How does Caffeine help with fat burning?
Caffeine is found in many everyday drinks and medicines. It occurs naturally in coffee beans, tealeaves and coca, and along with alcohol and nicotine is one of the three most commonly used psychoactive drugs. Caffeine is a stimulator of the nervous system and directly of the postsynaptic receptor. According to the American Psychiatric Association, intoxication of caffeine occurs at doses greater than 500mg, where as most E/C/A stacked supplements contain around 100mg per serving. Some of the exercise specific benefits, which could be associated with caffeine intake, are increased lipolysis (the breakdown of tri-acy-lglycerol molecules to a glycerol and three fatty acids molecules, the fatty acids of which can be used for energy production in the muscle), increased contractility of skeletal muscles and even increased oxygen consumption.
