Guarana was first used by the Quaramis, a tribe of South American Indians. It was also used by Brazilian miners as a preventive for diseases but quickly became a refreshing beverage.

Because Guarana is a stimulant, it quickens perceptions and wakefulness, slows the pulse, impairs the appetite, and can be used for long drives or long work hours.
