Active ingredients such as caffeine and guarana, as well as spicy spices such as, for example, pepper extract, can accelerate metabolism in the body, have an appetite-suppressing effect, and thereby stimulate fat burning in the body. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, promoting cognitive function, concentration, and memory. Additionally, caffeine increases heart rate and potentially blood pressure. Breathing is accelerated, and peripheral blood vessels dilate. This can lead to an acceleration of metabolism, i.e., an increase in energy consumption. Caffeine also promotes lipolysis, the release of fatty acids from stored fat, and glycogenolysis, the release of glucose from glycogen, which can lead to a higher proportion of fat burning in energy consumption.
Guarana is much more potent than coffee. The most significant component in guarana is caffeine, with guarana powder containing between 0.9 and 7.6 percent caffeine. Guarana provides energy, increases alertness, enhances performance, and stimulates kidney function. Caffeine in guarana stimulates the lungs and liver. It also improves heart function by dilating blood vessels and increases brain activity. One side effect of guarana is that it suppresses hunger for a while, making it potentially helpful for weight loss.
