Guarana Extract 22%
Overview
Content: Guarana Extract 22% is a highly concentrated botanical stimulant derived from the seeds of the Amazonian climber Paullinia cupana. While standard guarana powders contain the whole seed, this extract is precision-engineered to provide a potent, standardized dose of Natural Caffeine (Guaranine) at 22%. Historically used by the Sateré-Mawé tribe as a sacred tonic for stamina and cognitive clarity, this specific concentration represents one of the strongest natural sources of energy available in the nutraceutical market today.
The "22%" specification is critical for high-performance formulations. Because the caffeine in Guarana is naturally bound to tannins and polyphenols (procyanidins), it is absorbed more slowly by the body than the anhydrous caffeine found in synthetic energy drinks. This results in a "smooth-release" energy curve that enhances focus and physical performance for 4–6 hours without the jittery "spike and crash" phenomenon. Additionally, the extract contains trace amounts of theobromine and theophylline, which contribute to its bronchodilatory and mood-elevating effects.
Highlights
- Maximized Natural Caffeine: Standardized to 22%, allowing formulators to achieve high energy potency with lower inclusion doses, leaving more room for other active ingredients.
- Sustained-Release Energy: The complex tannin-caffeine matrix ensures a gradual metabolic breakdown, providing a steady state of mental alertness and reducing cardiovascular "jolting."
- Metabolic & Lipolytic Catalyst: Actively stimulates the breakdown of fats (lipolysis) and increases resting metabolic rate, making it a powerful tool for thermogenic weight loss.
- Rich in Antioxidant Phenols: Contains catechins and epicatechins that help protect the brain and vascular system from the oxidative stress often associated with high-intensity physical activity.
