Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a species
of climbing plant native to the Amazon regions known for its stimulant & medicinal
properties. Guarana is primarily produced in the Brazilian states of Amazonas
and Bahia. It has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples of the Amazon
for its diuretic properties, therapeutic effects against headaches, fever, and
cramps, and aphrodisiac effects. Guarana seeds contain high amounts of methylxanthines
and tannins, as well as saponins, starches, polysaccharides, pigments, fats,
and choline. The methylxanthines, which include caffeine, theophylline, and
theobromine, are found in the organs and seeds of the plant. With a taste that
is described as slightly bitter, astringent, and acidic, guarana powder
dissolved in water is considered by indigenous peoples as an elixir that
promotes long life.
