Ingredients explained
Caffeine anhydrous
Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors and increases catecholamines, which may enhance alertness, perceived energy and thermogenesis.
Caution: High caffeine may cause jitteriness, rapid heart rate and sleep disruption, especially if taken late in the day or combined with other stimulants.
Chlorogenic acids (from green coffee extract, C. canephora robusta)
Chlorogenic acids may influence glucose handling and lipid metabolism, which can affect energy use during calorie restriction and activity.
Caution: May cause stomach discomfort in some people; contains caffeine-related compounds that can add to total stimulant load.
Yohimbine (from yohimbe extract, 6%)
Yohimbine antagonises alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, which may increase norepinephrine signalling and promote thermogenic activity.
Caution: Can raise heart rate and blood pressure and may increase anxiety or restlessness, especially when combined with caffeine.
Theobromine (from cocoa extract)
Theobromine is a mild methylxanthine that may support alertness and vascular tone while contributing to overall stimulant effects.
Caution: Adds to total stimulant burden and may cause palpitations or sleep disturbance in sensitive users.
L-theanine
L-theanine modulates neurotransmitters such as GABA and glutamate, which may promote a calm yet focused state alongside caffeine.
Caution: May cause mild drowsiness in some individuals, especially when taken without caffeine.
How they work together
Caffeine, yohimbine and theobromine stimulate adrenergic and methylxanthine pathways that may increase alertness and thermogenic activity. Chlorogenic acids act on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism to influence energy use. L-theanine helps smooth stimulant effects to support focus without excessive jitteriness.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Not for those under 18 years. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Stop use and speak with a doctor if unusual symptoms occur. Stop use two weeks before surgery. Speak with a doctor before use if you have been treated for, diagnosed with, or have a family history of any medical condition, or if you use any prescription or over-the-counter medicines. Do not use if you have cardiovascular disorders, anxiety, or sleep disorders. Each serving contains caffeine equivalent to about three cups of coffee; caffeine-sensitive individuals may experience restlessness, nervousness, tremors, headaches, anxiety, palpitations, increased heart rate, or difficulty sleeping. Do not combine with other sources of caffeine or stimulants. Consult a doctor before starting any diet or exercise programme. Do not exceed the recommended serving. Use only as directed.
Who should be cautious: People sensitive to stimulants or with high blood pressure, heart rhythm concerns, anxiety, or sleep issues may need extra caution. Those with upcoming surgery should stop two weeks before. Due to yohimbine and high caffeine content, people on sedatives, stimulant medicines, or medications that affect blood pressure or heart rate should discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place at 15–27°C. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if packaging is tampered.
