October 18, 2021 Ingredient Spotlight: Guarana Extract Share on: The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes family get-togethers, holiday travel, shopping for that perfect present, and a seemingly endless food coma from all the seasonal goodies. As much as we love our holiday fun, this busy season can easily drain our energy and leave us physically and mentally exhausted. So, what do many of us reach for? Caffeine. In fact, a recent Statista survey found that more than 47% of Americans consume energy drinks several times a week.1 But let’s be honest. Most caffeinated drinks can only get you so far, and most caffeine products target only energy. Additionally, many are filled with sugar, artificial ingredients, and unhealthy amounts of caffeine that may give you a temporary spike, but it’s typically followed by a crash that leaves you even more tired than before. That’s because the average energy drink lacks naturally sourced caffeine and other beneficial nutrients like nootropics that can promote focus, alertness, and concentration. So, how can you get your daily caffeine fix and meet those energy needs that make you reach for one of these drinks in the first place? Introducing Guarana! What is Guarana? Guarana is a climbing plant native to the Amazon Basin, particularly Brazil. The guarana plant has large leaves, flowers, and fruit, and is best known for its seeds. Guarana seeds are roughly the same size as coffee beans but contain almost twice the amount of caffeine — about 2 to 4.5% caffeine compared to 1 to 2% in coffee seeds.3 Guarana Benefits Guarana helps with physical and mental fatigue and provides a natural energy boost. It has shown to benefit cognitive health, enhance performance, and support weight management. Beyond caffeine, guarana is loaded with compounds that have antioxidant properties and are similar in antioxidant profile to green tea. Since there are no natural food sources of guarana, the best way to consume it is in a healthy, natural energy drink like Kyäni ON™.
