High-quality Guarana powder

Guarana comes from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil and has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples as a natural energy booster.

Amazon guarana is sustainably and organically harvested – sometimes even from wild growth – and carefully processed to preserve its full nutrient content, making it a powerful natural supplement for energy, focus, and vitality.

Guarana is a plant from the Amazon region whose seeds are particularly rich in natural caffeine. Guarana is used as a natural energy source to combat fatigue, enhance concentration, and boost performance – all without artificial additives.

Guarana seeds are just another name for guarana seeds, i.e. the part of the guarana plant that is used for consumption. The guarana seeds grow wrapped in a red plant husk. The seeds are only ripe when the shell has burst open and they are harvested.

Guarana delivers naturally slow-releasing caffeine, providing sustained energy without the sudden “caffeine crash” often associated with coffee.
It stimulates alertness, supports concentration, and boosts metabolism, helping you stay energized and perform at your best for hours.

The caffeine in coffee is bound to a chlorogenic acid-potassium complex. After roasting and contact with stomach acid, the caffeine is released quickly - it acts quickly but only briefly and can irritate the stomach.

Guaraná is different: here the caffeine is bound to polyphenols and tannins (secondary plant substances). These delay the release so that the caffeine is only absorbed in the intestine. This is easy on the stomach, prevents excessive stomach acid production and ensures a gentle, long-lasting effect - often lasting 5 to 9 hours.

Even people who are sensitive to coffee generally tolerate the caffeine from guarana seeds very well.

The caffeine from the guarana plant takes effect after around 45 minutes, which is how long it takes for the caffeine to be absorbed into the bloodstream via the gastrointestinal tract. From there, the guarana caffeine acts on the central nervous system and the muscles and lasts between 5 and 9 hours until the caffeine is completely broken down.

Guarana can be taken on an empty stomach, but it is best to test carefully how the body reacts to it.

The caffeine in guarana seeds has a similar effect to that in mate or matcha. However, guarana contains a higher concentration of caffeine.

Guarana is known for its stomach-friendly effect. In contrast to coffee, guarana is particularly well tolerated by people who have stomach problems. It also has a mild antipyretic effect and is known for its invigorating effect. However, it is precisely this invigorating effect that can develop into a side effect if too much guarana is consumed, just as is the case with high coffee consumption. The following symptoms can occur: Trembling, restlessness, headaches, palpitations, diarrhea. These symptoms are not generally side effects, but rather symptoms caused by an overdose.

Guarana is mainly available in powder form, which can be consumed pure or processed into energy bars, tablets, capsules or in combination with other superfoods. In liquid form, it is usually added to drinks. However, this is guarana concentrate, which is obtained by extraction with alcohol, dichloromethane or ethyl acetate. The extraction process can increase the caffeine content to around 10%, making it more intense but less smooth, and as isolated caffeine it no longer has the long-lasting effect of natural caffeine.

Guarana powder can be easily mixed into smoothies, juices, yogurt, or water.
Recommended dosage: About 1–3 g of powder per day, depending on the desired effect and individual tolerance.

Pure guarana powder has a slightly bitter, earthy taste. To enhance its flavor, it is recommended to mix the powder into fruit juices, smoothies, or yogurt.
Important: Only high-quality, finely ground organic guarana powder – such as Amazonas Guarana – dissolves easily when stirred with a spoon or whisk and offers a pleasantly mild taste.

Guarana is best taken in the morning or before physical or mental activity—such as before exercise, studying, or long workdays. It is generally not recommended in the evening, as its natural caffeine content may affect sleep, although this can vary from person to person.
