Traditional & Modern Use:
The Amazonian tree known as Ilex guayusa is the superior cousin to Ilex paraguay (yerba mate) and is a true miracle plant as a stimulant, both mentally and physically! This makes an excellent weight loss aid, metabolism booster and fat burner. Guayusa can contain up to a whopping 7% of its dried weight in pure caffeine which makes it the highest caffeine containing plant on Earth. The caffeine in Guayusa is not the exact same chemical structure as the common caffeine that coffee and tea drinkers have come to know. The side effects can be much less unpleasant. The Ecuadorian indigenous people drink guayusa tea as a social morning ritual for its dream recall enhancing qualities. It also has been a common admixture in the powerful Ayahuasca brew famous in South and Central America. Ilex guayusa has also been documented to have hallucinogenic effects on its own in high enough doses.
