle class and the industry.
- Guarana on a stick. After roasting, the seed is ground into powder, mixed with water and sometimes put on a stick. These sticks are dried until they are hard.
- Guarana powder. The is the form in which it is usually available in stores such as smart shops and health stores.
- The last form is syrup, which is used to make drinks from it, but this only happens on an industrial basis.

USE
Guarana powder The powder can be mixed with water or fruit juice and some sugar. You can also mix guarana powder with hot water or milk and add some honey or sugar for a nice hot drink.
The syrup is used for the manufacture of soft drinks that are particularly popular in Brazil. It is typically one of the things that Brazilians miss when they are abroad.
The sticks were originally used by the people of the Guarani tribe, who grated the guarana off with the sharp tongue of the Pirarucu fish. This grit was then also mixed with water and sugar into a drink.
There are also guarana energy drinks and chewing gum; both are promoted as energy-giving. Not too much can be expected from this, the effects are comparable to those of a large cup of coffee.
Guarana is also widely available in pill or capsule form. Use them in the prescribed dosage.

WARNINGS
Theoretically, it is possible to get an overdose of caffeine or guarana. A fatal dose is estimated at 10 grams of pure caffeine / guaranine (taken in one go!). Guarana seeds contain no more than 10% caffeine, so if you swallow at least 100 grams of guarana seeds at once it can be annoying. To put all this in perspective: an average cup of coffee contains 65-130 milligrams of caffeine; and some very strong guarana syrups can contain up to 350 milligrams.
People with heart problems or high blood pressure should not use guarana (or drink or smoke coffee). Consult a doctor if in doubt.
As with all stimulants, habituation can occur.

SIDE EFFECTS
Consider guarana caffeine, because it has more or less the same 'side effects'. That is why it is not advisable for people with chronic headaches or in cases where it is not right for the body temperature to rise or for more pressure to be put on the heart or the arteries.

COMBINATIONS
Guarana is often combined with caffeine, or caffeinated plants or fruits to enhance the effects. These include cola nut, yerba mate, black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and black pepper. Guarana and ephedra are often mixed in equal parts to promote weight loss. They both reinforce each other's effect, combining fat burning and extra energy.

SAVE
Store guarana in a cool, dry place.
