May Have Anti-Cancer Properties
Top 8 in Top 9 Health Benefits of Guarana
Cells develop out of control during the illness known as cancer. Guarana may shield against DNA damage, slow the development of cancer cells, and even cause cancer cell death, according to research conducted on animals and in test tubes. According to mouse research, guarana-fed mice had 58 percent fewer cancer cells and roughly a five-fold increase in cancer cell mortality than guarana-unfed mice.
Another test-tube investigation discovered that guarana both slowed and accelerated the death of colon cancer cells. Guarana contains xanthines, which are substances related to caffeine and theobromine and are thought to have potential anti-cancer qualities.
