Guayusa Extract - 5ml & 10ml

The guayusa is also known as Ilex guayusa. It is an indigenous plant of the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador. Its leaves contain stimulating properties thanks to its caffeine content, theobromine (stimulant present in cocoa) and L-theanine (glutamic acid present in green tea). Guayusa is widely used locally to improve the symptoms of fatigue and to combat stress.

The caffeine content is 3% on average and contains antioxidants with a greater ability to absorb free radicals than green tea traditionally traded.

R Rich in vitamins and minerals
It contains magnesium, calcium, zinc, potassium and vitamins D and C. It also contains chlorogenic acids, very beneficial for cardiovascular health and essential amino acids.

Stimulant
As well as caffeine, guayusa contains stimulants such as methylxanthine alkaloid, theophylline in green tea and theobromine, which are also found in dark chocolate. However, it has no affinity with Cacao

The Amazonian Tribes used the guayusa as a natural stimulator to activate the mind, hunt and collect everything needed to survive.
