Caffeina+ "red pill"
Health food supplement based on caffeine, taurine, inositol, folic acid, pantotenic acid, niacin, and vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, & B12
CAFEINE+ red pill was born out of the need to give athletes something to stimulate the neuromuscular system. I
n particular, the assumption of caffeine strengthens hormonal actions such as that of adrenalin and noradrenalin. Caffeine uses a well-studied biochemical mechanism to increase metabolism of fats and general base metabolism, increasing wakefulness, alertness, and decreasing sensations of pain and fatigue. These effects are the basis of caffeine’s demonstrable ability to improve stamina based performances and also short and medium-term power. Since adrenalin and noradrenalin underlie complex mechanisms in our cardiocirculatory system, the knowledge that beside the “benefits” of improving the athlete’s performance, unpleasant side effects can occur if they are abused (it should be sufficient to mention that the effects are the equivalent of drinking 10 cups of coffee). The non-protein amino acid taurine has important properties such as improving cardiac and muscle contractor ability as well as possessing antioxidant effects. This would explain the muscular damage prevention action and feeling of being less tired during physical exercise promoted by taurine. Inositol is a substance that occurs in the body that stimulates the motory and central nervous systems. The product is completed by the addition of a series of vitamins that complement and sustain caffeine’s, taurine’s, and inositol’s stimulant action. It is worth remembering that these three substances are often used in various drinks that are generically defined as “energy drinks”. One of the aims of Caffeine+ red pill is to offer the active concentrate in an individual capsule, that is, instead of as an energy drink in a can. The reduction in weight and space could be an advantage during a stamina effort (e.g. long distance races, etc.) with the athlete being able to carry the product with him.
