Guarana Extract Health+ · 120 capsules

The guarana extract capsules from HEALTH+ are the ideal dietary supplement for a long-lasting, continuously releasing energy boost

The extract is obtained from the guarana plant (Paullinia cupana), which belongs to the soap tree family and is native to the Amazon region. This plant was used as a paste in the Amazon basin centuries ago. Today, it is mainly the peeled and dried seeds that are ground into a light brown powder, dissolved in water and sweetened with honey. Guarana extract is also known and popular as a soft drink similar to lemonade. Chocolate, tea, chewing gum and energy drinks are also enriched with it. Prepared as a drink, guarana has a similar stimulating effect to coffee. Athletes and bodybuilders also use it as a performance-enhancing dietary supplement. However, as the taste is very tart and bitter, they prefer to take it in capsule form.

How do guarana caspules work

Depending on the quality of the guarana extract obtained, the caffeine content is between 4 and 10%. In HEALTH+ capsules, the caffeine content is 10%, which corresponds to 50-100mg of pure caffeine in a serving of 1-2 capsules. Taking guarana can boost performance levels and increase alertness. The capsules can be particularly beneficial as a dietary supplement in phases when there are hardly any opportunities for recovery (long workouts or travel). They are taken unchewed with sufficient liquid before sporting activity or as required.

Guarana is a particularly gentle and pleasant source of caffeine, as it is gentler on the stomach and therefore more suitable for sensitive people. It is absorbed slowly by the body and releases its effects gently. HEALTH+ guarana extract capsules are a particularly good alternative for people who have problems after drinking coffee or other caffeinated drinks, for example. The dietary supplement not only has a much gentler effect than caffeine capsules, but also has a longer-lasting effect. The half-life - the time after which the value of the substance in the body has halved and continues to decrease - is between 2.5 and 4.5 hours for caffeine. The half-life of guarana, on the other hand, is between 4 and 6 hours. As a pick-me-up and stay-awake aid, the capsules with the plant extract therefore provide energy and vitality for longer.
