The kola nut is the fruit of the kola tree, a genus (Cola) of trees that are native to the tropical rainforests of Africa. The caffeine-containing
fruit of the tree is used as a flavoring ingredient in beverages, and is the
origin of the term "cola".
You may be surprised to learn that the kola nut is the origin of the
word “cola,” and the tree on which it grows is believed among some Nigerian
tribes to be the first tree on earth. This nut is how the first cola recipe
received its caffeine kick -- along with real coca leaves. No wonder
people thought it was “medicinal.” Today, your typical cola recipe uses an
artificial flavoring plus added caffeine, but you can still find real kola nuts
being used in higher end sodas, in products like energy bars, and as a natural
medicinal remedy.
The kola nut, also known as
cola acuminate, is a caffeine-rich nut that is native to tropical Africa. In
these regions, the nut is considered a symbol of hospitality and kindness.
Though nearly tasteless, kola nuts are often chewed before meals to help
promote digestion and to help counteract possible ill effects from tainted
drinking water.
Kola nut is a stimulant in its own right, containing 1.5% - 2% caffeine,
plus theobromine, which increases cerebral circulation. Theobromine is the
alkaloid compound that can be found in chocolate and is thought to contribute a
sense of alertness and well-being. This combination of caffeine and theobromine
may be a contributing factor for the mild sense of euphoria that’s often
reported after chewing the nuts.
In addition to being a
stimulant, kola nut can help increase oxygen levels in the blood and promote
better concentration and a “clearing” of the head. Kola nut also serves to
"drive" other herbs into the blood.
The kola nut may also help
prevent and fight infections. Research published in the 2004 edition of
“Phytotherapy Research” showed that kola nut was effective at reducing the
growth and development of members of the mycobacterium species, the bacteria
responsible for illnesses such as meningitis and tuberculosis.
One of the oldest medicinal
uses for the kola nut is to use it as a natural remedy for chest colds. And
modern research has shown that it is effective in this regard. The kola nut
helps by enlarging the alveolar ducts and sacs (small air bags in the lungs
where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with the blood), as well as by
improving the strength of the fibers in the lung tissue.
Kola nuts may even offer
a natural weight loss benefit. In a study published in the Nigerian
Journal of Physiological Sciences, it was found that steady intake of kola
nut by rats can actually reduce food intake, and therefore body weight, without
altering water intake. This is thought to be due to the caffeine in the nuts
reducing the rats' appetites. Other studies have found that intake of kola nut
can increase the body's metabolic rate by as much as 118%. Kola nut extracts
also contain nonsteroidal plant compounds that have the ability to induce death
of cancerous prostate cells and may modulate prostate growth and function.
Kola nuts are often
ground into a powder. Because the whole nut stores caffeine much better than
the powder form, it is recommended that the nut be ground right before use or
preserved in tincture form. Kola nut powder can be added to coffee to increase
the caffeine content, and can also be drunk in tea. The powder is also
sometimes taken in capsule form.
Kola Nut is an exportable product
and we have the competence and are prepared to export it to any nation in the
world.
