Caffeine（Cat No.:R009245）is a naturally occurring stimulant classified as a methylxanthine alkaloid, commonly found in coffee, tea, cocoa, and various energy products. It acts primarily as an adenosine receptor antagonist in the central nervous system, temporarily reducing drowsiness and restoring alertness. Caffeine is also known to enhance cognitive performance, increase metabolic rate, and improve physical endurance. It is widely used in both over-the-counter and prescription medications for headache relief, weight loss, and respiratory stimulation. Typically appearing as a white, bitter-tasting powder, caffeine is soluble in water and organic solvents.
