The benefits of guarana

Guarana is a plant that has been used for centuries in Africa and South America. Appreciated for its many benefits, it is ideal for athletes and sedentary people alike. Nutrimuscle explains how to integrate guarana into your routine to benefit from its advantages.

What is guarana?

Native to South America, guarana is a plant that has been used by indigenous populations for centuries. It is recognizable by its bright red seeds and is known for its stimulating and revitalizing properties. Today, guarana is more popular as a dietary supplement due to its high caffeine content (2 to 3 times higher than coffee beans), tannins, and catechins.

The benefits of guarana

Guarana is a plant with multiple benefits. It is recommended for sedentary people as well as athletes to improve their physical and mental health.

Reduction of fatigue

The caffeine contained in guarana provides a boost when taken. Thanks to the presence of tannins, the caffeine is gradually released and increases its duration of action. Guarana is therefore ideal for fighting fatigue and boosting physical performance. Its stimulating properties improve energy levels and vitality.

Protection of the cardiovascular system

Cardiovascular health is preserved thanks to the presence of vasodilator polyphenols, thus facilitating the work of the heart. Guarana helps reduce erectile dysfunction and improves sexuality.

Action on cognitive performance

Guarana acts on mental and cognitive performance. It improves concentration, alertness and mental clarity. Some studies support that taking guarana could improve memory and learning ability.

In addition, this plant reduces brain fatigue and protects the brain from degenerative diseases. It is useful for both athletes and sedentary people.

Fat burning

As part of a diet, guarana accelerates fat burning thanks to its stimulant properties. Caffeine acts as a natural appetite suppressant, reducing appetite and, by extension, food portions. It is therefore not necessary to significantly reduce caloric intake because guarana helps regulate appetite and reduce food frustration.

How to integrate guarana into your daily routine?

It is recommended to start guarana gradually, starting with 2 capsules per day. If everything goes well and the body does not present any uncomfortable symptoms, it is possible to increase the doses by adding one capsule per day. The recommended number of capsules is 4 per day, maximum. It is not necessary to take very high doses: it is better to be satisfied with a moderate and effective dose.

To boost your performance before training, you can take 4 to 6 Nutrimuscle organic guarana capsules on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours before exercise.

Since guarana is an energy-boosting food supplement, it is not recommended to take it in the evening or in addition to ZMB or ZMP. This could delay the onset of sleep.
