Description
Caffeine is the most popular drug on the globe.
It is a powerful stimulant to the Central Nervous
System. Moderate use seems to be desireable by all, male
and female; although excessive use can produce
undesireable effects. Caffeine was discovered in 1820.
In 1838, it was found that theine, a substance in tea,
was identical to caffeine. Six or so caffeine containing
plants are used more worldwide as a beverage than any
other plants and herbal materials put together. The many
caffeinated natural plants are are: Coffee, Tea, Kola,
Cocoa, and Guarana.
What is it
and where does it come from?
Caffeine is an alkaloid; of which
there are numerous compounds such as the
methylxanthines, with three distinguished compounds:
caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, found in
guarana, kola nuts, coffee, tea,

cocoa beans, mate and other plants. These compounds
have different biochemical effects, and are present in
different ratios in the different plant sources.
What does it do and what
scientific studies give evidence to support this?
Caffeine is a power and energy
accelerant! It's perfect to super energize your body for
powerful workouts. This fast-acting substance delivers
the right molecular structure to your energy systems for
maximum energy and power output. Caffeine much like
Ephedra acts to increase mental alertness and
neurologically provide the surge you need to maximize
your training. Not just a stimulant, this powerful
substance reaches deep into the muscle cell to provide
lasting power and delaying the onset of muscle fatigue.

So how does caffeine work to provide
you with maximum energy support and increased endurance?
Caffeine affects the CNS causing more alertness and
allowing for more intense focus. The chemical structure
of caffeine is very similar to that of adenine (a
component of ATP, DNA, and cyclic AMP). Only the
substituents are different. This helps explain
caffeine's stimulating effects. It is really close to
being an energy metabolite in and of itself! Because of
the structural similarities, caffeine can slip right
into adenosine receptors, keeping cyclic AMP active
rather than it being broken down. When cyclic AMP breaks
down, the body's energy supply decreases. Because
caffeine fools the body into using enzymes to break it
down instead, the cyclic AMP supply remains higher for
longer. I bet you always wanted to know that.
Because of its diolated blood vessel
restricting properties, it is used with migraines,
through the reduction of pain. It increases the potency
of aspirin or other analgestics and can releive asthma
attacks by widening the bronchial airways. The majority
of caffeine is produced in decaffeinating coffee.
Who needs it and are there any
symptoms of deficiency?
Well,
this is an interesting question. Nobody really needs
caffeine, but I once read an article that said if all of
America were to stop drinking coffee or
caffeine-containing soft drinks/beverages, productivity
would fall by 70%. So, anyone who wants more alertness
and a mental/physical boost could use a little caffeine
safely. Anyone who doesn't want to drink coffee or soda
could easily supplement their diets with an
energy-enhancing supplement that contains caffeine.
Deficiency is not an associated problem with caffeine
because it is not an essential nutrient.
How much should be taken? Are
there any side effects?
Nonpregnant adults should limit
their intake to about 250mg per day. Pregnant women
should be even more conservative with their intake.
Moderation in all caffeine containing products is the
basic rule of thumb for the positive attributes without
the undesireable effects of taking too
much.
