guarana in powder gives you a hell of a boost. Here in Brazil guarana sodas are #1 preference, even ahead of Colas but they dont have any stimulant effect, only it tastes so damn good (which is excatly the opposite of the powder, this stuff tastes like soil).

  Guarana is just caffeine. Unless you also get this reaction from a cup of coffee, this is a classic case of placebo effect.

Damn!
The soda I was talking about was called Josta. I used to take those things before finals---have it with a big bag of Skittles...the  walls would be shaking and vibrating, like some type of effed up Donnie Darko mirror scene.

They are the shit. I am virtually immune to their sourness...

SMM, guarana has about 2x the amount of caffeine in it than coffee does...

And yes, high octane (as I call it) coffee does he same for me. I used to drink 4 cups at a time at wrk...

I always eat a big bag of sour patch kids when I go to the movie theatre. I love to suck that sugar off of them. Next day my taste buds swell up and my tounge hurts.

Not anymore, since he mentioned he's taking something now.

That's a damn good build for a non-competitor in his 40s (or any age) is my point. Very impressive.

One time my mom asked me what I was eating, I told her and offered her some...she took one, made a "sourface", said "Ew", and spit it out really quick...I laughed and told her she wasted a good sour patch kid...She did same with Sour Skittles as well. I used to enjoy lemons as well. I love anything sour.

  You said you took one pill. Guarana contains 4% of caffeine compared to about 1% in coffee. But the amount of caffeine in one pill of guarana extract would yield roughly 50 mg of caffeine, which is less than what a cup of brewed coffee yields(80-130 mg). So what is the catch? If it were 50 mg of amphetamine, I could understand you feeling the difference between this and a cup of coffee, but you should feel less stimulation from a single pill of guarana than from a cup of coffee.

I think groink is a bullshitter of the highest degree, but that is a thick physique, weak chest like myself and looks like a bit of gyno. Powerful nonetheless.

Shit Im going to agree with Sucky  ;D - but he is correct Guarana is weak as watered down piss.. The amount of caffiene in one 50mg pill wouldnt do much if anything - pure caffiene is better - 600mg caffiene stacked with one large flat white coffee - then you will get a lift  :P - well thats what I just took earlier pre cardio.. but yes guarana is nothing unless of course you are extremly sensitive to stimulents.

  And how does that help your argument ??? It only means that the one pill of guarana you took has even less caffeine than I assumed it had, meaning that the effect you got from it was probably a placebo unless you also get this effect from very small amounts of coffee.

I don't drink coffee that often, as I get caffeine headaches, yrs back, I found a way to cure this by drinking yerba mate, when I started getting caffeine headaches, as it was less of jolt than coffee. But depending on the strength of the brewed coffee, I'd say all things being equal, meaning the same amount of each being brewed, wouldn't the drink made from guarana have more caffeine, as it contains more from the beginning?


I picked up the supp yesterday, on the back it says: Guarana seed extract-----250mg
                                                                       (Paullinia cupana)(36% Caffeine=90mg)
