Caffeine and the human body
Caffeine is known as a purine alkaloid and has been described as a white, odourless powder with a slightly bitter taste. Caffeine is found in over 60 species of plants around the world. It is produced by extraction from green coffee beans, tea leaves, and cola nuts, as well as by synthetic processes. And what does its absorption in our body look like? Well, caffeine in the human body is quickly absorbed by the small intestine after oral administration within 45 minutes, and its mean peak value occurs after 30 minutes, which is directly pH dependent and can be prolonged by food consumption. Its metabolic half-life is 3-5 hours and it easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. And did you know that individual variability in response to caffeine consumption is related, among others, to with genetic aspects (1)?
Why is caffeine so popular?
Caffeine is the most consumed central nervous system stimulant in the world and one of the most widely studied ingredients in the human diet. Caffeine can be consumed in products made from natural sources, such as coffee, tea, and chocolate. The popularity of caffeine results from various subjective benefits that we associate with its consumption. It is about increased attention and alertness, increased work efficiency, elevated mood and delayed falling asleep (2). Caffeine is known as an ergogenic aid and is rated as the most consumed stimulant in the world (3). Therefore, it is often an ingredient in dietary supplements to be used before training. It is worth remembering that caffeine helps to improve focus/concentration and increase alertness (measured as the speed of reaction time) (4).
Caffeine with the addition of grapefruit extract
The caffeine we offer you has been additionally enriched with grapefruit extract, which is standardized for the content of naringenin. Grapefruit exhibits properties that support the body's immunity and support the defence system (4). Naringenin, in turn, is a compound that occurs in citrus fruits and belongs to the group of flavonoids. It exhibits antioxidant properties and has the ability to scavenge free radicals (5).
