Does Formula XSport contain caffeine?
A. No. Although caffeine has been shown to increase alertness, Formula XSport does not contain caffeine for a several reasons. 1. Caffeine is a diuretic. This means it will work to dehydrate the body and dehydration is the number one cause of poor performance. Diuretics not only dehydrate the body, they can cause bowel movements and gastric distress which would obviously be detrimental to your exercise bout. 2. Caffeine is also a thermogenic. This means it will raise your heartbeat and core body temperature. As you can guess, this may not be wise when exercising at intense levels or in heat. 3. Despite feeling adrenalized and pumped up, caffeine has not shown any benefit on power and strength. 4. Because caffeine is a stimulant it is still monitored by all major organizations, WADA, USADA, and the NCAA, and only allowable in the blood stream at specific levels.
