• Increase in performance
• Stimulation of kidney activity
• Blood thinning effect
• Increasing brain activity
• Improvement of heart activity
• Dilatation of the blood vessels

3. the ingredients of guarana

The guarana plant has been known for centuries by the inhabitants of the Amazon basin. The caffeine contained in the guarana plant promotes concentration and keeps you awake.

In addition to the caffeine it contains, the guarana plant also contains many valuable ingredients:

• Tannins
• Minerals
• Saponins
• Thephylline
• Theobromine

4. guarana in the form of food supplements

Guarana is commercially available in the form of dietary supplements. It comes in the form of guarana capsules and guarana tablets. As a natural way, guarana is still offered in the form of guarana powder. All forms are easy to use and enter the circulation quickly. However, guarana tablets are sold in pharmacies, which in many cases contain artificial additives or have been manufactured abroad. Guarana capsules often contain only the active ingredient in a vegetable cellulose shell and can therefore be produced without fillers. Guarana capsules or guarana tablets should be taken with sufficient liquid (for example water or juice). It does not matter whether Guarana is taken before or after a meal. However, if you have a sensitive stomach and cannot take Guarana tablets or Guarana capsules on an empty stomach, you should eat something beforehand and take the supplements afterwards. In general, it should always be ensured that the product was produced in Germany in order to guarantee a consistently high supplement quality. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product has also been produced safely and is of high quality.

5. conclusion: Guarana in pregnancy?

Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not advised to take guarana, as this has not yet been scientifically proven. Pregnant women are allowed to drink small amounts of coffee, however, decaffeinated coffee is recommended in this case to avoid the caffeine. Generally, guarana can be taken in the form of capsules and tablets. Both forms are easy to use and enter the circulation quickly.
