Kosher freeze dried Guarana is a plant of the Amazon that is found in parts of Venezuela and Brazil. The berries of this plant have a number of health benefits, including the ability to burn fat and increase energy, among others. Today’s common use of guarana is in energy drinks and sports nutrition drinks due to its energizing effects. Guarana contains a high amount of "Guaranine", a chemical substance with the same characteristics as caffeine.

Improvement of short-term, high-intensity performance and power. Increasing blood pressure in people who have low blood pressure. How does it work? Guarana contains guaranine that works by stimulating the central nervous system (CNS), heart, and muscles. Guarana also contains theophylline and theobromine, which are chemicals similar to caffeine. Guarana may be more effective than coffee with regards to its energizing power, as guarana is released more slowly into the body to provide sustained energy. Natural guarana has also been shown in studies to improve memory and alertness and often improve a person's mood without the same negative side-effects of coffee. The guarana plant has also been used in helping treat a myriad of other conditions such as: Urinary tract infections Diarrhea Painful menstruation Headaches Reducing anxiety Enhancing sexual performance Protection against malaria Warning: Like other energy stimulants, if consumed in large amounts, guarana may cause insomnia. Due to the high caffeine content of guarana, it is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure or heart conditions.
