 Caffeine is the most popular stimulant on the market today. It is a powerful stimulant for the Central Nervous System. Each capsule contains 200 mg of caffeine. Caffeine is an alkaloid; 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.
Caffeine affects the Central Nervous System, which increases alertness and mental 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. Caffeine is close to being an energy metabolite in and of itself! The structural similarities allow caffeine to 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. Caffeine fools the body into using enzymes to break it down instead, so the cyclic AMP supply remains higher for longer.
