Guarana Seeds – Organic, Whole

Guarana Seeds come from a berry native to the Amazon rainforest, long valued in Brazil for its naturally energizing qualities. With a bold, slightly bitter flavor, the seeds are often roasted and ground for use in teas, soft drinks, and other beverages.

Convenient and versatile, guarana can also be blended into smoothies, coffees, or culinary recipes for a distinctive taste. A traditional ingredient with a strong flavor profile, it remains a popular choice for exploring Amazonian flavors.

• Named after the Guarani Indians from the Amazon, guarana seed has been used traditionally to boost energy, increase mental alertness, suppress appetite, and support healthy digestion.
• The active ingredient in guarana is called guaranine which is chemically very similar to caffeine.
• Guaranine is marketed today to western customers in popular energy drinks

Whole Organic Guarana Seeds

Traditionally used to support healthy bowels, native cultures found that Guarana Seeds could stimulate mental alertness and support a healthy appetite.

The guarana tree is named after the Guarani Indians, a South American tribe that used it to support a healthy digestive system and support healthy stamina and physical endurance levels.

Guarana drinks are trendy in Brazilian culture. Many people take it daily as a health tonic to possibly relieve heat exhaustion, support healthy aging, and healthy detoxification in the body. Guarana soda is Brazil’s national beverage!

One of the active ingredients in non-GMO guarana is called guaranine. Today, guaranine is marketed to Western consumers in popular energy drinks. Some research claims that guaranine is caffeine. However, guaranine’s beneficial antioxidants are not found in other caffeine sources.

Guarana is the largest provider of caffeine found in nature containing around seven percent more caffeine than other plants and close to two and a half times the amount of caffeine in coffee. The main difference in the caffeine found in guarana comes from how it is released into the body. Guaranine is not water-soluble and is released into the bloodstream much slower, providing a longer sustained effect as a stimulant. Guarana slows digestion, keeping food in the stomach longer, which may promote feelings of fullness.

Guarana may also benefit the heart and support healthy blood pressure levels.

Guarana seed has traditionally been used in the Amazon for years to boost energy, suppress appetite, and stimulate the body and mind. This secret of the rainforest is now available to you.
