Using Herbal and Superfood powders on a daily basis is simple, easy and can be really delicious. The simplest way is to rehydrate the powder in a little filtered water to make a shot, this can easily be prepared once, twice or three times per day if you are taking the herbs therapeutically. However sometimes the herbs can be bitter so the botanical powders can be added to a superfood smoothie instead of just water. The smoothie can be made with a base of nut milk, seed milk or non-dairy milk such as rice milk. Alternatively the main body of the smoothie can be created with fruit or vegetable juices. 

Additional superfood and herb powders can be added to fortify the smoothie with extra beneficial properties. The powders are largely dissolvable and can be scooped in and then blended, shaken or stirred until fully mixed with the liquid. Any true Superfood smoothie disciple would advise that the list of possibilities is endless with the goal to feel great and potentially replace a meal with this glass of super goodness.

You can then be sure that the capsules you are taking are 100% pure ingredients without fillers added by some companies.

Manufacture Process

Indigo Herbs Guarana Powder comes from plantations in Bahia situated in the Northeastern part of the country. Peak maturity occurs in December and the individual berries are either handpicked or bunches of fruit cut off depending on ripeness. After hand selection, the best berries are put in water soak so the red skin can be removed. After a short drying period in the sun, the fruit is placed in an oven at 40°C. The oven drying not only gives the Guarana its unique cocoa like taste but also assists the removal of the white husk that surrounds the seed. After the husk is removed the seed is then milled into a fine powder ready for shipping. This premium quality product is 100% pure botanical ingredients, completely free of synthetic ingredients with absolutely nothing added. It is manufactured to GMP standards and Quality Assured by Indigo Herbs.

Guarana is not recommended during pregnancy or breast feeding. It is contraindicative for people with high blood pressure, cardiac disorders, diabetes, ulcers, epilepsy and other chronic illnesses. Over use of Guarana powder can cause jitteriness, irritability and insomnia.
