Paullinia cupana – Guaraná

Paullinia cupana, also known as guarana, is a fruit bearing tree, the seeds of which are ground into powder and used in traditional Amazonian medicine. Guarana is supplemented primarily for its stimulant properties. Though guarana has a high caffeine content, the average guarana dose is low enough to prevent the caffeine from playing an active role.

How To Take Guaraná

Guaraná is an effective stimulant: its seeds contain about twice the concentration of caffeine found in coffee beans, about 2–4.5% caffeine in guarana seeds compared to 1–2% for coffee beans. Guarana increased memory retention, physical endurance and increase alertness and mood.

To supplement guarana, take 50 – 75mg once a day, before noon. Two divided dose of 50 mg (once after waking up and once shortly after noon) can also be used, for a total daily dose of 100 mg.
