Guarana Dried Seeds

Description

Latin Name : Paullinia Cupana

Origin Country: Brazil

Guarana is a Brazilian plant native to the Amazon basin. Guarana extract is made by processing the seeds into a powder.

Amazonian tribes have used guarana for centuries for its therapeutic properties. It contains an impressive range of stimulants, such as caffeine, theophylline and theobromine. Guarana also boasts antioxidants, such as tannins, saponins and catechins. Here are some of the most powerful benefits of guarana:

• 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. The plant directly stimulates the central nervous system and may be taken in small doses to fight fatigue and increase activity levels.

• Weight Loss: Guarana is used today in certain energy drinks and weight loss supplements to support weight loss by providing stimulation and combating hunger. Guarana may promote weight loss by kick starting the nervous system to induce the process of lipolysis. This process involves the release of fat into the blood stream where it is used as energy during exercise.

• Bowel Health: In addition to its energizing and weight loss effects, guarana also provides a number of medical benefits for the body. Guarana encourages movement of the bowels, which is a beneficial effect for people suffering from constipation. Additionally, guarana is effective for treating other complications of the bowels, including gas and diarrhoea, as it helps to detoxify and cleanse the system.

Typically, guarana supplements are made by preparing an extract from the seeds or grinding the seeds into a powder. a.In a pot, bring 3 cups of cold water, 10-12 whole guarana seeds to a simmer. Gently decoct (simmer) for 30 minutes. Strain out herbs and return liquid to pot. Add one spoonful of honey at a time and dissolve over very low heat until you reach desired sweetness. b.Mix 1 teaspoon (3 grams) of guarana powder daily into your drink of choice. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place and once open, consume within 2 months.

Guarana is possibly unsafe when taking by mouth in high doses for a long time. Doses greater than 250-300 mg daily have been linked to side effects. Side effects depend on the dose. At typical doses, the caffeine in guarana can cause insomnia, nervousness and restlessness, stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, increased heart rate and blood pressure. In any case you should consult with your doctor before using any herb especially if you have health problems.
