Caffeine

Caffeine is a globally recognized alkaloid derived from sources such as plants, guarana, kola nuts, tea, coffee and mate.  Stimulating the central nervous system (which is responsible for proper functioning of the entire body), caffeine has numerous desirable effects which will aid the body during a workout.  Because coffee and tea are used by various cultures to stimulate alertness throughout the day, caffeine will have the same effect on your life and workout routine!

 

Caffeine as a stimulant affects both the mind and the body.  It provides more alertness resulting in a greater focus during workouts.  This means the mind will be able to focus on each kinetic motion you make, resulting in more effective workouts so you can focus on the particular areas you want to work on.  Caffeine enables the body to achieve greater results due to heightened motivation and energy levels.

 

Caffeine contains diuretic properties, improves the functioning of the heart and stimulates the release of adrenaline which regulates the circulatory and respiratory system.  By improving blood flow, heart rate, and enabling the body to get the oxygen required during physical activity, caffeine enhances the body's ability to function under stress. 

 

Because caffeine is not an essential nutrient for your body, the body can not be deficient in it.  Try adding caffeine supplementation to maintain alertness and sustain energy levels throughout the day!  If you are pregnant or nursing, limit the amount of caffeine ingested.  The recommended dosage of caffeine for adults is 250 mg a day.
