\"Caffeine<\/p>\n

Whether you want to take a\u00a0HIIT class\u00a0to the next level or\u00a0increase your stamina on a run, all walks of active people have used caffeine to\u00a0enhance performance. Some caffeine effects include helping\u00a0boost energy and increase focus<\/a>, and they may also help get you over hurdles during your workout.<\/p>\n

Studies have found that caffeine\u00a0improves performance in athletes<\/a>, and even the\u00a0International Olympic Committee<\/a>\u00a0has acknowledged its effectiveness.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0Marie Spano, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at some caffeine effects and how you can maximize its benefits.<\/p>\n

1. Know What It Does<\/h2>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

Caffeine is one of the best-known\u00a0nootropics, a group of substances that support mental alertness, performance, and focus. It\u2019s also the\u00a0most widely consumed<\/a>\u00a0ergogenic (performance-enhancing) aid in the world\u00a0and\u00a0may help boost your\u00a0anaerobic power performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with a proper diet, consuming caffeine before a workout may give you more energy or help you\u00a0lift more after limited sleep<\/a>. However, caffeine should never replace sleep. It should supplement\u00a0healthy rest, exercise, and food.<\/p>\n

2. Assess How It Works for You<\/h2>\n

\u201cCaffeine works by blocking receptors in the brain that sense fatigue,\u201d explains\u00a0Kyla 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\u00a0caffeine<\/a>\u00a0binds to the same receptors, reducing drowsiness.<\/p>\n

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 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

3. Understand the Different Types<\/h2>\n

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\u00a02019 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

\u201cToo much caffeine\u00a0can be a bad thing,\u201d says Channell, with high doses potentially impacting\u00a0cardiovascular health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Consume the Right Amount<\/h2>\n

\"cup<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, consuming up to\u00a0400 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

One scoop of\u00a0Beachbody 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

5. Time It Just Right<\/h2>\n

\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\u00a0between 15 and 120 minutes<\/a>, but it takes about five hours for your body to eliminate half of it.<\/p>\n

For performance benefits, it\u2019s best to take caffeine about 30 minutes before exercising. To support focus and attention,\u00a0Beachbody 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
