Guarana

Something interesting that I have recently seen on the internet was when my 15 year oldson and his friends were researching ingredients that are in the energy drinks like “monster”. One of the ingredients (besides a lot of sugar) was Guarana which is a shrub from Venezuela. The seeds contain as much as 3 times the amount of caffeine as coffee beans. But the amount of caffeine does not have to be listed on the label like other drinks. This is just something I found interesting.

I have also done research on guarana. I actually bought guarana pills to take instead of drinking so much coffee because the effects last longer.
