Adaptogens are natural compounds that act as regulators of the body under stress, providing a feeling of well-being.

These non-toxic substances increase the body’s resistance so that it can face aggressive agents. Adaptogens have an antidepressant effect, stimulate the central nervous system, improve concentration, and work as natural energy sources.

The beverage industries, for example, can make use of adaptogens, especially those that seek stimulating and preservative-free components.

The use of adaptogens in the formulation of beverages such as soft drinks and energy drinks adds value to brands and products. This is because they meet the high demand of the public for healthier options that guarantee health benefits.

 

Features of Adaptogens and Their Functionalities

Adaptogens are excellent for the body because they safely offer various benefits. They are resources from nature and consist of chemicals efficient in maintaining vital functions.

These substances can be found in the form of herbs, fungi, and plants and work as a potent protection to combat stressors and disrupters of the body capable of impairing the balance of its fundamental actions.

Guarana is an example of an adaptogen that concentrates a large amount of caffeine, an important energy source. Its seeds are composed of chemical components such as methylxanthines and tannins that act as stimulants.

In addition, we can find substances such as theobromine, pectin, and catechin in guarana, which are excellent for the relaxation of the bronchi, for good intestine function, and for the control of heart problems and diabetes.

To meet the needs of the beverage industries, Frootiva® Co nationally distributes the guarana liquid extract, a 100% natural input used in the manufacture of soft drinks, instant beverages, energy drinks, and mixed drinks.
