What it is

Organic Guayusa Extract is derived from the leaves of the guayusa tree (Ilex guayusa), a plant native to the Amazon rainforest. The leaves are typically dried and then extracted using water or other solvents to create a concentrated liquid or powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic guayusa extract primarily for its natural caffeine content, which provides an energy boost. It is commonly found in beverages such as energy drinks, sodas, iced teas, and sports drinks, where it contributes to the product's stimulating properties.

Health notes

Organic guayusa extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring or in other specified applications. It contains caffeine, which can have stimulant effects, and other compounds like antioxidants. JECFA has evaluated caffeine, and EFSA has also evaluated caffeine and its sources. Evidence on the long-term health effects of consuming guayusa extract is still developing.

Allergen info

Guayusa extract is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
