Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a climbing plant from the soapberry family, native to the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous people discovered its red fruit and dark seeds, calling it "warana," which later became Guarana. They traditionally pressed the seeds into sticks, pulverized them using a fish's rough tongue, and used the powder as a stimulant and food substitute. Unlike coffee, Guarana refreshes without causing nervousness. Its caffeine (Guaranin) is released slowly, providing 4-6 hours of stimulation without side effects, thanks to its tannins and fibers. Although Guarana contains 3.5% caffeine, only 1g of powder (40mg caffeine) is typically used per serving, compared to 80mg in a cup of coffee. Ideal for those sensitive to coffee, Guarana is popular among people under stress, night owls, and those needing long-lasting alertness. Widely used in Brazil, it's favored by athletes, drivers, and politicians.

Our Lucuma comes from Oxapampa, an area which lies at 2000m in the Peruvian Andes mountains. The Lucuma tree, which can reach heights of 20 metres, was already being cultivated before the 13th century and is known as the “Gold of the Incas“. Lucuma fruit itself is recognisable by its brown skin and intensive yellow fruit pulp with its two relatively large stones. It is about the size of an orange and tastes like mango. ORGANIC Lucuma powder is ideal in drinks, tablets and smoothies due to its light sweetness, neutralises strong and bitter tastes and is filling.

Lapacho (tabebuia impetiginosa), can live for 700 years, belongs to the begonia family and is widespread in Middle and South America. Lapacho tea has a long tradition of being a herbal remedy in the rainforests of Central and South America. The Incas called Lapacho the "tree of life" and drank the tea to alleviate their ailments. Today Lapacho is used in the hospitals of South America because of its immune boosting effects as a strengthening tea. Effects Doctors and scientists only rediscovered Lapacho bark 50 years ago and noticed remarkable effects. Lapacho bark contains exceptionally high levels of mineral and trace elements. As well as calcium, iron and potassium, there are also less common trace elements like strontium, barium, iodine and boron in the bark, which is often lacking in the human body. Lapacho tea can be consumed by children and adults alike for long periods of time without any concern and can thus boost personal well-being.

Chlorella algae, among the oldest life forms on Earth, transformed the planet's surface into a green environment. Unlike Spirulina, Chlorella is a true plant with cell walls and cellulose, considered the most concentrated plant-based food. Micro-algae like Chlorella, traditionally used in Asia, contain about 60% vegetable protein and are rich in chlorophyll, giving them their green color. Chlorella is packed with zinc, iron, amino acids, vitamin A, beta carotene, and vitamin B12. Its high chlorophyll content, a valuable sun-store, is believed by some to be particularly beneficial to humans. Chlorella's multi-layered cell walls are key to its detoxifying properties, binding and flushing out toxins. However, these walls also make nutrient absorption more challenging. For those with a strong digestive system seeking detox benefits, natural Chlorella with intact cell walls is ideal. If digestive issues arise, reduce the dose or switch to a form with pulverized cell walls.
