​What is caffeine?​
 

Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world.  It stimulates the central nervous system, helping a person stay alert, active and in high spirits.

Caffeine can be artificially synthesized or extracted from the nature.  However, as the cost of caffeine obtained by extraction from natural sources is much higher than that obtained by chemical synthesis, synthetic caffeine is still the main source of caffeine.  When you see caffeine listed on the label of an energy drink, it is very likely to contain synthetic caffeine or caffeine anhydrous.  On the other hand, caffeine extracted from plants such as tea leaves, coffee and cocoa beans is called natural caffeine.

​Guarana​
 

Guarana fruit from the Amazon rainforest contains a naturally occurring caffeine and gives a very nice, level, non-jittery energy.   One of the main ingredients in guarana extract is a form of caffeine called guaranine.  Unlike artificial caffeine, guaranine is slow to release and stimulate the nervous system.  Since the seed is fatty and not water-soluble, it is not quick to absorb in the body, so the energy boost will escalate over a number of hours.  With the mild stimulant properties, this makes the active ingredients in guarana more beneficial for the body.  In the United States, guarana holds a �Generally Regarded As Safe� (GRAS) status from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  A 1998 toxicology study showed that guarana is nontoxic even at a dose of 2 grams of guarana per kilogram of body weight.
