Guarana Extract is a concentrated botanical extract derived from the seeds of Paullinia cupana, a climbing plant native to the Amazon basin in Brazil. Standardised to contain 22.55% caffeine (HPLC), Guarana Extract provides a naturally sourced, sustained-release caffeine ingredient distinctly different from synthetic caffeine — due to the tannin-bound matrix of the guarana seed that slows caffeine absorption, resulting in a gentler, longer-lasting energy effect with reduced jitteriness.
Guarana seeds contain approximately twice the caffeine concentration of coffee beans, making this standardised extract one of the most potent natural caffeine sources available for energy, sports performance, and cognitive enhancement supplement formulations.
