We have three different types of Caffeine Anhydrous: Caffeine Natural Coffee Extract, Caffeine Natural Green Tea and Caffeine Anhydrous Powder - Synthetic. All of these powders are caffeine anhydrous. The first two are natural fermentation extractions from coffee and tea, while the third is synthetically produced and much cheaper.

What is Caffeine Powder?

Caffeine, or caffeine anhydrous, is a psychoactive stimulant known chemically as trimethylxanthine. Caffeine anhydrous belongs to group of stimulants called xanthines, which naturally occur in some plants.

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, which wards off drowsiness and restores alertness. The most commonly consumed sources of caffeine are coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks and sports/energy drinks.

Caffeine is the world's most popular psychoactive substance. Nearly 90 percent of adults in North America consume caffeine on a daily basis. Unlike most other psychoactive substances, caffeine is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions. Caffeine anhydrous is classified by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a multipurpose additive or food additive as it is generally safe for food and consumption. Food and beverage manufacturers are mandated by law to list caffeine on labels only when caffeine has been added to a product. Caffeine that occurs naturally in ingredients is not required to be listed.

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), Coca Cola (made from kola nuts), and tea (from Camellia sinensis leaves). Guarana is another plant source of caffeine.

Benefits of Caffeine Powder

Caffeine is used by many to increase alertness. 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. However, while caffeine can boost energy levels temporarily, it should not be used as a replacement for sleep.

Caffeine is widely used as the main active ingredient in many diet pills. This is because caffeine can act as an appetite suppressant. Additionally, caffeine may increase calorie burning to a small degree and acts as a diuretic which causes some reduction in water weight. While caffeine may be helpful as an adjunct to a weight loss plan, it can not be used in place of a healthy diet and exercise program for those who wish to reduce fat.

The use of caffeine to improve physical performance is well known among professional athletes.

Potential Side Effects of Caffeine Powder

When taken in small amounts, the immediate effects of caffeine use include feeling more alert, increased metabolism, increased urination, increased body temperature and increased production of acid in the digestive system. How caffeine affects an individual depends on several factors, including how much is used, height and weight, general health, mood, tolerance and whether caffeine is used on its own, with food or with other drugs. Side effects may be experienced with consumption of even small servings of caffeine in those who are very sensitive or in individuals who are not accustomed to using caffeine.

Caffeine causes the heart rate to increase, pupils to dilate and muscles to tighten up by stimulating increased release of adrenalin.

Too much caffeine causes an array of problems including restlessness, irritability, anxiety, heartburn, headaches, high blood pressure, sleeplessness, rapid heartbeat and nausea. As with any substance, there can be numerous other contributing factors. Exercise caution with the handling, weighing and consumption of this product.

Suggested Use of Caffeine Powder

Caffeine from other sources such as coffee, tea, and soft drinks must be taken into account when determining the right serving size of caffeine powder for a given individual.
