Q: Is guarana powder the same as caffeine?
A: No, but it is a potent natural source of caffeine. Guarana powder comes from the seeds of a Amazonian plant and contains approximately 3.5%-5% caffeine by weight. However, it also contains other natural compounds like theophylline, theobromine, and tannins, which are believed to create a more sustained energy release compared to pure caffeine, with less of a “crash.”
Q: How much guarana powder should I use?
A: Dosage depends on your caffeine tolerance. A standard starting dose is 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon (roughly 500 mg to 1 gram).
Important: Since guarana is about 4% caffeine, 1 gram provides about 40 mg of caffeine. Start low (e.g., 1/8 tsp) to assess your tolerance.
Use: Mix the powder into water, juice, or a smoothie. It has a bitter, earthy taste.
Q: What are the side effects of guarana powder?
A: Side effects are primarily related to its high caffeine content and may include:
Common: Anxiety, jitters, insomnia, rapid heartbeat, and stomach upset.
With High Doses: Headaches, nausea, and nervousness.
Important Considerations:
It can interact with medications, especially blood thinners and stimulants.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with heart conditions or caffeine sensitivity should avoid it.
Due to its potency, consistent high use can lead to caffeine dependence.
