The main ingredient of Nightwatch, the 100% plant energy drink, is Guayusa, also known as 'the super plant'. You may already know that Guayusa contains caffeine, theobromine, theophylline and L-theanine, but the meaning and effect of these substances may still remain somewhat vague. We are ready to shed light on the active substances of this super plant, each with its own unique powers that put your body and mind in top condition.


Caffeine: The Powerful Stimulant


Caffeine, the well-known friend that gets you through the day! As a stimulant, caffeine affects the central nervous system. It increases alertness, reduces drowsiness and makes you feel wide awake. This happens because caffeine blocks adenosine in the brain, which normally signals drowsiness. So instead of being groggy, you'll feel fresh and ready to go! Useful for tackling everyday tasks.


Theobromine: The Centipede


Theobromine, a companion of caffeine, found not only in chocolate but also in Guayusa, offers several health benefits. It dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and improves circulation, which can be beneficial for people with high blood pressure and for overall heart health. In addition, it improves oxygen absorption in the body, which can improve performance during physical activities and strengthen lung function. It also has a positive effect on brain activity, resulting in increased alertness and improved mood. In addition, it can help regulate cholesterol levels by increasing HDL cholesterol and lowering LDL cholesterol, which is crucial for a healthy heart.


Theophylline: The Breathtaking Stimulant


At number 3, theophylline not only shares its family traits with caffeine, but also offers its own unique benefits. It dilates the airways by relaxing the muscles and reducing the signals that lead to airway muscle contraction, which improves breathing. Additionally, it blocks the release of histamine, which can provide relief from chronic conditions such as asthma or bronchitis. Theophylline also relaxes the smooth muscles in the airways, making breathing easier, while at the same time it can stimulate the speed and force of the heartbeat.


L-theanine: The Calm Focus


Last but not least, L-theanine, is particularly interesting. It is an amino acid mainly found in guayusa. Similar to caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, it can cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the brain. L-theanine promotes the production of alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with a state of relaxed alertness. This may explain why guayusa provides long-lasting and pleasant energy. In addition, L-theanine affects neurotransmitters such as GABA and dopamine. Interestingly, some studies indicate that L-theanine, especially when combined with caffeine, can improve focus and cognitive functions.
