Guarana - Paullinia cupana

(62)

Guarana belongs in the stimulant category of drugs, along with the likes of coffee, tea, ephedra, khat and maté. It comes from the seeds of an Amazonian vine (Paullinia cupana) that look remarkably like horse chestnuts, and its usage dates back thousands of years. Many Indians consider it a gift of the Gods and use it as a hunting aid.

More info

Reports of guarana’s use did not appear in Europe until the mid-1700s, but its high caffeine content – up to 5% of seeds - has made it a core ingredient in modern energy drinks.

ACTIVE COMPOUNDS OF GUARANA

Guarana is the strongest of all the caffeine drugs, being three times stronger than coffee. Some of its caffeine exists in a complex bond with several tannins, which gives it a longer lasting action than coffee.

EFFECTS OF GUARANA

Guarana has potent stimulating effects but does not produce the same ‘jitters’ as coffee. The binding complex of guarana’s caffeine gives it an inhibiting effect on hunger and thirst sensations. Some people are immune to its effects (and can even become more tired) even at high doses.

PREPARATION, DOSAGE AND USE OF GUARANA

Indians grind the seeds and mix with manioc flour, which is allowed to ferment, then dried in the sun. Small amounts are shaved off the resulting loaf and used as a tea. Guarana extract in the West is used in chewing gum, teas and canned drinks.

    5 ETOILES
    J'ai longtemps snobé le Guarana que j'associais aux boissons énergisantes dégueulasses style Redbull et j'étais peu inspiré. L'énergie du café plus fort, plus longtemps et surtout sans palpitations ni tensions. Deux grammes le matin avec 2 grammes de Maca dans mon thé (le goût est agréable en tous cas pas mauvais) la pêche pour la matinée. Et merci Zamnesia pour le petit bonus vous avez tout compris =:)

    Génial dans le café !
    J'adore la Guarana, que je mélange avec du Maca dans mon café le matin. Ca met vraiment de bonne humeur :) Je mélange le paquet de 80g de Maca avec celui de 50g de Guarana. Possible également de combiner avec de la Noix de Kola.

    Bon produit
    Moi qui n'aime pas le café, j'ai voulu tester le guarana.. hormis le goût épicé ( pris dans un fond de verre d'eau) dur à avaler le matin, l'effet est garanti. Très rapidement après la prise je sens une certaine lucidité, une clarté mentale, de l'énergie même si la nuit à été de mauvaise qualité. Je commanderai à nouveau

    Boisson Guarana, un bon stimulant naturel
    Excellente boisson pour couper l'après midi et repartir en pleine forme. Ce qui est dommage c est que le contenu soit petit du coup le sachet dure seulement une petite semaine : il faudrait prévoir de plus grande quantité. En tout cas je vais le recommander car j apprécie le coup de fouet de cette petite boisson miracle.

    efficace
    très efficace et ça évite de boire du café lourd à digérer. question dosage je mets 4 grammes de poudre dans un mug d'eau chaude, je touille bien, ça se dilue bien, je laisse refroidir un peu et infuser. je bois ça en début d'aprèm quand le coup de barre se fait sentir et j'ai la pêche pour l’après-midi.

    Efficace
    Pris en poudre. Efficace, donne un bon coup de boost comme le café, les palpitations en moins. Se dilue bien dans un jus ou dans du lait.

Hello i was looking for this stuff, but i really don't know ho to use it. Can someone tell me how to get the best effect from this? I have to prepare a thea with tis or what else? Whitch one get the best effects? The solid or the dusty one?

The Guarana that we sell is to be made into a tea. The solid and powder kind both turn into a tea however the solid requires some more preparation. The solid kind must be ground down into a powder for best results. We sell both as it is the personal preference for some customers to use the solid kind, I believe the taste/ feeling is a little different.

Non bevo caffè', perché' mi provoca tremori, e vorrei sapere se posso usare il guarana', considerato che pur contenendo per tre volte la dose di caffeina del caffè' non provoca gli stessi effetti collaterali.

Guarana is a common ingredient in energy caps and drinks. Guarana powder contains about 4.2% caffeine and several other components like guaranine, theobromine and theofilline. Please consult a doctor if you are unsure about whether or not you can safely consume this product. We cannot give any form of medical advise.
