Paullinia cupana, or guarana, is a plant native to northern Brazil and other regions of the Amazon. Its extract is used most popularly in energy drinks. I’m talking just-as-popular-as-cola-based sodas popular. In Brazil, guarana drinks are thought of as “health tonics,” nodding to the multiple effects of the plant’s extract involving cognitive state, weight loss, fatigue, and heart health.
The Caffeine Connection
Many people claim that guarana supplements help shed fat. It is a rich source of caffeine, with 4-6 times more caffeine than coffee beans, which makes it less than ideal to take before bed. Caffeine actually boosts metabolism and has been found to suppress genes that aid fat cell production, thereby promoting genes that slow it down.
Keep 'em Going with Guarana
What bogs your customers down from their weight loss goals? Distraction. It just creates an unnecessary roadblock, getting in the way of what your customers can achieve. Back to the caffeine content, but it can help maintain the focus needed to reach higher and go longer.
