Composition and main active compounds of Guarana
Beyond its historical past, guarana owes its fame to its unique composition. This plant contains an exceptionally high caffeine content, representing between 3.5 and 5% of the weight of its seeds. The caffeine in guarana is absorbed more slowly than that in coffee, giving guarana a prolonged effect and limiting irritation of the digestive system.
Caffeine, known for its beneficial effects in reducing fatigue and stimulating the body, plays an essential role in increasing basal metabolic activity. This property helps accelerate the process of burning stored fat, positioning Guarana as a potential ally in weight loss programs.
