Caffeine 200mg - 90 capsules

Caffeine gets the circulation going and can provide motivation and energy

Many people cannot imagine starting the day without a cup of hot coffee. The caffeine it contains gets the circulation going and has a positive effect on mood. On average, every German consumes around 200 mg of caffeine every day. That's about the equivalent of two cups of coffee.

Caffeine has a stimulating effect, relieves tiredness and increases alertness and the ability to concentrate. In addition, the memory capacity of the brain is also increased. Thus, caffeine can have a short-term positive effect on learning performance during exam phases.

Two studies show that caffeine can also improve athletic performance. It has been shown that cyclists and runners can achieve higher endurance performance under caffeine.

In the second study, athletes performed significantly better deadlifts, bench presses, and squats after taking caffeine.

The cause of the increase in performance during sport lies in the effect of caffeine on the blood vessels. It can expand the blood vessels in the periphery, which means that the muscles are better supplied with oxygen. In addition, caffeine can increase heart activity and expand the bronchi. This can also have a positive effect on physical performance.
Another benefit of caffeine appears to be a change in pain perception. The perceived exertion during training is reduced so that the athlete can increase their training intensity without it feeling much more strenuous. In other words, the workout feels easier.

Caffeine takes 30 to 45 minutes to enter the bloodstream. It is distributed in the body via this before it is finally excreted with the urine. The half-life of caffeine in the body is around four hours.
