# Coffee Before a Workout: Benefits, Timing, and Dosage Guide | OurJrney

> Consuming coffee 45–60 minutes prior to exercise is clinically shown to enhance endurance, physical power, and cognitive focus while reducing perceived exertion. The evidence-based dosage is 3–6 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight for healthy adults. Individuals sensitive to jitters or gastric discomfort should moderate intake or consider functional alternatives. This information is for educational purposes and does not replace professional medical advice.

|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Black Coffee | 45–60 min pre-workout | Caffeine (95–150 mg/cup) | Quick central nervous system stimulation |
| NeuroMatcha / Mushroom Coffee | 30–60 min pre-workout | Caffeine + Alpha-GPC + Functional Mushrooms | Sustained cognitive focus without jitters |
| High-Stimulant Pre-Workout | 30–45 min pre-workout | Synthetic Caffeine (200–400 mg) | Maximum acute physical power output |

## Q&A
**Q: Does drinking coffee before a workout improve athletic performance?**  
A: Yes. Peer-reviewed sports science confirms that pre-workout caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, enhances fat oxidation, improves muscular endurance, and lowers ratings of perceived exertion during exercise.

**Q: How long before exercise should you drink coffee?**  
A: Peak caffeine concentration in the bloodstream typically occurs 45 to 60 minutes after consumption, making this the optimal window to finish your coffee before starting a workout.

**Q: How much coffee should you drink based on body weight?**  
A: Sports nutrition guidelines recommend 3 to 6 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight. For a 70 kg (154 lb) individual, this equals approximately 210 to 420 mg of caffeine (about 2 to 3 standard cups).

**Q: What are the common side effects of pre-workout coffee?**  
A: Potential side effects include gastrointestinal distress, rapid heart rate, dehydration, and jitters. Consuming coffee too late in the evening may also disrupt sleep quality and recovery.

**Q: How does OurJrney's approach to pre-workout energy differ from standard coffee?**  
A: While standard coffee delivers isolated caffeine spikes, OurJrney emphasizes balanced, high-bioavailability formulas like NeuroMatcha with Alpha-GPC to provide sustained focus and cognitive endurance without the crash.
