Description

Caffeine is an organic chemical compound that belongs to the purine alkaloids and occurs naturally in coffee beans and many other plants. It can be obtained not only by extraction from plant seeds, but also synthetically – by chemical synthesis of urea, which is then combined with either methyl chloride or ethyl acetate. Synthetically produced caffeine has a much higher concentration and is absorbed more quickly by the body.
