GUARANA / GUARANA
Food supplement, 120 capsules
Guarana / Guarana, 120 capsules , is a food supplement of 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 often added to energy drinks and weight loss products. Guarana is part of the therapeutic practices for chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as a good prophylaxis against malaria and dysentery.
Guarana is a twisted evergreen shrub that grows in Brazil. For thousands of years it has been used by indigenous communities in the Amazon for its naturally stimulating properties. The fruit, which is about the size of a coffee bean, is known for its peculiar appearance. It consists of a red outer shell and a white pulp which, when ripe, opens to reveal its black seed. The seeds are separated from the skin and pulp of the fruit - then fermented, their extract is roasted and ground into a powder. Traditionally, this powder is consumed in tea or mixed with various drinks.
Guarana offers an impressive cocktail of natural antioxidant compounds, including the unique phytonutrient caffeine. It also contains saponins, bitter substances and tannins. These bioactive substances are responsible for much of the fruit's health benefits.
The plant has the tonic effect of coffee with the difference that the caffeine in guarana as the stimulant is released gradually - the effect lasts 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 can be released and develop its invigorating effect. The stimulant substance 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 does not disappoint. The Amazon berry offers antioxidant compounds such as 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 body and mind. In fact, guarana contains four times more caffeine than coffee beans. In addition, guarana's high antioxidant content 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 bowel contractions, effectively moving food through the gastrointestinal tract and promoting bowel regularity. What's more - the tannins in the composition of the plant can regulate the secretion of water in the gastrointestinal tract, which can be especially useful for patients with constipation.
Over time, free radicals and oxidative stress can reduce skin elasticity and accelerate the signs of aging. Taking 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 to 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 body health and heart function.
The antioxidants in guarana can help maintain good vision. This is especially important as we age, as our eyes age and visual acuity decreases over time.
