Caffeine supplementation has been used regularly to improve exercise performance. Here, xanthine effect was tested for ammonemia in cyclists who were put on a ketogenic diet and exercised longer.
A study in the Nutrition journal aimed at determining the relationship between caffeine intake and ketogenic (low-carbohydrate) exercise allows for a decrease in glycogen and ammonemia, which can impair body function The caffeine group showed a significant decrease (up to 25% ) in blood ammonia 60, 90, and 120 minutes after the start of exercise compared with the placebo group.
