Guaraná
Guaraná is well known for its stimulant and thermogenic effects. It is used by millions of Brazilians each day to overcome fatigue, combat premature aging, and detoxify the body. In the US guaraná is used to increase mental alertness, fight fatigue, and increase stamina and physical endurance. The xanthine alkaloids (theophylline, theobromine, caffeine) give guarana its therapeutic activity. In clinical studies, theophylline has shown to stimulate the heart and central nervous system, enhance alertness and alleviate fatigue. It is also a strong diuretic and reduces constriction of the bronchials, making it useful in asthma. Theobromine has similar effects on the body while caffeine has been shown to facilitate fat loss and reduce fatigue.
