The Claim

Caffeine ingestion at a dose of 300 mg has no significant effect on core body temperature, skin temperature, mood, alertness, attention, or executive function in young, low-caffeine-consuming males during morning testing sessions.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

In young men who rarely consume caffeine, taking 300 mg of caffeine in the morning does not change their body temperature, mood, alertness, attention, or ability to make decisions.

See the scientific wording

Caffeine ingestion (300 mg) does not significantly affect core body temperature, skin temperature, mood, alertness, or other cognitive domains (attention, executive function) in young, low-caffeine males during morning testing, indicating its effects are specific to neuromuscular and verbal memory outcomes.

Why this might work

Caffeine blocks a natural brain chemical that slows down nerve activity, which makes the brain send stronger signals to muscles and improves the ability to remember words. This happens without changing body temperature, mood, or general thinking skills.

  1. Study: Effects of Caffeine Ingestion on Morning Cognitive and Muscle Strength Measures in Males: A Standardized Approach

    This study found that drinking a strong cup of coffee in the morning doesn’t make young men feel more alert, warmer, or think better overall—but it does help them lift heavier weights and remember words better. So the claim is right: caffeine only boosts muscle and memory, not mood or focus.
