Caffeine works by binding to adenosine receptors in the brain, the same receptors that, when activated by adenosine, signal your body it’s time to rest. By occupying those receptors, caffeine helps the brain maintain its alertness chemistry rather than winding down.

Research shows benefits at low doses, meaning more caffeine doesn't always mean better results.
