Guarana

Guarana (Paulinnia cupana) is native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil. The herb was used by many indigenous tribes as a stimulant during hunting. Indigenous Brazilians use guarana dissolved in water or bake breads from it (quarana breads or bastãu). Guarana is four times stronger than coffee. The caffeine in guarana is absorbed into the body more evenly and better than regular caffeine.


Effects

Guarana has the same properties as coffee: it can give a boost and provide more energy. It can reduce the need for sleep. In combination with other energy stimulants such as taurine and caffeine, the effect of guarana is enhanced. Some people also use the herb as a drug used for the purpose of stimulating the sex drive.
