Guarana powder, raw, vegan, organic
Guarana is the well-known stimulant from the Brazilian rain forest. It
increases concentration keeps a clear head and drives out mental boredom.
Guararana also works as a sexual stimulant. Mixed with coffee it strengthens
the effect of the caffeine, which means extra energy. We go the more natural
route and mix it with maca.
Wow! Try it when doing your homework, working or during a long car journey.
Origins
Guarana is a woody evergreen climbing vine which adopts a semi-erect
posture when cultivated in the open. It is indigenous to the Amazon Basin
and is mainly cultivated between Maues and Manau in Brazil. The fruit
of Guarana is hazelnut size, deep yellow to red orange which bursts open
to expose one purple-brown to black seed. The traditional uses of the
seed include headaches, fever, cramps, stimulant, aphrodisiac, prevention
against bacterial infections, tonic, and supporting good health.
