Description
Mega Pro’s Caffeine Alert delivers about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee or one caplet of Maximum Strength NoDoz®. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that promotes exercise and mental performance as well as thermogenesis (calorie burning). Caffeine Alert can restore mental alertness when fatigued or drowsy, enhance energy and performance, and boost the metabolism.
Caffeine is a xanthine derivative and alkaloid found in coffee, guarana, kola nuts, tea, cocoa beans, yerba mate and other plants. It is usually produced by decaffeinating coffee. Caffeine is commonly added to soft drinks, energy drinks and weight loss supplements. Research suggests that caffeine prevents the breakdown of cyclic AMP (adenosine monophosphate), allowing energy levels to remain higher.
One study, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, suggests caffeine improves mental and physical performance in athletes. The study authors recommend that caffeine be taken gradually at low doses for 3 or 4 days to prevent tolerance. Caffeine can be taken prior to training to sustain exercise intensity and improve mental performance such as concentration.

I was skeptical about this product until I tried it and it works better than drinking 4 cups of coffee and it doesn't leave you feeling edgy like coffee makes you feel. I like this product
