Guayusa’s most important natural components! They make the difference

Why does Guayusa let you feel more awake and and relaxed as well?

Answerable is the combined working of some of the naturally occuring guayusa components. They occur in particularly high doses. We have created the following list of the most important ones.

• Caffeine: Stimulates the central nervous system, improves concentration and reduces sleepiness. Works positively on the brain e.g. by improving mood, alertness, reaction time and memory capability. In the brain it blocks the sleep-inducing neurotransmitter andenosine and consequently the cardiovascular stimulating neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline are increased.

• Theobromine: Produces a similar effect on the body as caffeine but is significantly milder, it is long-lasting and likewise mood lightening. It is related to caffeine and has a stimulating effect

• Theophylline: Known active substance against brochial asthema and other bronchial illnesses. It increases the performance of the heart and the blood circulation to the kidneys, and causes stimulation of the central nervous system, particularly in connection with the respiratory system.

• L-Theanine: Studies show that alpha waves are stimulated and that these cause a type of relaxed alertness. Theanine and caffeine working together can lead to an improvement in the ability to learn and memorise, and also to a greater resistance to stress.

• Antioxidants: e.g. catechin, which kills bacteria and can have a positive effect on viral infections and tooth decay. Antioxidants are known to protect pur body cells from damage and have a positive effect on blood insulin levels. Guayusa has double the amount of antioxidants of green tea and it is no surprise that a study found that it alleviates the symptoms of type 1 diabetes.

• Essential amino acids: Guayusa contains all important essential amino acids.

• Vitamins and minerals: Guayusa is full of vitamin C and D, and important minerals such as potassium, zinc, calcium, magnesium and chromium.

• pH-value: The pH-value is not actually a component of guayusa. However guayusa helps to maintain the natural pH-value of the body.
