Many of you have probably heard of guarana but I’m sure you’re not alone in actually wondering exactly what it is and what it is used for. Well guarana is derived from the guarana plant, a native shrub to Brazil and it is renowned worldwide for its high caffeine content..
Guarana is also famed for its rejuvenating factors and it contains as much as 3 times the caffeine content than coffee. Guarana has been used in Brazil for centuries and it is commonly added to soft drinks. More and more soft drink suppliers are now switching to guarana to add that vital energy lift so many of us need because of our hectic lifestyles and workload.
Guarana has also become popular as a legal high over the last few years as a serving of just 1-2 grammes can produce a buzz that lasts for up to 4 hours. Think major caffeine intake!
Guarana is also used in many leading weigh loss and diet pills as it is increases the metabolism which makes the body burn fat quicker and it also suppresses the appetite making us feel less hungry. This alone makes it a very popular product across the diet/weigh loss industry so if you are looking for a natural way to lose weight guarana could be the product you’ve been looking for.
Athletes can also benefit from the effects of guarana as it combats fatigue, which enables you to train harder and longer. It also helps the body to recover more quickly from illness and injury which means you can get back to training much sooner. So if you’re looking for a natural supplement that will boost your current training then we would recommend you try guarana for yourself.
Guarana is available in many different forms and it really is a matter of personal preference, which would suit you and your lifestyle best. We always recommend looking for pure guarana products as many of today’s products can contain fillers, which serve no purpose other than ‘bulking out’ the product.
Our favourite way is to simply mix a teaspoon of guarana powder with a little fruit juice and drink in one shot. However, you can take 2-3 capsules (depending on strength) for the same hit.
As with any caffeine products anyone thinking of taking guarana should consult their family GP for advice, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or suffering from any other medical conditions or currently taking any prescribed medication.
