GNC Herbal Plus Guarana 250mg | Vegetarian Standardized Extract | 100 Capsules

I have stomach problems so can no longer drink coffee or tea. Was using caffeine capsules, opened and powder dissolved under the tongue. Convenient, inexpensive, and though not the full experience of coffee chemicals, necessary for alertness and energy. Of course there's also the 'down.' Do find that the guarana (using contents of 2 caps, about 180mg of caffeine which I've read is like a 12oz coffee) has a gentler energy decline. Also comes on a little softer, so sometimes when I need a quick somewhat stronger spike, still do a caffeine capsule, but find the guarana smoother most of the time.After first writing this review I tried a separate guarana powder so I could add caffeine capsules in different amounts and seemed less expensive. It worked - but - I had to use more of the guarana powder than in the pills to get the same effect and the convenience of these pills (including easy to carry a few for later in the day) brought me back to this product.

This product is amazing both for myself and my teenager son. We both have ADHD, and the medication out there for ADHD inattentive type has not been helpful to us. This guaraná pill gives us enough energy and focus, for a whole school day, and we feel the effect of it slowing us down right when we get home. It has been a very healthy alternative for us, thank you so much!

Stand by this product and recommend in place of daily coffee. I started this because my teeth would get stained yellow by coffee, and my gums were so sensitive I couldn't use whitening or bleaching products. So, swapped this in for coffee and never looked back! It's so great when you're traveling and it save time every morning (no dishes). I still love the taste of coffee and have my occasional cup, but for a morning caffeine fix, this is the way to go. My friends say I'm an addict, but it's actually slightly less caffeine than your average cup of coffee and doesn't seem to upset my stomach as much either.

Better than The smell is not so great and size of the capsules are a little large but they really do work and they are a much better alternative to buying expensive energy drinks every day!

My experience with GNC products has been very good. I like that they don't have a bunch of artificial fillers, so they are easy on the tummy. Their guarana is a nice natural energy boost.

It is the solution for me to giving up soda pop as a source of caffeine. I do not drink coffee so I needed something. It is very strong for me so I make a 1/8” hole in the end of the capsule and put it in a small cup with water to swallow it. The result of taking it in the morning is long, smooth energy. By giving up aspartame laced drinks, I also lost 5# without even trying. There is something wrong with what that does to people. I hunted for an answer and Guarana is it.

Gives energy like coffee, but without the heartburn and needing to pee a lot

This supplement started out great! But I slowly started getting headaches and then eventually migraines. I am not sensitive to caffeine but there’s something in this that caused the migraines. Just becareful!
