Multiple controlled studies in humans have shown that coffee can improve memory, mood, energy levels, reaction times and general function.

Coffee contains a stimulant called caffeine, which is psychoactive substance. After drinking coffee the caffeine is absorbed into the bloodstream.

After making its way to the brain, there it blocks the neurotransmitter adenosine which increases other neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine, enhancing firing of neurones.

2. Improves physical performance and enhances energy levels

Caffeine stimulates your nervous system causing an increase of epinephrine (adrenaline) in your blood. This is our fight-or-flight hormone that prepares the body for physical output.

Caffeine can improve physical performance by 12% on average.

Try drinking a cup 30mins before your training.
