Product Information

It may also increase blood adrenaline levels and increase brain activity of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine ( 3). Research has shown that while caffeine remains in your system for an average of five hours, the time period may range from one and a half hours to nine hours, depending on the individual ( 17). Death from caffeine ingestion appears to be rare, and most commonly caused by an intentional overdose of medications. [144] In 2016, 3702 caffeine-related exposures were reported to Poison Control Centers in the United States, of which 846 required treatment at a medical facility, and 16 had a major outcome; and several caffeine-related deaths are reported in case studies. [144] The LD 50 of caffeine in rats is 192 milligrams per kilogram, the fatal dose in humans is estimated to be 150–200 milligrams per kilogram (2.2lb) of body mass (75–100 cups of coffee for a 70kg (150lb) adult). [145] [146] There are cases where doses as low as 57 milligrams per kilogram have been fatal. [147] A number of fatalities have been caused by overdoses of readily available powdered caffeine supplements, for which the estimated lethal amount is less than a tablespoon. [148] The lethal dose is lower in individuals whose ability to metabolize caffeine is impaired due to genetics or chronic liver disease. [149] A death was reported in 2013 of a man with liver cirrhosis who overdosed on caffeinated mints. [150] [151] Interactions

However, at higher doses, these effects may become more pronounced, leading to anxiety and nervousness. Those who consumed more than 450 mg daily had a significantly increased risk of incontinence, compared to those who consumed less than 150 mg per day ( 45). Chocolate derived from cocoa beans contains a small amount of caffeine. The weak stimulant effect of chocolate may be due to a combination of theobromine and theophylline, as well as caffeine. [237] A typical 28-gram serving of a milk chocolate bar has about as much caffeine as a cup of decaffeinated coffee. By weight, dark chocolate has one to two times the amount of caffeine as coffee: 80–160mg per 100g. Higher percentages of cocoa such as 90% amount to 200mg per 100g approximately and thus, a 100-gram 85% cocoa chocolate bar contains about 195mg caffeine. [221] Tablets No-Doz 100mg caffeine tablets Pure anhydrous caffeine is a bitter-tasting, white, odorless powder with a melting point of 235–238°C. [10] [11] Caffeine is moderately soluble in water at room temperature (2g/100 mL), but very soluble in boiling water (66g/100 mL). [193] It is also moderately soluble in ethanol (1.5g/100 mL). [193] It is weakly basic (pK a of conjugate acid = ~0.6) requiring strong acid to protonate it. [194] Caffeine does not contain any stereogenic centers [195] and hence is classified as an achiral molecule. [196] Caffeine is a proven ergogenic aid in humans. [58] Caffeine improves athletic performance in aerobic (especially endurance sports) and anaerobic conditions. [58] Moderate doses of caffeine (around 5mg/kg [58]) can improve sprint performance, [59] cycling and running time trial performance, [58] endurance (i.e., it delays the onset of muscle fatigue and central fatigue), [58] [60] [61] and cycling power output. [58] Caffeine increases basal metabolic rate in adults. [62] [63] [64] Caffeine ingestion prior to aerobic exercise increases fat oxidation, particularly in persons with low physical fitness. [65]

Whether caffeine also enhances creativity is a different question, however, and there’s some reason to doubt that it does. Caffeine improves our focus and ability to concentrate, which surely enhances linear and abstract thinking, but creativity works very differently. It may depend on the loss of a certain kind of focus, and the freedom to let the mind off the leash of linear thought.

We have reduced the amount of sugar and used a blend of sweeteners to maintain the Pepsi taste people expect.True, there is reason to take these findings with a pinch of salt, if only because this kind of research is difficult to do well. The problem is finding a good control group in a society in which virtually everyone is addicted to caffeine. But the consensus seems to be that caffeine does improve mental (and physical) performance to some degree. Trimethyluric acid is a minor caffeine metabolite. [8] 7-Methylxanthine is also a metabolite of caffeine. [189] [190] Each of the above metabolites is further metabolized and then excreted in the urine. Caffeine can accumulate in individuals with severe liver disease, increasing its half-life. [191] In 1827, M. Oudry isolated "théine" from tea, [264] but in 1838 it was proved by Mulder [265] and by Carl Jobst [266] that theine was actually the same as caffeine.
