Educational information on evidence, limitations and individualized decisions.
What does caffeine do?
It can improve performance in some forms of exercise and modestly increase short-term energy expenditure. Individual responses and tolerance vary.
Does cinnamon amplify thermogenesis?
There is no strong clinical evidence that adding cinnamon to coffee meaningfully increases thermogenesis or fat loss.
Who should be cautious?
Caffeine may worsen anxiety, palpitations, reflux or insomnia and is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used to compensate for inadequate sleep or nutrition.
