is one of the most popular stimulants on the globe. It is a powerful stimulant to the Central Nervous System. Moderate use seems to be desirable by all, male and female; although excessive use can produce undesirable effects. The amount of caffeine in the Soccer Charge formula is minimal. It is equivalent to about 3oz of coffee – or ¼ of one cup.
The purpose of caffeine in the Soccer Charge formula is to sharpen the nervous system, provide you with maximum energy support, and increased endurance.
How does caffeine accomplish so much at such a tiny dose?
Caffeine affects the CNS causing more alertness and allowing for more intense focus. The chemical structure of caffeine is very similar to that of adenine (a component of ATP, DNA, and cyclic AMP). Only the substituents are different. This helps explain caffeine’s stimulating effects. It is really close to being an energy metabolite in and of itself! Because of the structural similarities, caffeine can slip right into adenosine receptors, keeping cyclic AMP active rather than it being broken down. When cyclic AMP breaks down, the body’s energy supply decreases. Because caffeine fools the body into using enzymes to break it down instead, the cyclic AMP supply remains higher for longer.
Energy on the Field
Caffeine is a fast-acting substance that delivers the right molecular structure to your energy systems for maximum energy and power output. It acts to increase mental alertness and neurologically provide the surge you need to maximize your training. The result is sharper play on the field and a more intense focus.
Muscle Endurance
Not just a stimulant, this powerful substance reaches deep into the muscle cell to provide lasting power and delaying the onset of muscle fatigue. Caffeine is an ergogenic, meaning it increases the capacity for mental and physical labor. A study conducted in 1979 showed a 7% increase in distance cycled over a period of two hours in subjects who consumed caffeine compared to control subjects. Other studies attained much more dramatic results; one particular study of trained runners showed a 44% increase in “race-pace” endurance, as well as a 51% increase in cycling endurance.

Side effects and warnings
Caffeine is considered safe for healthy individuals up to 250mg per day. The Soccer Charge formula only contains a small amount of caffeine – about 20 mg. Always take Soccer Charge in the recommended dose of 2-4 capsules about one hour before activity with 16 oz of water. If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, have medical allergies, or if you want to make sure Soccer Charge is right for you, talk to your doctor before taking Soccer Charge. If any side effects are experienced, consumption should be stopped immediately.
We are proud to say that we have never heard of a single negative side of Soccer Charge.
