Caffeine To Go Lean

Caffeine has been around for thousands of years. Found in coffee, teas, cocoa, guarana and kola beans, it is the most widely consumed dietary supplement whether intentionally or not. It has also been the most widely studied such product with many beneficial qualities for all people.

The obvious effect of caffeine, and the most noticeable, is an increase in heart rate. In the past, it was thought that this effect could lead to heart attacks or heart disease. This is simply not the case. Numerous studies have concluded that caffeine has no adverse effect on the heart or other organs. Athletes have long understood the benefits of caffeine both for its increase in energy as well as the associated increase in blood flow. Workouts can last longer and results are increased.

Also, caffeine has been shown to save glycogen, which is a major source of energy. This delays fatigue and increases power and energy. Less known is the effect that caffeine plays with the mind. It has been shown to increase alertness and focus which helps athletes train longer and more effectively.

Yet another benefit from caffeine is its assistance in muscle recovery and repair of lean muscle tissue. And we all know that the development of lean muscle mass leads to a greater burning of fat. In fact, nearly every weight loss supplement contains caffeine in some form or another. Our most popular fat burner and weight loss supplements, the Hydroxycut line, manufactured by MuscleTech, contain caffeine in several forms including several types of tea.

But just as with nearly everything, too much is not a good thing. Excess caffeine can cause a diuretic effect which can lead to dehydration, a big concern for athletes. It can also lead to a jittery feeling and that dreaded “caffeine crash.” Our customers find that 250 mg taken 15 minutes before a workout will provide the energy they need and the fat burning results they crave.
