The TRUTH About Coffeeberry® And Exercise Performance

Free radicals, unstable molecules that are byproducts of normal metabolism, can be very dangerous to your body.

Free radicals go by another name: reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Increased free radicals can cause damage to the cells of your body, and also greatly increase inflammation.

Reactive oxygen species can also be produced due to increased exercise demand.

This is due, in part, to the oxygen demand required during maximal or near maximal exercise intensities.

This can be as detrimental to your body and can cause cellular damage and increased inflammation.

And this may reduce exercise and athletic performance, and can impair your ability to exercise and train to increase performance.

One way to stop the damage from reactive oxygen species is by having higher antioxidant levels.

Exercise can increase your total antioxidant levels.

However, the levels may not reach the levels needed to match or stop the production of free radicals due to increased activity.

Let me explain...

Coffeeberry® and Antioxidants

Coffeeberry® comes from the fruit of the coffee plant.

And this flowering plant contains very high concentrations of polyphenolic acids.

Polyphenolic acid, are nutrients that contain very high antioxidant capabilities, and allows the antioxidants to destroy reactive oxygen species.

Researchers aimed to see if using Coffeeberry® could raise total antioxidants levels and improve performance in athletes.

The researchers recruited 20 college athletes and administered either a placebo or 400 mg of Coffeeberry®, taken twice daily for 28 days.

The Coffeeberry® group showed that the participant’s total antioxidant levels increased significantly from beginning to the end of the study.

Also, they noted, that total antioxidant levels were higher compared to pre-supplementation.

Additionally, the heart rate recovery, a measure of how quickly the heart rate drops after exercise, increased significantly in the coffeeberry group.

This means that their heart rate dropped quicker than the control group.

Heart rate recovery is an important measurement of your hearts strength.

After you finish exercising, your heart rate should decrease over time back to resting levels (roughly 30 minutes).

If your heart rate does not decrease, it could mean that your heart is deconditioned, or possibly an even bigger problem exists.

In fact, if your heart rate does not drop by 12 beats per minute in the first minute after stopping exercise, this can potentially increase your risk of death.

The researchers noted that the Coffeeberry® group, also showed a significant decrease in blood lactate levels.

Decreased blood lactate levels, could lessen muscle soreness/muscle discomfort associated with performing strenuous exercise.

The Best Part Of The Coffee Plant

Coffeeberry® is quickly becoming a powerful fighter against damage caused by reactive oxygen species.

And this is due to the high antioxidant concentration found in Coffeeberry®.

Supplementing with Coffeeberry® appears to enhance exercise recovery (by reducing damage associated with reactive oxygen species), reduced blood lactate levels, and increasing recovery heart rate.

This can pose significant benefits to athletes, and the general fitness enthusiast who is looking to improve in their performance.

Coffeeberry® exhibits the ability to speed up recovery time and reduce inflammation associated with intense training.

And this can enhance skill development, strength and improved performance or overall fitness levels.
