Caffeine has many health benefits that we incorporate in our products. Not only does caffeine increase energy, but it can also increase both short and long term cognitive performance. Caffeine can help with many different areas of life, including exercise, focus, and long term health. A study at Johns Hopkins showed that taking a 200mg caffeine pill boosted memory consolidation. ^[1] It has also been concluded that caffeine improves reaction time and logical reasoning. In terms of exercise, caffeine has many benefits. It helps replace muscle glycogen concentrations after exercise when combined with carbs. This is important because glycogen stores energy in muscles for their next use. Caffeine has also been shown to reduce muscle pain by up to 48% post-workout. ^[2] It can also increase stamina levels during exercise as well as chronic inflammation. There are also numerous health benefits unrelated to exercise. Caffeine has the incredible ability to help prevent Parkinson’s ^[3] and ward off Alzheimer’s disease. ^[4] Caffeine has also been shown to reduce fatty liver in non-alcoholic related cases. ^[5] Studies have also shown that caffeine helps reduce the risk of kidney stones. Finally, a daily intake of 200-400 mg of caffeine a day can increase metabolic rates and stimulate brown fat cells causing them to burn more calories.

This can be troublesome if your adrenaline levels are too high, as it can create a feeling of nervousness.
