Data coverage and detailed study classifications

Paper counts are separated by research topic below. One paper may contribute to multiple findings.

Analysis status: Public-ready

Ingredient analysis date:

How the grade was determined: B

The 64.2 evidence score includes 23 independent human studies and 23 clinical studies in the representative benefit area. The B tier reflects evidence directness, repetition, and consistency together.

The grade is based mainly on the research area with the most evidence. It does not mean the same result was found in other areas.

Papers linked to this ingredient overall: 67

Papers linked to this topic 1 · distinct papers 1 · comparison findings need further review · papers needing additional review 0

A publication may appear in more than one count. These numbers should not be added. Ingredient-wide papers, topic-linked papers, and sources in outcome groups use different scopes. Adding source counts may count the same paper more than once.

Reported improvements with combinations

Combination findings are grouped by how the study compared them. This is not a recommendation to combine ingredients.

Combinations with reported improvement

The combination showed improvement, but each ingredient's contribution is unclear.

비트루트 추출물In a randomized crossover trial of 20 healthy males, the combination of caffeine and beetroot juice significantly improved 1,000-m running performance compared to placebo (p < 0.01).
L-테아닌L-theanine combined with caffeine significantly reduced caffeine-induced tachycardia (17% vs 92%) and state anxiety compared to caffeine alone.
로디올라A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 48 male volleyball players found that combined Rhodiola rosea and caffeine supplementation significantly improved jump height, reduced power decline during high-frequency jumps, and lowered perceived exertion compared to placebo and single-agent groups.
