Why Does Switzerland Prohibit The Sale Of Products Containing Guarana?
Posted by: Alan in Probiotics, tags: Containing, Does, Guarana, Products, Prohibit, Sale, Switzerland
And then Probiotics/Acidophilus are prohibited in Canada, Melatonin – in Austria, Belgium and Portugal… Does that mean these supplements are not safe?

I wasn’t aware that it is illegal in Switzerland, but it could be because it contains huge amounts of caffeine. About 5 times as much as coffee beans. More importantly some people experience seizures after consuming beverages containing Guarana.

It’s not forbidden in Switzerland, you can buy it in many supermarkets.
Guarana (Portuguese guaraná) is a climbing plant in the Sapindaceae family, native to the Amazon basin and especially common in Brazil. Guarana features large leaves and clusters of flowers, and is best known for its fruit, which is about the size of a coffee berry. Each fruit harbors one seed which contains approximately five times as much caffeine as coffee beans. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarana)
