A member asked:
Why might guarana be prohibited?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
News to me: This is generally recognized as being as safe as coffee. Politics drives what is banned and not banned in the usa; totally safe stuff like saccharin are illegal, while obviously dangerous plant products comfrey and graviola remain in the shelves. If a celebrity dies while taking a supplement (as happened with guarana) there's usually a foolish media circus.

How long do the effects of Guarana last? I took a guarana caffeine pill a week ago (never took caffeine pills in the past) and since then, my movements have been shaky/tremor. I have not seen research on how long tremor lasts from one use. Thank you?
