Health Benefits
Many teas are known to contain anti-oxidants which fend off cancer causing “free radicals” in our bodies.
In studies of Guayusa, this tea has been found to contain 50% more anti-oxidants than green tea with the second highest ORAC score of any other food product tested. Tests have also shown Guayusa to contain 90 mg of caffeine/ 8oz cup making it the second most caffeinated plant on earth next to coffee but with many more health benefits. One of the most important findings of this study was the synergistic effects of Guayusa’s unique blend of Theobromine (also found in high quantities in dark chocolate), Theophyline, vitamins C and D, essential minerals Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, Chormium, caffeine and all 15 essential amino acids (most importantly Leucine, which is not synthesized in our bodies and is needed to repair and build muscle tissue).
This blend produces a smooth, sustained energy without the crash and jitters often associated with other caffeinated drinks. Guayusa has been found to balance the bodies pH and blood sugar levels, detoxify the blood, improve the functioning of the kidneys and urinary tract, improves digestion and elimination while strengthening the lungs, removing cholesterol and lowering blood pressure.
Many people find drinking Guayusa both relaxing and stimulating at the same time.
