Long-acting
caffeine for supplements

Caffeine in its various forms is used by most people as a “pick me up” product to increase their focus and attention. Some people start their day with a cup Most people today start their day with a cup of coffee which rapidly and completely gets absorbed in the body and reaches maximum plasma concentration between 15 minutes and 2 hours. The half-life of caffeine is around 4-6 hours and is not affected by age, maybe shorter in certain groups. Caffeine absorbs quickly into the bloodstream through the gut and triggers a reaction in the brain. Caffeine thus produces dose-dependent generalized activation of CNS.

With its short half-life, many individuals consume multiple caffeine doses per day, in coffee or other caffeinated beverages, to maintain its effects. This often leads to an overdose and increase of adrenaline, causing insomnia, anxiousness, headache, and jitters – the physical sensation of feeling a rush followed by a sudden crash of energy.

It helps prevent overdoses, jitters, and the dreaded "caffeine crash". Designed using our N2DS SR platform, CaffXtend® is encapsulated in microbeads to gradually release caffeine over a 12‐hour period.

Both Caffeine and the unique ingredients that comprise the matrix are natural. This enables products containing CaffXtend® to provide a long-lasting effect of caffeine from a single dose while allowing them a natural or clean label claim.
