All About Caffeine
Wake up to caffeine
Caffeine is found naturally in many plants such as coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa beans, guarana and cola nuts. People have enjoyed food and beverages containing caffeine for thousands of years. Today, caffeine is the world’s most popular drug and is found in coffee, tea, chocolate, cola drinks, energy drinks and guarana products.
Caffeine
is a stimulant which makes the central nervous system (CNS) speed
up the messages to and from the brain. This
produces a condition of wakefulness and increased mental alertness. Caffeine
stimulates the central nervous system by blocking adenosine, a neurotransmitter
that normally cause a feeling of fatigue. This alters the uptake
of other neurotransmitters such as dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin
and adrenaline resulting in an increase of mental alertness.
