The problem was never whether it works. The problem is <em>timing<\/em>. Coffee, tablets, gels and anhydrous caffeine are absorbed almost completely within 30\u201360 minutes, peak quickly and then decline. For a 60-minute workout that is fine. For a 3, 4 or 5-hour event, your caffeine peaks when you least need it and fades exactly when the race gets hard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SCN\u2122 Pre-Endurance Caffeine<\/strong> solves this with NewCaff\u2122 microcapsules: caffeine crystals sealed inside a food-grade lipid coating that dissolves progressively through the digestive tract. Instead of one sharp peak, you get a smooth, sustained release of caffeine into the bloodstream for up to <strong>4 hours (about 250 minutes)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"t\"><b>0\u201330 min<\/b><small>Gentle onset, no jolt<\/small><\/div>\n<div class=\"t\"><b>1 h<\/b><small>Steady working level<\/small><\/div>\n<div class=\"t\"><b>2 h<\/b><small>Still releasing<\/small><\/div>\n<div class=\"t\"><b>3 h<\/b><small>Stable, where others have faded<\/small><\/div>\n<div class=\"t\"><b>4 h<\/b><small>Gradual tail-off, no crash<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size:.85em;color:#6b5f57\">Illustrative release profile based on NewCaff\u2122-75 in vitro dissolution data (Health Canada DO-25 method).

Pure anhydrous caffeine is coated using a lipid hot-melt fluid-bed process, producing round microcapsules with an insulating lipid shell. In digestion, the shell breaks down gradually rather than all at once, so caffeine release is controlled and prolonged, giving an improved sustained-release profile compared to raw caffeine. The coating also neutralises caffeine&#8217;s bitterness, which is why the formula needs no sweeteners, flavours or masking agents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SCN\u2122 uses NewCaff\u2122-75<\/strong>, the higher-concentration grade (75% caffeine), delivering 225 mg of true caffeine from 300 mg of microcapsules per capsule.
