Product Information

The advice for pregnant women is to avoid caffeinated drinks in the first trimester, after which women should not consume more than 200 mg - equivalent to about two cups of coffee - a day," says Bouzhezra. "Caffeine has been reported as a precipitant for migraine, but each person is different. Caffeinecan also cause heart palpitations and stress, so if you do have stress/anxiety, it might be reasonable to limit your intake of caffeinated drinks." While caffeine does not directly bind to any dopamine receptors, it influences the binding activity of dopamine at its receptors in the striatum by binding to adenosine receptors that have formed GPCR heteromers with dopamine receptors, specifically the A 1– D 1 receptor heterodimer (this is a receptor complex with 1 adenosine A 1 receptor and 1 dopamine D 1 receptor) and the A 2A– D 2 receptor heterotetramer (this is a receptor complex with 2 adenosine A 2A receptors and 2 dopamine D 2 receptors). [169] [170] [171] [172] The A 2A–D 2 receptor heterotetramer has been identified as a primary pharmacological target of caffeine, primarily because it mediates some of its psychostimulant effects and its pharmacodynamic interactions with dopaminergic psychostimulants. [170] [171] [172]

Theophylline (4%): Relaxes smooth muscles of the bronchi, and is used to treat asthma. The therapeutic dose of theophylline, however, is many times greater than the levels attained from caffeine metabolism. [46]

This GO Energy + Electrolyte Gel is designed to provide 22g of carbohydrate for fast energy as well as key electrolytes for hydration. Electrolytes are lost through sweating and need to be replaced to help prevent a drop in performance from the negative effects of dehydration. Electrolytes also help absorb and retain fluid in the body so that it’s used more effectively. This gel should be especially used during exercise undertaken in higher temperatures. USAGE:

Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline purine, a methylxanthine alkaloid, and is chemically related to the adenine and guanine bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). It is found in the seeds, fruits, nuts, or leaves of a number of plants native to Africa, East Asia and South America, [18] and helps to protect them against herbivores and from competition by preventing the germination of nearby seeds, [19] as well as encouraging consumption by select animals such as honey bees. [20] The best-known source of caffeine is the coffee bean, the seed of the Coffea plant. People may drink beverages containing caffeine to relieve or prevent drowsiness and to improve cognitive performance. To make these drinks, caffeine is extracted by steeping the plant product in water, a process called infusion. Caffeine-containing drinks, such as coffee, tea, and cola, are consumed globally in high volumes. In 2020, almost 10 million tonnes of coffee beans were consumed globally. [21] Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug. [22] [23] Unlike most other psychoactive substances, caffeine remains largely unregulated and legal in nearly all parts of the world. Caffeine is also an outlier as its use is seen as socially acceptable in most cultures and even encouraged in others.Humanity’s acquaintance with caffeine is surprisingly recent. But it is hardly an exaggeration to say that this molecule remade the world. The changes wrought by coffee and tea occurred at a fundamental level – the level of the human mind. Coffee and tea ushered in a shift in the mental weather, sharpening minds that had been fogged by alcohol, freeing people from the natural rhythms of the body and the sun, thus making possible whole new kinds of work and, arguably, new kinds of thought, too. My special was unbelievably good, a ringing reminder of what a poor counterfeit decaf is; here were whole dimensions and depths of flavour that I had completely forgotten about. Everything in my visual field seemed pleasantly italicised, filmic, and I wondered if all these people with their cardboard-sleeve-swaddled cups had any idea what a powerful drug they were sipping. But how could they? This ‘double strength’ Go Energy + Caffeine Gel is based on the same formula as the innovative SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel, with the addition of 150mg caffeine; double the caffeine for performance, in one gel.

Interestingly, consuming decaffeinated coffee was also linked to a 21% lower risk of diabetes. This indicates that other beneficial compounds in coffee can also protect against type 2 diabetes ( 36). Summary Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that may reduce fatigue and drowsiness. [12] At normal doses, caffeine has variable effects on learning and memory, but it generally improves reaction time, wakefulness, concentration, and motor coordination. [52] [53] The amount of caffeine needed to produce these effects varies from person to person, depending on body size and degree of tolerance. [52] The desired effects arise approximately one hour after consumption, and the desired effects of a moderate dose usually subside after about three or four hours. [7] Smoking tobacco increases caffeine clearance by 56%. [156] Cigarette smoking induces the cytochrome P450 1A2 enzyme that breaks down caffeine, which may lead to increased caffeine tolerance and coffee consumption for regular smokers. [157] Birth control Caffeine in a dose dependent manner increases alertness in both fatigued and normal individuals.

Not only is our endurance boosting product great tasting, it will also give your body the energy it needs to go the extra mile and achieve your performance goals! Instead of F15, the shift key is used. This solves some of the issues with the above apps, but may cause the shift key to become "unpressed" sometimes Consumption of caffeine after abdominal surgery shortens the time to recovery of normal bowel function and shortens length of hospital stay.

Caffeine is a proven ergogenic aid in humans. [58] Caffeine improves athletic performance in aerobic (especially endurance sports) and anaerobic conditions. [58] Moderate doses of caffeine (around 5mg/kg [58]) can improve sprint performance, [59] cycling and running time trial performance, [58] endurance (i.e., it delays the onset of muscle fatigue and central fatigue), [58] [60] [61] and cycling power output. [58] Caffeine increases basal metabolic rate in adults. [62] [63] [64] Caffeine ingestion prior to aerobic exercise increases fat oxidation, particularly in persons with low physical fitness. [65] The power of caffeine to keep us awake and alert, to stem the natural tide of exhaustion, freed us from the circadian rhythms of our biology and so, along with the advent of artificial light, opened the frontier of night to the possibilities of work. Around noon, my compulsiveness began to subside, and I felt ready for a change of scene. I had yanked a few plants out of the vegetable garden that were not pulling their weight, and decided to go to the garden centre to buy some replacements. It was during the drive that I realised the true reason I was heading to this particular garden centre: it had this Airstream trailer parked out front that served really good espresso.The addition of caffeine (100–130mg) to commonly prescribed pain relievers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen modestly improves the proportion of people who achieve pain relief. [47] Much of the research into the effects of caffeine has only looked at coffee. We still don’t know much about other caffeine containing foods and drinks. Mixing caffeine with alcohol and other drugs This is where those other biologically active compounds come in. It’s also where the science becomes less clear. A few people suggest that excess intake may be linked to increased cancer risk or heart problems, while others say a few cups a day is fine.
