Guarana Seed Powder 1.1lb | 500g 100% Pure & Factory Fresh GUARANÁ (Paulina cupana), the essence of Good Health, is a perennial plant indigenous to Brazil. The Amazonian Indians first discovered its beneficial medicinal value and today this value is reassured. Today the plant is known and used worldwide. Ninty percent of the worlds commercial production of guaraná is in the middle of the Amazon rainforest in northern Brazilstill performed by the Guarani Indians, who wild-harvest the seeds and process them into paste by hand. The Brazilian government has become aware of the importance of the local production of guaraná by traditional methods employed by indigenous inhabitants of the rainforest. Since 1980, FUNAI (National Indian Foundation) has set up a number of projects to improve the local production of guaraná . Now, under the direction of the FUNAI, many cooperatives in the rainforest support indigenous tribal economies through the harvesting and production of pesticide free guaraná. In the United States, guarana is reputed to enhance alertness and physical capacities, improve mood, suppress the appetite and have sexual stimulating effects. In addition to increasing endurance, it has a history of treating hangovers from alcohol abuse and headaches related to menstruation. Reader Reviews My secret weapon to perform hard work with a great attitude. Guanine (a caffeine analog) gives a long lasting stimulant boost while theobromine provides the attitude adujstment of chocolate. A wonderful delight that got me to quit coffee which is jittery, short-acting and just pale in comparison. Guanine is oil-based so it's hard to dissolve in water but that allows for slow-release in your body. Be brave, depending on your body size use a teaspoon to a tablespoon. If you can consume a tablespoon of coffee you can certainly consume a tbsp of this. Instead of trying to dissolve into liquid put it in Yogurt or Apple Sauce. Makes a great low calorie breakfast that stays with you and reduces hunger. Truly an amazing product that leaves a six-hour silly grin on my face with motivation to clean the garage ! |
