Guarana

Guarana is the seed of Paullinia cupana, a climbing shrub of the Amazon basin, supplied by Nustras as a certified organic seed powder. The seeds naturally contain caffeine together with theobromine, theophylline and tannins.

Organic guarana seed powder is formulated into botanical supplements in capsule and tablet form, powdered drink mixes and ready-to-drink beverages, sports nutrition products, chewing gum and confectionery, and functional foods where a plant-derived caffeine source is wanted.

The material is a fine brown powder with a bitter, astringent taste. Particle size and moisture are standardised to specification; botanical identity is confirmed by HPTLC and caffeine content is determined by HPLC, with grades available against pharmacopoeial monographs. The organic status is covered by a current organic certificate. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies organic guarana in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Guarana is an accepted food and supplement ingredient in major markets, with caffeine labelling rules that vary by jurisdiction; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application.
