Caffeine Charge is Yamamoto’s dietary supplement, designed and developed to provide targeted support for athletes at times when mental energy, focus and alertness are crucial to performance. The formula combines selected ingredients and advanced technologies, designed to ensure effectiveness and control of the stimulating effect: it combines the patented EnXtra Alpinia galanga extract with NEWCAFF 75 microencapsulated caffeine.
The synergy of patented EnXtra Alpinia galanga extract and NewCaff microencapsulated caffeine allows for a balanced approach to stimulation, ideal before training, competition or in situations of high physical and mental exertion. This supplement is designed to support the athlete throughout the duration of their performance.
Thanks to its moderate caffeine content (75 mg per tablet) and microencapsulation technology, Caffeine Charge promotes a more gradual and controlled stimulation, making it suitable even for those who want functional support without resorting to high doses of stimulants. NewCaff™ Caffeine is, in fact, a patented form of caffeine in a microencapsulated form with gradual and prolonged release: NewCaff™ can remain in the body for longer, optimising its effects. Among the main uses of caffeine, its stimulating effect on the nervous system is certainly worth mentioning, as it supports and enhances mental faculties such as concentration and focus. In athletes, the use of NewCaff™ microencapsulated caffeine can provide support throughout performance, helping to maintain levels of concentration, responsiveness, alertness and energy 4,5,6.
Caffeine Charge also contains Alpinia galanga extract, a plant (Thai ginger) from which the patented EnXtra extract is derived. Clinical studies have shown that a 300 mg dose of EnXtra helps maintain mental clarity and focus for up to five hours, provides sustained energy (as it is stimulant-free), helps reduce feelings of fatigue, and has a synergistic effect with caffeine when combined1,2,3.
EnXtra can be combined with caffeine to enhance and prolong the nootropic benefits of caffeine. For this reason, these two nutraceuticals have been combined in the Caffeine Charge formula.
