Drinking Nightwatch makes you feel good and balanced.

The xanthines in guayusa are bound in a complex way and release their energy very slowly over time. This natural blend of molecules prevents the quick “rush” accompanied by the “restlessness” and followed by the “crash” often accredited to coffee and artificially caffeinated energy drinks. The natural xanthine blend in Guayusa gives a focussed, positive flow throughout the day.

L-Theanine, proven to ease down excited nerves, it helps prevent stress and anxiety. Together with naturally occurring caffeine in guayusa, it helps to improve concentration and it increases your focus on the job at hand.

Guanidine, while tempering blood sugar levels from rising, makes sure there’s no energy crash after the kick. Combined with the unique blend of xanthines (caffeine-like compounds) found only in guayusa, Nightwatch gives you long-lasting energy without the crash or jitters. Another beneficial effect of keeping blood sugar levels low is the prevention of weight gain.

Packed with anti-oxidants.

Guayusa is one of the richest sources of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants fight free radicals that would otherwise speed up cell degeneration. They help keep your skin healthy, support your immune system, prevent chronic disease, increase cardiovascular health, improve mood and boost memory. These are just a few of the wide range of beneficial effects anti-oxidants have on your health.

We only sweeten with fruit juices; no additional artificial sugars.

Let’s be honest, sugars found in fruits contain as many calories as refined sugar. However, fruit juices come with a whole bunch of constituents such as vitamins and minerals absent in refined sugar. We keep calories in Nightwatch as low as possible.

Flavoured with organic essential oils from flowers.

The flowers and herbs used to flavour Nightwatch are proven to have positive effects on mood and help prevent stress.

Brewed with Alpine mineral water.

The most important thing to do for your health is to drink the best water. Regular tap water can contain contaminants like pesticides, hormones and other toxins not removed 100% by just filtering. That’s why we choose to brew Nightwatch in the Alps where some of the worlds cleanest water can be found. The source of the water we use is said to be over a million years old.

Oleanolic and ursolic acid.

This helps to reduce weight and get more power in the body. Also it help against infections and pain associated with inflammation.

Our team regularly visit the Quichua, allowing us to learn from each other. In addition to setting up projects for the sustainable cultivation of guayusa.

The Quichua have extensive knowledge of the jungle and the time has come for them to make a profit from their herbs. Young Quichua members adopt valuable knowledge that would otherwise be lost. By creating financial empowerment tools, we try to enable the local population to preserve their culture and the Amazon in their own way.

Due to the long and continuous use of Guayusa by Homo Sapiens, a special symbiosis evolved between the two species. Since so highly praised, humans started spreading cuttings from the tree for cultivation. This enlarged its habitat and did so much more efficiently than the plant was able to by means of natural propagation. After centuries of this practice, guayusa decided to simply give up on the ability to make flowers and seeds, fully relying on its partnership with humanity to propagate.

Researching the plant, we found it to contain high levels of Xanthine alkaloids. This is the family of molecules to which caffeine (coffee, tea), theobromine (cacao, tea) and theophylline (cacao, tea) belong. The xanthines in guayusa are bound in a complex way releasing their energy very slowly over time. This natural blend of molecules prevents the quick “rush” followed by the “crash” often accredited to coffee and artificially caffeinated energy drinks. The natural xanthine blend in guayusa gives a focus & power throughout the day.

Besides it’s xanthine effect, it also has a high ORAC value (anti-oxidants), almost twice as much values than found in regular green tea.

Furthermore: all plants containing these stimulating molecules have traditionally been used for thousands of years and became very popular in western societies upon their discovery. In fact, 90% of people living in modernized countries (industrialized nations?) use a xanthine containing plant on a daily basis. Some examples are coffee, tea, cocoa, guarana, kola nut and maté.

Guayusa is the latest addition to the list, but a very special one indeed.
