The Elixir Of Long Life – Guarana Paullinia Cupana From Brazil

In our previous post we have brought forth the goodness of Yerba Mate from Argentina. In this article, we would like to reveal the goodness of Guarana from Brazil which functions as a compliment to Yerba Mate. With these 2 health products, a normal healthy human being should be able to safeguard his/her health to the optimum. It is our intention to recommend this health maintenance approach to the citizens of Malaysia as an alternative to what they are currently used to. A healthy population leads to a healthy nation to come.

As a Muslim, we believe that our life span has been destined. We hope that with our dedicated pro-active efforts in safeguarding our health may coincide with our destiny always.


The physical appearance of the plant is as depicted above. Its scientific name is Guarana Paullinia Cupana. It originates from the world’s largest forest – the Amazon forest of Brazil. It is a natural stimulant to strengthen the health of the body. However, it is non-addictive in anyway. The goodness of this plant is well known for centuries to the Maues Indians of the Amazon as a source of vigor, longevity and fertility. The Guarana is normally consumed in the form of carbonated soft drinks or in capsulated powder form. The medicinal extracts are taken from the Guarana seeds only.
