Γκουαρανά Καρπός (Βραζιλιάνικο Κακάο, Paullinia cupana)

Guarana is a climbing plant native to Brazil, whose fruit is used for its various beneficial properties. The guarana fruit, either whole or powdered, has stimulant properties similar to coffee. It helps boost energy levels, focus, improve athletic performance and mental clarity. It is a body tonic and in combination with a balanced diet and exercise can increase the body's internal combustion and help reduce body fat. It has also been traditionally used in cases of headaches, migraine, neuralgia and to reduce fever.

To prepare a guarana infusion, add ½ to 1 teaspoon to boiling water, simmer for 5 minutes, then strain.

Due to the strong stimulating effect of guarana, it should not be over-consumed and it is recommended not to be combined with coffee and not to be consumed in the evening hours.
