What Guarana Seed is
Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a climbing plant from the Amazon basin whose seeds are traditionally used for energy and alertness. The seeds are commonly cited as containing more caffeine by weight than coffee beans, which is why guarana appears in energy drinks and stimulant supplements.
The SodaBurn site names guarana as the second natural caffeine source in the formula and does not publish an amount.

What the research looks like
The effect people are most likely to feel from guarana is the caffeine: more alertness and a small, short-term rise in energy use. Beyond caffeine, studies of guarana for weight are small and inconsistent.
Because caffeine tolerance builds with regular use, any appetite or energy effect tends to fade over weeks.
Safety and who should be careful
Too much caffeine can cause jitteriness, a faster heartbeat, stomach upset, anxiety and poor sleep. The FDA says up to about 400 mg a day is generally not associated with negative effects in most healthy adults, but sensitivity varies. Count guarana with your coffee, tea and any pre-workout, start with 1 dropper, and avoid taking it late in the day. People with heart rhythm problems, high blood pressure, anxiety or sleep problems, and anyone who is pregnant or nursing, should ask a clinician first.
