Most coffee gives a quick alertness boost by blocking adenosine, but for athletes it can backfire. High caffeine from regular coffee overstimulates stress-regulating brain regions (prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hypothalamus), leading to anxiety, jitters, mood swings, and disrupted sleep — all of which hinder recovery and performance. It’s also acidic, can irritate the stomach, deplete magnesium and potassium, and act as a diuretic, increasing dehydration risk during training. Without added nutrients, it causes sharp energy spikes followed by crashes.
PunchCoffee solves this by using only natural, preservative-free beans infused with electrolytes and B vitamins to maintain hydration, support nerve and muscle function, and deliver steady, sustained energy — clean performance fuel without the crash.
