Coffee Vs. Guayusa: ¿Is there a real difference?
The guayusa leaves have an amazing energy potential for humans, because guayusa is the plant with the most caffeine content in the world; yes, more than coffee and green tea.
However, this plant has much more to offer besides caffeine and that's what makes it so special. When you drink guayusa you obtain an energy balance in your body through other two components: L – Theanine and Theobromine. L – Theanine is an amino acid hard to find in other foods. It works as a natural relaxant for the nervous system, and helps to release tensions, stress and it's often used to treat anxiety cases. On the other hand, theobromine is an an alkaloid that stimulates pleasure sensations on the nervous system, helps to cheer up and produces a feeling of satisfaction and happiness. As if this wasn't enough, guayusa leaves are filled with antioxidants.
The combination of these components in guayusa allows to seize energy in a more focused, dynamic and efficient way.
