Guarana is a creeping shrub. The fruit is small, bright-red and contains black seeds.
Habitat and growth condition: Guarana grows wild in the Amazon rain forests in Venezuela and northern Brazil.
Production and preparation
Effective ingredients and flavours are extracted with water, and these watery ectracts are used for further production of drinks and herbal drugs.
Effective constituents and their basic reactions
Guarana contains the caffeine like substances guaranine, theobromine and theophylline. All these substances stimulate the central nervous system and the metabolic activity. The nervous stimulation is the basis of many other actions of guarana.
Guarana seeds are very rich in caffein like substances and contain up to 4-8% such compunds, more than coffee beans, which contain approximately 1-2.5% caffeine. The seeds are also rich in tannins and xanthine alkaloids.
Medical effects
Guarana increases mental alertness, fight fatigue and increase stamina and physical endurance.
Guarana increases the breakdown and elimination of fat and sugar to yield heat. This breakdown is commonly called burning of fat and sugar and a drug that increases this activity is called thermogenic.
The herb helps loose weight because of the induced extra burning of fat and sugar.
The Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics published a study in June 2001 showing an average 11.2 pound weight loss in a group taking a mixture of yerba mate, guaraná and damiana, compared to an average 1 pound loss in a placebo group after 45 days.
Guarana stimulates the activity in the nervous system. It makes a person more allert, helps memory and gives a person a more effective thinking process.
Guarana gives a person higher energy because the fat and sugar broken down can be used as a energy source for bodily activity, because of the higher nervous activity and because the effects make the body somewhat warmer.
Guarana also increases the production of urine and thus helps to eliminate excessive fluid stored in the body.
Further it reduces the platelet aggregation and can help prevent blood clot formation and thereby the chance of getting heart attack and stroke caused by blood clots.
Guarana also works as an anti-oxydant that can help avoid tissue damage and give the tissue an opportunity to recover from damage.
Traditional medical uses
In the Tupi and Guaraní indian cultures, the herb is used to regain strength and to cure bowel problems.
Uses in modern herbal drugs: In modern herbal products the herb is mostly used to increase wakedness and increase the feeling of energy. For this purpose it is often added to soft drinks.
It is also used to increase the sugar and fat burning, in order to help loose weight. However it is further used to help blood circulation and prevent blood clots.
Uses in alimentary products: Guarana is used in many sift drinks because of the ability to increase the alertness and enegry level and because of the fruity taste of the extract. In North America and Europe, guarana has recently become a popular ingredient in energy drinks and teas.
Safety precautions: The safety of guarana for pregnant and lactating women and their shil is not well investifated. Guarana should not be used by people who are sensitive to caffeine or Xanthines. People with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, epilepsy, overactive thyroid, anxiety, insomnia, and kidney disease should be cautious with the amount of guarana used.

Theanine reduces mental stress. It also helps to reduce physical stress.
Teanine also strengthens the memory processes and helps to effectivize thinking. When caffeine and theanine is used together, these effects are especially great.
Theanine promote alpha.wave states of the brain, states characterized by a high degree of relaxation.
Theanine may also effectivice the immune system, especially the function of delta-T-cells.
Thenin's primarily seems to increase the overall level of the brain inhibitory transmitter GABA.
Theanine also increases brain dopamine levels and has micromolar affinities for AMPA, Kainate and NMDA receptors. I
It has also been found that injecting spontaneously hypertensive mice with theanine significantly lowered levels of 5-hydroxyindoles in the brain.
Researchers also speculate that it may inhibit glutamic acid excitotoxicity.
Inositol is a cyclic alcohol with the formula C6 H6 (OH)6. It occurs in 6 isomeric (geometrically different) forms. The must important in the nature, including the human body, is cis-1,2,3,5-trans-4,6-cyclohexanehexol, or myo-inositol.
It is found in all food sources, but in greatest amount in cereals with high bran content, nuts, beans, and fruit, especially cantaloupe melons and oranges. The supplement called lecitine has a very high inositol-content.
The role of inositol in the body
Inositol has many important functional and structural functions both in humans, animals and plants.
It is a component in the phospholipid called phosfatidyl-inositol. This lipid is a component in all cell membranes and of the white insulating stuff in the brain and the nerves called myeline. Thus inositol participate in the structural properties and functions of cell membranes and nervous tissues.
The body can also make inositol for daily functions and growth activities. but herhaps not in optimal amounts.
Inositol is important for many specific functions, of which most have connection with the structure and function of cell membrans.
It is a tool in the transduction of signals from the hormone insuline inside cells so that the body cells can respond to signals from that hormone.
It is a also important in the transduction of signals from the hormone-neurotransmittor acetylcholine inside cells so that nerve cells and body cells can respond to signals from that substance.
It is important for proper nerve signal transmission.
Inositol is a tool used to build and maintain the inner structural framework in cells, mostly consisting of proteins, that give the cells their
shape and mechanical dynamics, the cytoscheleton.
It helps in intracellular calcium (Ca2+) concentration control.
Inositol is a tool in membrane potential maintenance.
It is a tool in the transport and breakdown of fat and cholesterole. It helps to maintain proper blood cholesterole levels.
It is used in the mechanisms of gene expression.
Medical effects of inositol supplements
People suffering from depression often have reduced levels of inositol in the body.
Supplements of myo-inositol has shown positive theraputic results in the treatment of mental diseases like bulimia, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, agoraphobia, and unipolar and bipolar depression.

Inositol can help to strengthen the structure of hairs.
Inositol may help against high cholesterole and high fat levels in the blood.
