Some caffeine effects include helping\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20164566\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boost energy and increase focus<\/a>, and they may also help get you over hurdles during your workout.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have found that caffeine\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5622793\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">improves performance in athletes<\/a>, and even the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/52\/7\/439.long\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Olympic Committee<\/a>\u00a0has acknowledged its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>However, chugging more\u00a0caffeine before a workout\u00a0does not mean more power. \u201cThe main factors to making caffeine more effective include timing and type,\u201d explains\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mariespano\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marie Spano, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at some caffeine effects and how you can maximize its benefits.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Know What It Does<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-178629 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/12110657\/how-to-make-caffeine-more-effective-600-effects.jpg\" alt=\"woman pouring coffee | How to Make Caffeine More Effective\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Caffeine is one of the best-known\u00a0nootropics, a group of substances that support mental alertness, performance, and focus. It\u2019s also the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5445139\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most widely consumed<\/a>\u00a0ergogenic (performance-enhancing) aid in the world\u00a0and\u00a0may help boost your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4947244\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anaerobic power performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Along with a proper diet, consuming caffeine before a workout may give you more energy or help you\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22349085\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lift more after limited sleep<\/a>. However, caffeine should never replace sleep. It should supplement\u00a0healthy rest, exercise, and food.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Assess How It Works for You<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cCaffeine works by blocking receptors in the brain that sense fatigue,\u201d explains\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nutritionalrevolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kyla Channell<\/a>, who holds a master\u2019s in nutrition and human performance. It is chemically similar to a neuromodulator in the brain that regulates sleepiness \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK519490\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caffeine<\/a>\u00a0binds to the same receptors, reducing drowsiness.<\/p>\n<p>However, this sparks another question: Are you a fast, slow, or moderate metabolizer of caffeine? The answer is largely determined by your genes, and more specifically, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3381939\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CYP1A2 gene<\/a>, explains Channell. You could find out by taking an at-home genetic test, but you\u2019re likely better off experimenting with dosages and timing to get a sense for how it personally affects you.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Understand the Different Types<\/h2>\n<p>Many caffeine sources are extracted from plants. The most familiar plant sources are tea leaves, coffee beans, and cacao beans. Another common source in supplements is caffeine anhydrous, or a highly concentrated form of caffeine. Even though it\u2019s often plant-derived, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/30196576\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2019 study<\/a>\u00a0found caffeine levels can be as high as 176 percent of what the label states in some Australian supplements. This could result in mega-dosing (and unsavory side effects).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo much caffeine\u00a0can be a bad thing,\u201d says Channell, with high doses potentially impacting\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK202224\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cardiovascular health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Consume the Right Amount<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-178628 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/12110650\/how-to-make-caffeine-more-effective-600-amount.jpg\" alt=\"cup of coffee and tea side by side | How to Make Caffeine More Effective\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration, consuming up to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much\">400 mg of caffeine a day<\/a>\u00a0(the equivalent of about four to five cups of coffee) is safe for most healthy adults.<\/p>\n<p>One scoop of\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bodi.pxf.io\/c\/4818714\/2213644\/27336\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0delivers 100 mg of caffeine, which studies show is an efficacious amount to reap many of its performance-enhancing benefits.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Time It Just Right<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cCaffeine is absorbed fast,\u201d says Spano. \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t\u00a0leave your body quickly.\u201d After you ingest it, caffeine reaches peak levels in the bloodstream\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK223808\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">between 15 and 120 minutes<\/a>, but it takes about five hours for your body to eliminate half of it.<\/p>\n<p>For performance benefits, it\u2019s best to take caffeine about 30 minutes before exercising. To support focus and attention,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bodi.pxf.io\/c\/4818714\/2213644\/27336\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0provides 100 mg of caffeine from green tea and coffee bean extract, and it also includes\u00a0beta-alanine\u00a0and\u00a0quercetin. The formula helps you go harder for longer \u2014 safely and effectively.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using caffeine for maximum performance and Energize Pre-Workout for the energy to do it are my two ergogenic training aids.
