***Caffeine Can Restore Insulin Sensitivity***
We all know the traditional benefits of caffeine as a stimulant (which many take pre workout as a means to increase energy), but the benefits of caffeine go FAR beyond just a stimulant. Looking through the research, we've seen caffeine (in certain situations) to aid in:
-boosting memory
-replenishing muscle glycogen concentrations faster post workout
-restoring insulin sensitivity (effects of caffeine on the expression of GLUT4 and insulin receptor expression/phosphorylation within visceral fat)
-prevention of fatty tissue accumulation
…and as an all around INTERESTING ergogenic aid!
A lot of the beneficial effects are obviously dose and person dependent (depending on how well/poor you metabolize caffeine itself) BUT it is a fairly universal ingredient consumed by many whether in supplemental or food form.
