Guarana Herb
Guarana herb is native to Brazil, where it is prized for various uses, and often used in drinks as a health tonic. Nowadays, guarana is an ingredient that is also used in some of the most popular weight loss/fat burning supplements on the market today. For example, it is a key ingredient in the new hydroxycut fat burner, as well as stacker 3 fat burner. The guarana seed extract is what is used in many of these formulas, and it has properties that are almost idential to caffeine. This compound in guarana herb that is similar to caffeine is called tetra methylxanthine. However, what is interesting (and different) is that this caffeine-like substance is released slowly, over the course of many hours. The result is that it produces a lasting energy boost, which increases over that time period. By contrast, anyone who drinks caffeinated coffee knows that the stimulating effects tend to last briefly and then when it ends, you often feel lethargic and tired. Why explains this phenomenon? Experts say that guarana seed extract is not water-soluble...this means the body does not absorb it quickly, but slowly. In any case, because of its ability to produce an enduring energy boost, guarana seed extract in these fat burning/weight loss supplements may actually boost the body's metabolic rate (it has thermogenic properties), as well as act as an appetite suppressant. Other uses for guarana seed extract include: fighting fatigue, boosting endurance and stamina, helping to alleviate headaches. Precautions on Guarana HerbBecause guarana seed extract is a stimulant, it can have side effects. For one, if you know you don't react well to caffeine, you should avoid products with guarana herb in it. Some possible side effects include: the jitters, restlessness, nausea, dizziness and anxiousness. It's always advisable that should you decide to take any fat burning/weight loss supplements you do so with care and never exceed the recommended dosages.
