5. Health Benefits & Mechanism of Action

Caffeine’s primary benefit is its action as a central nervous system stimulant. Its mechanisms include:

• Cognitive Enhancement & Alertness: Acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist in the brain, blocking the calming effects of adenosine, which leads to increased neuron firing and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.

• Ergogenic Aid: Enhances athletic performance by increasing adrenaline levels, mobilizing fatty acids from fat tissues, and improving muscle contraction.

• Metabolic Boost: Temporarily increases metabolic rate and promotes lipolysis, making it a staple in weight management formulations.

• Antioxidant Properties: Exhibits antioxidant activity, helping to neutralize free radicals.
