Guarana Powder - Guarana Fluid Extract

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.

Another option is to use a Capsule Machine that can be bought from the Indigo Herbs website. Filling capsules with your favourite herb has never been easier when you buy a Capsule machine. 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 the very best berries, grown in optimum conditions. 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.

Taking herbal remedies in a Tincture or Fluid extract preparation is simple and easy. The tincture can be measured out into the small ml measuring cup that comes with each bottle. (A medicine cup or spoon could also be used) and the tincture can be taken directly.

However some people do find the bitter tincture taste to be too strong, so it may be a good idea to dilute the drops in water or fruit juice. For children, the elderly, those with a sensitive constitution or those avoiding alcohol, the alcohol can be evaporated from the tincture. This can be done by putting the drops in boiling water and leaving for 10 minutes to evaporate. For full instructions go to our How to take Herbal Tincture page.

Guarana Seed Fluid Extract can be added to water or fruit juice.

Traditionally Taken: 1-4 ml per day. Can be taken throughout the day in small servings or as directed by a Herbal practitioner.

20 drops from the glass dropper equals approximately 1ml.

Manufacture Process

Indigo Herbs Guarana Tinture comes from the very best berries, grown in optimum conditions. Peak maturity occurs in December and the individual berries are either hand picked or bunches of fruit cut off depending on ripeness. After hand selection of the best berries all are put in water soak so the red skin can be removed. After a short drying period in the sun all the fruit is placed in an oven at 40°C.  After the husk is removed the seed undergoes a process of cold percolation in order to extract the active constituents into fluid extract form. The cold percolation method employs a gradient circulation of the solution which keeps the seed in perpetual contact with the blend. This technique is faster and more efficient than maceration and ensures there is less waste of precious plant materials. 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.
