What is the effectiveness of guarana for weight loss?

Guarana seeds, dried and ground into powder, are used to make effective weight loss supplements. Due to the caffeine content, supplemented with other components, it is possible to get an incredible boost of energy. This is important during intense training; it also makes it easier to stick to a diet, cleanse the blood and blood vessels of cholesterol, which is especially important for those who are losing weight.

Tannin in combination with caffeine has a gentle effect on the stomach and intestines, which is not typical for our usual coffee. In addition, guarana dulls appetite, accelerates overall metabolism in the body, has a diuretic effect, eliminating excess water and toxins, and also promotes weight loss.

With all this, it will not be possible to lose weight on guarana alone, without any physical activity. Guarana extract enhances the effects of training by increasing heat production in fatty tissues. This process is called thermogenesis, the essence of which is the burning of fat during intense physical activity. In other cases, that is, with a sedentary lifestyle, guarana is simply useless for weight loss.

What it is

Guarana is an evergreen tree climbing vine and shrub. Can climb up to a height of 10 meters. The habitat is the Amazonian lowland in South America.

Description

It is distinguished by dark branches, large oblong leaves with carved edges and large reddish-white flowers growing in whole bunches (inflorescences). In the third year, it begins to produce fruits the size of hazelnuts, covered with thin skin of bright yellow or gray-green color with a blood-red top. After ripening, it opens and reveals a seed (black or blue-purple) the size of a large grape, which resembles an eye. Fruits in the winter months. After 5 years, up to 3 kg of crop is harvested from one bush.

The fruits successfully compete with coffee beans. After all, they have twice as much caffeine. In this way, the plant protected itself from pathogenic microbes, because in such a high concentration this substance becomes a toxin.

Seed treatment

The fruits are collected and soaked to separate the seeds from the pulp (otherwise it begins to ferment and contributes to the rapid appearance of mold). Wash, dry and fry to remove the skin. The final stage is crushing into a fine powder. It is the extract that is added to dietary supplements and food products. The local population dilutes it with water or milk - the resulting drink is similar in taste and properties to coffee or cocoa.

Production

Guarana was first mentioned in chronicles of the 16th century by Spanish writers. The use of fruits for commercial purposes was started by a Brazilian doctor, Luis Pereira Barreto. In 1906, he launched the production of soda water on its basis, and then the famous brand of champagne “Guarana Champagne Antarctica”.

In the middle of the 20th century, the fruits began to be used in the food industry in large quantities. They are used to produce not only energy drinks, but also tea, chocolate, pasta, sweets, lollipops, and chewing gum. In Brazil, it is generally difficult to find a product that does not contain guarana extract, from breakfast muesli to toothpaste. In South America it is the main source of caffeine.

Today, guarana is most often promoted as a natural fat-burning supplement for weight loss and sports nutrition with psychostimulating and tonic effects. However, the degree of effectiveness is questioned by many, including official medicine.

Origin of name. It comes from Portuguese: "guarana" translated from the Maue language (Amazonian people) means "fruit - like human eyes."

Preparations with guarana for weight loss
Despite the suspicious attitude of official medicine and the FDA towards guarana, supplements based on it have proven themselves to be excellent fat-burning agents and sports nutrition with the effect of energy drinks. There are much more positive reviews than negative ones, and the risk of undesirable consequences is not so high compared to herbal counterparts. Even coffee is significantly inferior to it, acting more aggressively not only on the gastrointestinal tract, but also on other body systems.

Compound

The value of guarana is in its seeds, which contain large amounts of caffeine. Some sources call it guaranine. Its properties are identical to caffeine from coffee beans. But here its content is twice as high: 20 mg per 100 g of natural source.

However, the valuable properties of the plant are not dictated only by caffeine. The seeds also contain other useful biologically active substances:

• xanthine alkaloids (among them are theophylline and theobromine, which are natural pacemakers);
• polyphenols (antioxidant flavonoids catechin and epicatechin);
• amides (derivatives of oxygen-containing acids);
• saponins;
• vitamins A, E and almost the entire group B (most of all thiamine, niacin and riboflavin);
• many minerals: zinc, magnesium, manganese, potassium, iron, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, copper;
• tannins.

It is a protein plant food with zero calories. Does not contain carbohydrates. Minimum fat.

This is interesting. Some South American tribes valued the beneficial properties of guarana so much that they used it as a means of payment.

Benefit

A large number of dietary supplements are produced based on guarana seeds. Most often they are promoted as energy drinks (in sports nutrition) and fat-burning agents (in dietetics). In addition to these basic properties, they are credited with many others that are beneficial to health.

For good health

Guarana seeds have long been used by South American tribes to treat various diseases. To date, some studies have partially confirmed the health benefits. But the experiments and tests carried out are not enough to officially declare the plant medicinal and use it in pharmacology.

It is believed that guarana seed extract has a healing effect on the body:

• relieves various types of pain - from headaches to toothaches;
• lowers fever, relieving fever;
• eliminates spasms;
• strengthens the immune system, reducing the risk of bacterial infections;
• relieves fatigue, increases performance;
• helps against arthritis, reducing inflammation in the joints;
• improves digestion, stopping diarrhea;
• cures hangover;
• reduces the risk of developing CVD: atherosclerosis, ischemia, heart attack;
• normalizes the condition of dysentery and neuralgia.

Improved cognitive abilities are another property that is noted by manufacturers, users and even scientists. With regular use of the extract, memory is strengthened, concentration is increased and the learning process is optimized (the results are quite high).

Calming properties are often mentioned: supposedly the extract helps relieve stress, improve sleep, and strengthen the heart muscle. Although this is a rather controversial point. After all, the main effect of guarana is psychostimulating. This means that, on the contrary, it activates the body’s mental activity, relieves fatigue, drowsiness and lethargy, increases performance and muscle tone, accelerates responses, sharpens hearing and vision.

For weight loss

Guarana is most often offered for weight loss - as part of fat-burning and appetite-suppressing food additives. Theoretically, seed extract should promote weight loss because:

• has a tonic effect, promotes physical activity, which allows you to burn extra calories;
• improves digestion, increasing the absorption of beneficial nutrients and preventing the deposition of fats;
• has a fat-burning effect (the advantage of caffeine);
• improves metabolism;
• reduces appetite, saving you from hunger while dieting;
• prevents the appearance of cellulite;
• relieves swelling, removing excess fluid from the body (has a mild diuretic effect);
• relieves psychological fatigue, preventing compulsive overeating;
• normalizes liver function, accelerating the process of cleansing the body of toxins and other harmful substances.

So, theoretically, there should be benefits for weight loss from guarana. In practice, I use dietary supplements based on it to help someone fight extra pounds. At the same time, there are also negative reviews that they do not lead to any weight loss.

In sports

Guarana is included in sports nutrition as a natural source of caffeine, a psychostimulant, a tonic, and an energy drink. Such additives:

• provide a boost of energy and vigor, increase performance, allowing you to give your best in training;
• control the water-salt balance to prevent dehydration;
• accelerate metabolism;
• restore muscles after training, reducing soreness;
• tone;
• promote mental concentration;
• improve physical indicators of endurance, strength, reaction;
• relieves fatigue and overwork for several hours, which often cause failures in the training program.

Athletes note a surge of strength and increased performance after consuming sports supplements with guarana. But you shouldn’t place too much hope on it: it doesn’t contribute to muscle growth in any way. The only advantage of this type of nutrition is the additional dose of energy needed to get the most out of your workouts.

With the world - one by one. In some South American countries, they make guarana bread, which is considered a national dish. The seeds are hulled, soaked, and ground into powder. The dough is kneaded from it, from which loaves are formed and kept in hot water with sugar for several hours.
