Answer 2

Guarana is an herb that contains caffeine. It has been used as a stimulant and a weight loss supplement. It has been used as a cooling tonic. 1 teaspoon of guarana powder contains about 160mg of caffeine.

If you take it at all take small doses starting at 1/3 teaspoon and never to exceed 1 teaspoon in a dose. Do not take if you are pregnant, nursing, have high blood pressure or have any history of cardiac problems. Do not use other things caffeine like coffee tea chocolate or sodas while using guarana and do not use in combination with ephedra.

Over dose or over use can cause heart attack stroke or other life threatening effects.
