Guayusa and Reduced Reaction Time

Doses used in studies

mg/day: 1,200 (median 1,200, IQR 1,200–1,200) — 1 study

Safety in these studies

diastolic blood pressure increaseIncreased riskincreased by 4-5 mmHg
Both GLE600 and GLE1200 similarly increased systolic and diastolic BP by 4-5 mmHg (p ≤ 0.022).
from: Acute, dose-response effects of guayusa leaf extract on mood, cognitive and motor-cognitiv
diastolic blood pressure increasedIncreased riskincreased diastolic BP by 4-5 mmHg
Both GLE600 and GLE1200 similarly increased systolic and diastolic BP by 4-5 mmHg (p ≤ 0.022).
from: Acute, dose-response effects of guayusa leaf extract on mood, cognitive and motor-cognitiv
jitterinessIncreased risk
The effect of GLE on jitteriness was both dose- and sex-dependent. Jitteriness increased with increasing GLE dose in women only (p < 0.001).

qtc interval prolongationNo significant difference
Neither GLE600 nor GLE1200 acutely influenced QTc length (p = 0.31).
