What is enfinity® (paraxanthine)

Enfinity® is the branded ingredient known scientifically as paraxanthine. Paraxanthine is a downstream metabolite of caffeine.

When caffeine is ingested, it’s converted into three metabolites: theophylline, theobromine, and paraxanthine. Of these three metabolites, approximately 80% is converted into paraxanthine.

Enfinity® (paraxanthine) is unique because it is the most experiential, least toxic metabolite and the safest for most of the population.

The Power of enfinity® (paraxanthine) and Why is it considered a potential caffeine replacement?

Enfinity® offers a more consistent experience compared to traditional caffeine, resulting in fewer side effects, heightened enjoyability, improved mood, and enhanced focus. Shawn Wells, MPH, RD, LDN, CISSN, FISSN, Partner at Enfinity Energy, emphasizes the unique attributes of enfinity®, stating, “Today’s consumers seek functional, better-for-you products that provide focus, energy, and stress relief.”

Wells explains that enfinity®, which is the caffeine metabolite paraxanthine, caffeine’s efficacious compound, bypasses the side-effect-laden intermediaries and delivers sustained energy without jitters, anxiety, crashes, or sleep disturbances. Enfinity® is also less bitter than caffeine and more straightforward to formulate.

Enfinity® boasts 23 filed patents, four human clinical studies, and a robust body of preclinical work. Wells emphasizes that enfinity®’s safety, cleanliness, and consistency make it a game-changer for a broader audience, not just those who metabolize caffeine well.

Studies highlight various benefits, including enhanced energy, focus, wakeful clarity, improved mood, neuroprotective cognitive acceleration, better reaction time, reduced mental errors, increased caloric expenditure, and thermogenesis. Enfinity® provides a more predictable experience, eliminating caffeine’s genetic variability and reducing crashes and anxiety.

“The applications for enfinity® are unlimited. With efficacious dosing anywhere between 100mg to 300mg, it can be used in gummies, RTDs, energy drinks, fat burners, nootropics and pre-workout powders. Basically, everywhere you find caffeine, you can upgrade the experience and performance with enfinity®.” Wells shares.
