Deep in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, on a plant of large leaves and white flowers, grows the multifaceted Guarana seed (Paullinia cupana, Brazilian cocoa). Named after the Amazonian Guarani tribe, the lush green plant has been a fixture of native culture for centuries. According to Brazilian mythology, the first Guarana plant was grown by a king who planted the eye of a child villager.

The Guarana seed's natural versatility makes it not only a highly effective coffee substitute, but a natural nootropic as well. Guarana can even be used topically as an anti-aging serum. While further research is still warranted, other potential benefits include: antidepressant effects, cardiovascular support, libido enhancement, neuro-protection, longevity promotion and weight loss.

With naturally occurring caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, tannins, and flavonoids, scientists believe the synergistic interactions of these and other compounds are what makes Guarana's effects so diversely profound.
