Information
Paullinia Cupana, also known as Guarana, is a natural stimulant that is in trees that grow in tropical regions of South America. Although Guarana is considered generally safe, it is important to consult a doctor before consuming it during pregnancy. Guarana is rich in caffeine and other substances that can be dangerous for the born baby, especially if they are consumed in large quantities. It is therefore recommended not to consume it during pregnancy, as it could cause development problems or false layers. In addition, Guarana can interfere with the drugs you take during pregnancy and can even cause unwanted side effects such as headache, nausea, cardiac palpitations and sleep disorders. Therefore, it is best to avoid Guarana during pregnancy. In conclusion, it is not recommended to consume Paullinia cupana during pregnancy. If you are interested in Guarana or any other stimulant, it is best to consult your doctor before making a decision.
