Description
Guarana Extract Product Overview
Guarana extract is made from the seeds of Paullinia cupana, a climbing plant native to the Amazon. It is a brown fine powder that is partly soluble in water. Guarana seeds contain more caffeine than coffee beans, and extracts are standardized to about 10–22% caffeine, together with tannins and other natural compounds.
Beverage producers use it as a natural caffeine source in energy drinks, soft drinks and functional beverages. Producers of nutritional products use it in capsules, tablets and powders. Cosmetic formulators use it in body care products. In all cases, the caffeine content must be considered for labeling: in the EU, drinks above 150 mg caffeine per liter require a warning.
For pure caffeine, see Caffeine anhydrous; other natural caffeine and energy-related ingredients include Coffee Extract, Green Tea Extract and Taurine.
