Reports of guarana’s use did not appear in Europe until the mid-1700s, but its high caffeine content – up to 5% of seeds – has made it a core ingredient in modern energy drinks.
ACTIVE COMPOUNDS OF GUARANA
Guarana is the strongest of all the caffeine drugs, being three times stronger than coffee. Some of its caffeine exists in a complex bond with several tannins, which gives it a longer-lasting action than coffee.
