Did you know around three-quarters of Aussies drink at least one cup of coffee a day?
Cutting back on caffeine is a sentiment many of us coffee lovers like to straight up ignore. In fact, this opinion on coffee pretty much deserves the response of the viral “OK boomer” meme.
There’s much to argue for this case; caffeine is capable of doing so many great things to us. It can make us feel the best version of ourselves, increase dopamine and metabolism, and most definitely help us be more alert and productive throughout the day.
But on the other hand, I can bet your bottom dollar we’ve all experienced at least one or more of the post-caffeine jitters, anxiety, and body effects.
As bean juice worshipers, it’s our duty to find out how coffee works and its effects on the body, plus introduce you to our game-changing creation that helps prevent those jitters.
Why do I get coffee jitters?
You know those shakes and anxiety that tend to come on within the first hour of your caffeine fix? Yeah, that’s the “coffee shakes”, or otherwise, triggering the release of adrenaline, the “fight-or-flight” hormone associated with increased energy.
Coffee contains caffeine, a natural stimulant that blocks adenosine receptors in your brain, leading to increased alertness and energy and, unfortunately, can affect your sleep (which no one wants!).
Knocking back extremely high amounts of more than 1,000 mg a day can really leave you feeling all jittery and on edge, especially if you're sensitive to caffeine.
Even a regular dose can get your heart racing and stress levels up in one go. Studies show that 300 mg of caffeine can double your stress levels due to increasing the level of cortisol in the body.
That’s not all, too much caffeine can also lead to some other not-so-great things like:
- Elevated Heart Rate: It stimulates your heart, potentially causing palpitations or a noticeable rise in heart rate.
- Overstimulation: Blocking adenosine can lead to excessive nervous system stimulation, resulting in jitters or shakiness.
So, what’s the go with regular coffee?
Reaching for a coffee after a long day at work or when you have a long list of things to do always seems like a good energy boost. That’s until you hit the caffeine crash.
The issue? You might find yourself feeling even more fatigued and cranky than before. This could turn into a decrease in focus, mental fog, headaches, and difficulty thinking clearly.
This is because coffee provides a quick boost of energy, but this rapid release of caffeine can lead to a sudden peak followed by a crash. This cycle can leave you feeling tired, anxious, and craving another cup.
After chugging a coffee, you might hit that caffeine crash anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours later.
Thankfully, at Flowstate, we've delved into toxin-free brews and natural energy boosters to share our years of research and top tips with you today, including our Flowstate difference designed for a more balanced and sustained energy release. So that you can consume caffeine without ending up with those dreaded energy crashes.
The Flowstate difference
Unlike your regular cuppa, Flowstate coffee offers a unique and sustained energy boost without the typical highs and crashes.
A key ingredient in Flowstate coffee is L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea leaves. This powerful compound works synergistically with caffeine to provide a smooth, focused energy without the jittery side effects often associated with regular coffee. L-Theanine helps to counteract the increase in heart rate and blood pressure that caffeine can cause, promoting a sense of calm alertness. Studies have shown that this combination not only reduces anxiety but also improves cognitive performance, making it easier to concentrate and think clearly.
With ingredients like Alpha-GPC, Siberian Ginseng, and Ginkgo Biloba, Flowstate enhances focus and mental clarity while keeping your energised. Our Colombian Arabica beans are blended with nature's superfoods and brain-boosting nootropics to optimise your cognitive function, energy levels, and productivity.
So, whether you need a mental boost before a meeting, workout, or busy day, Flowstate is your go-to coffee companion.
Switching to Flowstate isn't just about opting for a healthier coffee; it's an investment in a happier and more productive day.
