Have you ever heard of the kola nut? It is also known as cola nut, goro nut or kakkoruku and grows on the kola tree in tropical regions in West and Central Africa and partly in South America. They mainly come from the two genera Cola acuminata and Cola nitida. The seeds of the fruit of the kola tree are called kola nuts..
The kola nut has long been considered a natural stimulant in Africa because it contains caffeine and theobromine. The caffeine content in the kola nut is significantly higher than that of coffee. Theobromine is also a component of cocoa. Both substances are known to have a stimulating effect on the nervous system.
Incidentally, the kola nut was an important component of the popular soft drink for a long time. Today it is only used by smaller manufacturers. Nowadays, the large manufacturers use caffeine, which is a by-product when coffee is decaffeinated.

Due to the caffeine in kola nut, a stimulating effect can occur. However, it is not said to have the side effects that come with excessive coffee consumption, for example.
Kola nut is said to be able to stimulate the digestive system and have a pain-relieving effect. Headaches, fever, diarrhea and vomiting are said to be alleviated by the kola nut.
