GUARANA​

Food supplement, 100 g powder

Guarana / Guarana, 100 g, powder , is a dietary supplement from the German company El Compra. Guarana is a plant that has a stimulating and tonic effect. It is used in weight loss diets, to improve sports performance, to reduce mental and physical fatigue. The fruit is a stimulant that is a common additive to energy drinks and weight loss products. Guarana is part of the therapeutic practices for chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as a good prevention against malaria and dysentery.

Guarana is a woody evergreen shrub native to Brazil. It has been used by indigenous communities in the Amazon for thousands of years for its naturally stimulating properties. The fruit, which is about the size of a coffee bean, is known for its distinctive appearance. It consists of a red outer skin and a white pulp that, when ripe, splits open to reveal its black seed. The seeds are separated from the skin and pulp of the fruit — then fermented, their extract roasted, and ground into a powder. Traditionally, this powder is consumed in tea or mixed into various drinks.

Guarana offers an impressive cocktail of natural antioxidant compounds, including the unique phytonutrient caffeine. It also contains saponins, bitters, and tannins. These bioactive substances are responsible for many of the fruit's health benefits.

The plant has the tonic effect of coffee, with the difference that the caffeine in guarana as a stimulant is released gradually - the effect lasts for four to six hours. This effect is most likely due to the fact that the caffeine in guarana seeds is bound to tannins, which must first be broken down before the caffeine is released and develops its invigorating effect. The stimulant is often incorrectly called guaranine. However, such a substance does not exist.

Health benefits :

• Provides a range of antioxidants
  

When it comes to antioxidants, guarana doesn’t disappoint. The Amazonian berry offers antioxidant compounds like theobromine, tannins, saponins, catechins, and caffeine. These antioxidants help the body fight free radicals and protect cells, tissues, and organs from oxidative stress.

• 
  
  Improving energy balance and focus
  
  

Guarana improves energy balance due to its caffeine content, which is stimulating for both the body and the mind. In fact, guarana contains four times more caffeine than coffee beans. In addition, the high antioxidant content in guarana also contributes to cognitive benefits - optimal focus and mental clarity.

• Supports learning and memory
  

The caffeine in guarana fuels cognitive activity and performance, including important processes such as memory, learning, information processing, and attention.

• Supports healthy digestion
  

As a source of caffeine, guarana can help improve digestive function. Caffeine contributes to intestinal contractions, effectively moving food through the gastrointestinal tract and promoting regularity in bowel movements. What's more, the tannins in the plant can regulate the secretion of water in the gastrointestinal tract, which may be especially beneficial for patients with constipation.

• Maintains skin health
  

Over time, free radicals and oxidative stress can reduce skin elasticity and accelerate the signs of aging. Getting plenty of antioxidants can help protect skin tissue against these effects. Additionally, the caffeine in guarana can improve blood flow to the skin, helping it look healthier and younger.

• 
  
  Supports normal heart function
  
  

Due to the rich antioxidant content of guarana, the plant boasts cardioprotective effects. Antioxidants are vital for maintaining overall health and heart function.

• Supports eye health
  

The antioxidants in guarana may help maintain good vision. This is especially important as we age, as our eyes age and visual acuity declines over time.
