Guarana Weight Loss

Guarana, also known as Brazilian cocoa, can be found in many energy drinks. It has caffeine in it and is used in weight loss products. It's a shrub that can be found growing in Venezuela and the Amazon rain forest of Brazil. Red fruit grows on this shrub. Guarana has more caffeine than coffee beans. It can be helpful in weight loss for the following reasons:

• Increased energy
• Increased endurance
• Suppressed appetite
• Burns fat

The reason guarana helps with weight loss is because of the high amount of caffeine. It is true that you could just drink tea or coffee and get the same effects. You would have to take more coffee for it to equal guarana. You don't have to drink guarana for the effects though. You can also take a guarana supplement.

If you are already taking a stimulant, I would advise against it since guarana contains enough caffeine. Too much stimulation can be a bad thing.

A study done combining guarana, yerba mate, and damiana showed significant weight loss in the subjects who were over weight. They were also able to maintain the weight loss using this product.

At swansonvitamins.com, guarana is modestly priced (at $1.79 a bottle) and most of the reviews are positive. They mostly speak of the energy it provides. I urge you not to pay high prices for guarana weight loss pills. The active weight loss ingredient for guarana is caffeine which can be obtained rather cheaply. You should not pay a high price for something you can get elsewhere.

If you want weight loss from caffeine, you could also check out green tea products. I'm not talking about the expensive green tea hype products, but the green tea extracts that are much cheaper and fairly effective.
