Fueling Fitness: The Caffeine Edge in Coffee Energy Pods

Fueling Fitness: The Caffeine Edge in Coffee Energy Pods

Hey there, fitness enthusiasts! Have you ever wondered about the secret link between your daily coffee fix and your performance at the gym? If your answer is yes, keep reading because there's exciting news on the horizon. And if you're just curious about how you can level up your workout regime while indulging in some delightful flavors, you're in the right place too.

Recently, a compelling study titled “Effect of 3 and 6 mg/kg of caffeine on fat oxidation during exercise in healthy active females” caught our attention, and we bet it'll catch yours too.

What's the Big Deal?

Okay, let's break this down. The study's main goal was to see how different doses of caffeine impacted the way active women's bodies burned fat during exercise. If you're scratching your head thinking, "mg/kg?! VO2max?! Oxidation?!", don't fret! Here's what they mean:

  • mg/kg: This simply refers to milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight. So, if you weigh 50kg, 3 mg/kg would mean 150mg of caffeine.
  • VO2 max: This is the maximum amount of oxygen someone can utilize during intense exercise. It's a big deal for athletes because it measures your fitness level.
  • Oxidation: It's a fancy way of saying "burning." So, fat oxidation means how much fat your body is using up for energy.

Now, for the results! Drum roll, please... The study found that the women who took caffeine burned more fat during their workouts. And here's where it gets interesting: this fat-burning magic happened at both caffeine doses – 3mg/kg and 6mg/kg of body weight. Note that higher, 6mg/kg, doesn’t mean better, as noted in this study and similar benefits were noted at 3mg/kg. 

But, there's more! These caffeine doses also decreased the rate at which carbohydrates were burned for energy. Essentially, this means the body prefers to use fat as its primary fuel. How cool is that?

How Does This Translate to Our Coffee Energy Pods?

Every one of our Coffee Energy Pods contains between 60 to 80mg of caffeine. For someone weighing around 60kg or 132lbs, consuming just one pod along with a cup of coffee gets them right within that sweet spot the study identified for optimal fat oxidation.

But it's not just about caffeine. Our Energy Pods are a mini power-packed nutrition bomb. They come loaded with essential nutrients from almonds and a whopping 10g of protein. So while you're benefiting from the caffeine-fueled fat-burning boost, you're also feeding your muscles and body with the nutrients it craves.
