What Is Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract?
Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract is a full-strength liquid extract of Paullinia cupana seed, a Sapindaceae species native to the Amazon basin of South America, notably Brazil and Venezuela. It is manufactured without ethanol and carried in glycerin, giving supplement and beverage developers the seed's naturally occurring constituents in a water-compatible carrier. Guarana carries a long heritage as an energizing Amazonian botanical, a story brands can carry into ingestible concepts.
Market Demand
Coherent Market Insights values the global guarana market at USD 18.59 billion in 2026, with projected growth to USD 27.41 billion by 2033 at a 5.7% CAGR. Demand for alcohol-free, botanically driven energy and functional-beverage formats keeps guarana in the pipeline for shots, mixers and daily liquid supplements.
Formulation Applications
This alcohol-free extract is designed for energy shots, functional-beverage concentrates, liquid supplement bases, syrups and blended botanical concentrates. As a glycerin-carried preparation it disperses into the water phase and dilutes cleanly for lower-strength blends. Guarana is traditionally associated with energy support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim — giving brands a recognizable botanical narrative for ingestible launches.

Bio-Botanica has been a family-owned botanical manufacturer in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, and this alcohol-free extract is produced in an FDA-inspected cGMP facility on the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction platform. Its glycerin carrier is sourced from RSPO-certified palm oil, and every lot passes onsite identity, microbial and heavy-metal testing, with Kosher, Halal and Organic certification available on request.
Common Buyer Questions
What is Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract (part RD9180) is an alcohol-free extract made from the seed of Guarana (Paullinia cupana), a member of the Sapindaceae family, native to the Amazon basin of South America, notably Brazil and Venezuela. It is produced by Bio-Botanica through our proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process, preserving a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum profile of its naturally occurring constituents.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
This is an Alcohol-Free Extract, and the carrier is Glycerin sourced from RSPO-certified palm oil. The glycerin is what the finished Paullinia cupana seed extract is delivered in; the extraction itself is done on Bio-Botanica's Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction platform rather than with a glycerin solvent.
Does Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract contain alcohol?
No. Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract is carried in glycerin instead of ethanol, so brands can keep alcohol off the label. It is not a tincture or fluid extract, and residual solvent details are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA.
Is Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract standardized to a specific compound?
Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract is supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, reflecting the naturally occurring constituents of the Paullinia cupana seed rather than an isolated, quantified compound. A specific standardization can be developed and quoted to your specifications.
Is Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract is formulated for food, beverage and supplement products. It is a full-strength extract, distinct from Bio-Botanica's Cosmetic Glycerin Extracts, which share a glycerin carrier but are formulated at cosmetic use levels for topical products.
What applications and formats is Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract suited for?
It suits energy shots, functional-beverage concentrates, liquid supplement bases, syrups and blended botanical concentrates. The glycerin carrier is water-compatible, so the extract meters into aqueous batches and dilutes predictably across production volumes.
What industries and positioning does Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract fit?
It fits the Dietary Supplements and Food and Beverage categories as an ingredient. For brand positioning, Guarana is traditionally associated with Energy Support — framing intended for structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim.
Where does the Guarana originate?
Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is native to the Amazon basin of South America, notably Brazil and Venezuela. Sourcing and country-of-origin details for a given lot are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS that accompanies samples.
How does Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
As a glycerin-carried liquid, Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract is intended for water-compatible formulations where a botanical liquid can be blended into your matrix.

How is Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
Guarana Alcohol-Free Extract is sold in bulk to formulators and brands, not as a finished consumer product and is offered in pack sizes of 23 kg and 200 kg. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your chosen pack size and volume, and samples ship with full documentation so you can assess fit before committing.
