BulkSupplements.com Guarana Extract Powder - Natural Caffeine Supplement, from Guarana Seed, Guarana Powder - Gluten Free, 800mg per Serving, 250g (8.8 oz) (Pack of 1)

**Edit 2025-03-13**I find the powder doesn't dissolve very well in cold water, but if you make a "tea" with boiling water and then allow it to cool (make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge) it stays in liquid form nicely.As I mention in the title, this stuff is pretty potent. Be cautious. I saw another reviewer say they added a full teaspoon (!) - that's 4 times the serving size and a LOT of caffeine (800mg). Make sure you start with a serving size (1/4 tsp) and see how it affects you before going wild. 200 mg of caffeine is equivalent to about 2 cups of coffee, or 2.5 cans of Red Bull.I definitely got a nice kick from this. I didn't notice any flavor, but I mixed it into a drink that already had some strong flavors. I did notice that it took a little work to get it to dissolve. I'm going to experiment with adding this to various drinks (gatorade, chai tea, plain water) as an alternative to coffee and see how things go.

The taste is tough to manage; however, I add 1/5 to my morning brew of coffee with creamer and agave syrup. It blends in favorably. The kick I hit is great as I am alert and energetic after about 20 minutes which is great for my morning exercise routines.On my first use, I actually misread several things in my overall research of this product. I overdosed thinking I was getting 150 g of caffeine and it was more likely well over 500g of caffeine with the dose I added to my smoothie. Later that night, I had serious vomiting and difficulty sleeping. Using more than 1/4 should be taken with extreme caution. Start with low doses and increase as needed.All in all I am happy with the strength of this product and it gives me the boost I need for my workouts. I also love the alertness it provides throughout the day. I recommend it, in carefully administered doses of 1/2 tsp or less if you're starting out using this brand of guarana.

This gives me a heightened lift of focus, clarity, and energy. It definitely helps also lift the brain fog, which not many things are successful at doing that. I was hesitant to trying this because I've tried Guarana pills and it's always a hit or miss. The Guarana pills don't seem as strong and they make me crash for some reason. This Guarana powder doesn't make me crash. It gives me amazing energy, joyful feeling, and a clear minded focus whenever I take it.I started with the lowest dose on the package which is 1/4 teaspoon and that seems to do the trick. I don't find I've needed more. So if you're trying this for the first time, I would recommend that you start really low. Don't worry if it doesn't look like a lot on your teaspoon. This is one of those powders where a little goes a long way. It's always better to start small and work your way up with any supplement to reduce the chances of shocking side effects, then blaming the company for selling it because you had an isolated bad experience. Not everyone has the same experiences when taking something.If you're super hyper sensitive to caffeine, then be careful taking this. I noticed some slammed this powder with a bad review because it resulted with them in the hospital or some other narly side effect. They've said this package should have a warning. I would assume that if anyone is ordering any alternative herbal supplement powders like Guarana, that they are already aware of why they're ordering it and what the benefits and side effects are. The internet has an excellent search engine for you to do a bit of research before diving into something like this.This Guarana works for me and I only take a little bit, which goes a long way. I'm aware of the benefits and potential side effects of this and was before ordering. I've experienced zero side effects with this, but that's also because I started slow and I knew how to use this. If you've found you've taken too much, then drink some chamomile tea or take some Theanine powder or capsules, which softens and reduces the caffeinated energy edge by calming you down.

This brand is not to be trusted. All their supplements are the same dirt tasting product, even their monkfruit tasted like dirt with no sweetness and had the exact same taste and texture as this. They are basically selling dirt and labeling it as supplements. Find another brand.

the advertising is confusing. the product i ordered was advertises as guarana powder with standardized to 50% caffeine which also shows on the product label on the item description. what i received was a product where instead the label indicated Guarana powder standardized to 22% caffeine. accordingly the amounts to be taken are double and the yield of the product would be half as what is advertised. The product i a genuine product and works well however the labeling and advertising is confusing and maybe misleading. i should receive the product i ordered not something different. what if the label on my package indicates 22% caffeine but the product contains 50%? that could lead someone to take a lot more than they intended and could even be dangerous. so overall a good product but the company needs to get their act together. By the way i have been taking Guarana products for 25+ years and i have never come across a product standardized to 50% Caffeine even in Brazil, which leads me to conclude its misleading advertising. In that case the company will only hurt their own sales because people will not take enough of the product and think that it is not very good because they will take only half of what they are actually thinking they are ingesting.......
