Guarana has been used for hundreds of years in amongst native South Americans for increasing energy, and combatting fatigue.
Key points:
Guarana contains caffeine, theophylline and theobromine. These stimulants are found in a complex named Guaranine that provides gentle stimulation over a period of several hours. It is noted for for not causing the ‘peaks’ and ‘troughs’ in energy levels associated with large caffeine use (i.e. from coffee/tea etc).
With this in mind, GoGo Guaraná Buzz Gum has been developed as a way to deliver the benefits of guarana to anyone who needs more energy when on the move. GoGo Guaraná Buzz Gum is particularly suitable for drivers – as studies have shown that both peppermint oil (which is included in GoGo Guaraná Buzz Gum) and the act of chewing itself can also help keep drivers feel more alert on the roads.
