What is Caffeine Natural Coffee Extract?

Caffeine is known in medicine as trimethylxanthine. When isolated in pure form as Caffeine Powder Extract, caffeine is a very bitter white crystalline powder that is a psychoactive stimulant drug. It's important to know that caffeine is an addictive drug. The reason for this is because Caffeine operates using the same mechanisms that amphetamines, cocaine, and heroin use to stimulate the brain. Relatively speaking, caffeine's effects are milder than amphetamines, cocaine and heroin, but it is manipulating the same channels in the brain, and that is one of the things that give caffeine its addictive qualities. People who cannot function without it and must consume it every day are most likely addicted to caffeine. The most common sources of caffeine are coffee, tea, soft drinks, and sports or energy drinks. When used in food, caffeine is regulated and classified as a food additive by the FDA. Food and beverage manufacturers are mandated by law to list caffeine on their products' label only when caffeine has been added. As such, Caffeine inherent in other ingredients which are used in the production process need not be on the label, as in the case of chocolates in candy bars. Those who do not want caffeine in their diet need to be aware and mindful of such natural, plant sources when making food choices.

In humans, caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, having the effect of warding off drowsiness temporarily and restoring alertness. Caffeine is the world's most popular psychoactive substance, but unlike most other psychoactive substances it is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions. In North America, nearly 90% of all adults consume caffeine on a daily basis. Caffeine is classified by the United States FDA as a multi purpose additive that is generally safe for food and consumption. Pharmacologically, caffeine is one of a group of stimulants called methylxanthine, or xanthine, which occur naturally in some plants. Beverages and food products made from the nuts, seeds or leaves of these plants are major sources of natural caffeine, such as coffee (made from the Coffea arabica plant); soft drinks, like Coca Cola (made from Kola nuts); and tea (from the leaves of Thea sinensis). Cocoa, which is well-known for its use in making chocolate, contains caffeine as well as theobromine, another xanthine.

What is Caffeine Natural Coffee Extract used for and who uses it?

Caffeine is well known to increasing both alertness levels and attention spans. A cup of coffee or tea is often recommended to counter sleepiness, especially for those driving long distances or for those who need to stay up for long hours. Recent research has found some unexpected health benefits gained through caffeine consumption. Many caffeine-containing products, especially tea and including coffee as well, have been found to contain antioxidants. Antioxidants have health benefits in terms of heart health and cancer prevention. Medically, caffeine is effective as a cardiac stimulant and also as a mild diuretic in increasing urine production. Recreationally, it aids in providing an energy boost or a feeling of heightened alertness. Students often use it to stay up and absorb as much as possible while cramming for finals and drivers use it to keep them awake until they reach their destination.

The main ingredient found in coffee, Caffeine, is a stimulant. What it does is it causes your heart rate to increase, your pupils to dilate, and your muscles to tighten up by injecting adrenalin into your system to give you a boost and make you feel good. Caffeine may be beneficial in a weight control program because it increases the rate at which the body burns calories for hours after being consumed. Caffeine's ability to improve physical performance is well known among well-trained athletes. Through a mechanism that is not completely understood, caffeine is able to significantly increase endurance and speed in many situations. Caffeine has been used for years by runners and endurance athletes to aid in the metabolism of fatty acids. For that reason, excessive use of caffeine is restricted in international competitions. In essence, anyone who needs to stay awake and be alert, from students who are studying for their finals to athletes who need an extra boost, can take advantage of caffeine’s stimulant properties.

Through the years, small amounts of caffeine have been reported to help control weight, alleviate pain, open up airways for improved breathing, and overcome chronic fatigue. Small amounts of caffeine are found to benefit people who are at high-risk for liver disease, increases muscle strength, increases metabolism by breaking down fat, freeing fatty acids and forcing them to be burned. (Caffeine is used widely as the main active ingredient in many diet pills), increases pain relief medication effects, increases mental faculty, and reduces asthma symptoms. There is also evidence from studies that caffeine may reduce the risk of kidney stones.

The effect of caffeine on an individual will depend on several factors, namely: how much you ingest, your height and weight, your general health, your mood, whether you have caffeine often, and whether you have caffeine on its own, with food or with other drugs.
