What Does Coffeeberry Extract Do?

Coffeeberry extract is a premium ingredient derived from the whole fruit of the coffee plant, offering a natural spectrum of caffeine and potent polyphenols. Unlike isolated synthetic caffeine, it provides a more holistic energy boost that supports both physical output and cognitive health.

  • Sustained Energy Production: Provides a natural source of caffeine that increases alertness and reduces the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during heavy lifting.
  • BDNF Support: Unique to whole coffee fruit, this extract has been shown to significantly increase Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein vital for focus, mood, and neuroplasticity.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Rich in chlorogenic acids, it helps neutralize oxidative stress caused by intense training, potentially aiding in faster recovery.
  • Enhanced Mental Clarity: It bridges the gap between raw stimulation and mental focus, helping you stay "locked in" during complex movements or long training sessions.

Key Insight: Because Coffeeberry is a whole-fruit extract, it is often standardized for caffeine content. Always check if your 200mg dose is the total weight of the extract or the specific caffeine yield to ensure you aren't over-consuming stimulants when stacking with other products.

Side Effects & Warnings

  • Stimulant Sensitivity: As a natural source of caffeine, it can cause jitters, rapid heartbeat, or restlessness in sensitive individuals.
  • Sleep Interference: Consuming this extract within 6 hours of bedtime may disrupt your ability to fall asleep due to its stimulant properties.
  • Gastrointestinal Distress: Some users may experience mild stomach acidity or a laxative effect, typical of coffee-derived ingredients.

Tip: If you are new to whole-fruit extracts, start with a 100mg dose to see how the unique polyphenols affect your focus compared to standard caffeine anhydrous.
