Natural Energy That Is Better Than Coffee

      Paullinia Cupana is a botanical herb that grows in the South American rainforest that delivers the benefits of caffeine without the jittery side effects.  The active element is guaranine, which is an element of the caffeine group, but is better than coffee. However, it contains healthy fatty acids.

The effects of guaranine slowly increase over a period of several hours.  This natural, slow-release process avoids the sudden pick-up and crash that commonly results with caffeine.  With caffeine, you are immediately stimulated and the effect gradually decreases throughout the day.  In the afteroon, you start to feel tired and sluggish and crave more caffeine to get you through the day.

Don't get me wrong.  There is nothing wrong with caffeine.  It's probably the most widely used and researched drug in the entire world.  The problem with the caffeine in coffee is that the short burst of energy you get excites your body.  Guaranine, which is part of the caffeine family, stimulates you slow and steady which keeps you alert over a longer period.  It has the feeling of a revitalizing cooling action.

You know that buzz you get with coffee?  That's actually acetycholine.  Acetycholine is another ingredient found in caffeine which is a neurotransmitter that tells makes you mentally aware. With the right amount of acetylcholine, you're ready to take on the day with a sharp mind and a clear head.  This is what gets you out the door in the morning.  Unfortunately, as your stockpile of acetylcholine dwindles throughout the day you start to feel run down and exhausted.

Here's the cool part.  You won't need to dash out for that five dollar iced coffee beverage in the afternoon anymore. Remember, guaranine releases slowly.  So, when you combine guaranine with choline, you trigger the release of acetycholine to rebuild your reserves to stay mentally alert aware and alert all day long.  This way, your body is able to make acetycholine when it needs it.  It is really is better than coffee. 

With a choline punch you will be able to take on the day awake, alert and prepared without the unwanted side effects you get with coffee, tea and cola drinks.
