What is Scitec Nutrition Super Guarana?
Scitec Nutrition Super Guarana is a guarana supplement in coated tablet form, with added calcium. Each tablet contains 450mg of guarana extract preparation, which provides about 100mg of caffeine, and 250mg of calcium. The 2-tablet serving therefore provides 900mg of guarana extract preparation, 200mg of caffeine and 500mg of calcium, which is 63% of the NRV. Scitec presents it as a standardised 900mg extract with calcium. One 100-tablet pack provides 50 servings.
Guarana is a natural, plant-based source of caffeine and other phytosubstances. Its seeds are about twice as concentrated in caffeine as coffee beans. Guarana also contains a wide mix of xanthine alkaloids other than caffeine, including theophylline and theobromine, and other substances such as polyphenols. The preparation in Super Guarana combines guarana (Paullinia cupana) seed extract with caffeine, so that each serving provides a defined amount.
What is it used for?
Super Guarana is used as a pre-workout and energy boost. Guarana has traditionally been used as a tonic, and in sports nutrition it is taken before training or before any demanding activity, as a plant-based alternative to a coffee or a caffeine pill.
Caffeine contributes to an increase in alertness and to improved concentration (EU-authorised claims, which apply from 75mg per serving). The calcium added to the tablet contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal muscle function, normal neurotransmission and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth (EU-authorised claims).

Best times to enjoy it
🏋️ About 30 minutes before training (primary recommendation)
This is Scitec’s own recommendation. Taking the tablets half an hour before the session lines up the caffeine peak with your workout.
🧠 Before a demanding activity
The label says before training or any activity, so you can also take the serving before a task that needs focus, as long as it is not late in the day.
🚫 Not late in the day
Caffeine can stay in the body for 5 to 6 hours. Avoid taking the serving in the late afternoon or evening so it does not affect your sleep.

Q1 — What is guarana?
Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a plant from the Amazon whose seeds are naturally rich in caffeine, about twice as rich as coffee beans. It also contains other xanthine alkaloids, such as theophylline and theobromine, and polyphenols. It has traditionally been used as a tonic.
Q2 — How much caffeine does a serving contain?
A serving of 2 tablets provides about 200mg of caffeine, which is roughly 2.5 standard espressos. EFSA considers that single doses of up to 200mg of caffeine do not raise safety concerns for healthy adults, and 400mg a day from all sources is the usual limit. Check your total if you also drink coffee or take other caffeinated products.
Q3 — Why is there calcium in a guarana tablet?
Each serving provides 500mg of calcium, which is 63% of the NRV. Calcium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal muscle function, normal neurotransmission and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth (EU-authorised claims).
Q4 — Who should avoid Super Guarana?
The label states that it contains caffeine and that it is not recommended for children and pregnant women. People who are sensitive to caffeine, or who have a medical condition or take medication, should ask a physician first. Avoid taking it in the late afternoon or evening.
Q5 — How does it compare with the other caffeine products in the range?
Super Guarana is the highest in caffeine, with about 200mg per serving. Scitec Mental Focus has 75mg per capsule and also contains acetyl-L-carnitine and tyrosine, and Scitec Green Coffee provides 50mg per daily dose with chlorogenic acid. The choice depends on how much caffeine you want and in what form.
