What is Guarana Seed Powder?

Discover Guarana Seed Powder — Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a plant native to the Brazilian Amazon, whose seeds have traditionally been used for their natural caffeine content. This Mood & Mind guarana seed powder comes in a 448-gram (16 oz) format, ideal for incorporating into your daily routine.

Guarana caffeine is released more gradually than coffee caffeine, which can provide a sustained energetic effect. It is a versatile supplement that can be added to smoothies, juices, or simply mixed with water.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement.

• Caffeine helps to increase alertness and improve concentration.
• Caffeine helps to reduce fatigue and tiredness.

These effects are obtained with an intake of 75 mg of caffeine (approximately a moderate dose of guarana powder). As always, results may vary for each person.
