Ingredients: A herbal blend of guaraná, yerba maté, suma, maca, and jatobá. To prepare this natural remedy yourself: use 3 parts guaraná and one part each of the remaining plants in the list. To make a small amount... "1 part" could be one tablespoon (you'd have 7 tablespoons of the blended herbal formula). For larger amounts, use "1 part" as one ounce or one cup or one pound. Combine all the herbs together well. The herbal mixture can then be stuffed into capsules or brewed into tea, stirred into juice or other liquid, or taken however you'd like.
Suggested Use: Take 1-2 grams (by weight) as needed or take 1 teaspoon (by volume) as needed
