What does it do?

Anhydrous caffeine belongs to the class of central nervous system stimulants and is primarily used for the relief of headaches or migraines. This component is included in medications for the purpose of reducing fatigue and enhancing concentration.

Anhydrous caffeine maintains an alert state by blocking the action of adenosine, a substance that causes fatigue, in the brain. As a result, the transmission of pain signals is reduced, and feelings of fatigue are diminished.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know
