Caffeine is a stimulant drug used for mental alertness and to accelerate energy and power. It is also used to delay muscle fatigue as it goes deep into the muscle tissues.

Green Tea Extract increases energy expenditure and affects fat oxidation, which therefore promotes weight loss by increasing the body's metabolism.

Guarana is a climbing plant of the Sapindaceae family native to the Amazon basin. Guarana is best known for its fruit and seeds. Guarana extracts contain naturally high amounts of caffeine which the plant uses in defense against pathogens. Its extracts are a natural and abundant source of caffeine in most parts of the world. It is added to soft drinks, herbal tea, energy shots and used in capsules. The extracts have a positive effect on cognition and they also increase memory retention and physical endurance. A 2007 study on human pilots showed its positive effects on memory, alertness and mood. It is also reported to have antioxidant and antibacterial effects.

Kola Nut, bitter brown seed that contains caffeine. Once used to make cola soft drinks, Kola Nut has been replaced by artificial flavourings in most beverages.

Methylxanthines (Caffeine) is a naturally occurring stimulant. Active ingredients of cocoa, coffee, cola and tea - caffeine, theobromine and theophylline fall under this group. It relaxes bronchial muscles, dilates the constricted airways, relieves congestion and stimulates diuresis. They get properly absorbed and evenly distributed in the body. Methylxanthine is mostly prescribed for people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) having serious breathing problems persistently, despite of using inhaled anticholinergic and inhaled beta2-agonist. However it is not given top priority while treating COPD because it is known to cause side-effects. Headache, stomach upset, insomnia, heartburn, rapid breathing and rapid heart rate are some of the side effects experienced by people who have taken methylxanthine. Nevertheless, these side effects can be reduced by staying away from caffeine.

Theobromine- The bitter alkaloid found in chocolate is known as theobromine. It comes from the cacoa plant and is found in chocolate as well as chocolate free foods that are consist of theobromine. Theobromine belongs to the methylxanthine class of chemical compounds. It is found in the leaves of the tea plant, the kola or cola nut and acai berries. No bromine is present in theobromine, despite the name. The properties of theobromine are that it is souluble in water, is crystalline, is a bitter powder, is listed as white or colorless in color. It is considered a lesser homologue because it has a lesser effect to caffeine. Theobromine is the kind of isomer which belongs to paraxanthine and theophylline at the same time. It is basically a xanthine having two methyl groups.

Theophylline is a drug which belongs to the xanthine family. These substances are aromatic in nature and consist of a purine ring which is substituted with different chemical groups at different carbon positions to form different compounds chemically. In case of theophylline the purine ring has one methyl group substituted at carbon number 1 and 3 and one oxygen atom substituted at carbon number 6 and 2. Theophylline was originally extracted from tea leaves and was initially used to increase the rate of urination (diuresis); later it found more uses as a drug because of its effects on the respiratory and circulatory systems. However, it has many side effects; therefore, presently it is prescribed quite judiciously.
