Kola Nut health benefit
Kola Nut is the seed kernel of a large African tree grown
commercially around the world. It's chief constituents are caffeine,
theobromine, tannins

Kola Nut Research Update
Herbal ephedra / caffeine for weight loss: a 6-month randomized
safety and efficacy trial.
Boozer CN. t Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital and Columbia University, New York
Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord. 2002 May;26(5):593-604.
To examine long-term safety and efficacy for weight loss of an herbal
Ma Huang and Kola nut supplement (90/192 mg/day ephedrine alkaloids/caffeine).
Six-month randomized, double-blind placebo controlled trial. A
total of 167 subjects (body mass index (BMI) 31.8+/-4.1 kg/m(2)) randomized to
placebo (n=84) or herbal treatment (n=83) at two outpatient weight control
research units. RESULTS: By last observation carried forward
analysis, herbal vs placebo treatment decreased body weight, body fat and LDL-cholesterol, and increased HDL-cholesterol. Herbal treatment produced small
changes in blood pressure variables, and increased heart rate, but cardiac arrhythmias were not
increased. By self-report, dry mouth, heartburn, and
insomnia were increased and diarrhea decreased. Irritability,
nausea, chest pain and palpitations did not differ, nor did numbers of subjects
who withdrew. CONCLUSIONS: In this 6-month placebo-controlled trial, herbal ephedra / caffeine
kola nut (90/192 mg/day) promoted body weight and body fat reduction and
improved blood lipids without significant adverse events.

Kola Nut questions
Q. I enjoy your website. I have a question about cortisol and Kola Nut. I have
read and heard that a cup of coffee can raise your cortisol level (plus other
factors as well, ex.: stress ect.) Is it the caffeine in the coffee that raises
our cortisol level and if so, does the caffeine in Kola Nut and Guarana do the
same. I haven't been able to find anything about this at all. I would appreciate
any knowledge you have on this. My husband(53yrs) and I (52yrs)stopped drinking
coffee and the odd time use Kola Nut. He likes to use it when he is competing in
his swimming. We don't use alot, but I was wondering if it affects our cortisol
level. ?
A. It is difficult to say whether kola nut raises
cortisol levels since there are hardly any human studies evaluating the role of
kola nut tea or supplements on hormone levels.
Q. What is your opinion of taking a kola nut extract?
A. I don't have any experience with kola nut extract.
