Research has shown that guarana can improve the ability to learn and remember. Those who received 37.5 mg or 75 mg of guarana achieved the highest test scores. Since low doses of guarana provide small doses of caffeine, it is assumed that other compounds in guarana, in addition to caffeine, may be partially responsible.
