Discover the hidden power of your genes with the COFFEEGEN test!

The COFFEEGEN test, which we have put together together with our partner INTLAB, offers a groundbreaking way to find out how your body can optimally increase performance through caffeine. It is aimed at all those who want to improve their performance in a natural and efficient way - safely and precisely based on sound scientific findings and cost-effectively through a one-time test.

What is behind caffeine genetics?

Caffeine is known to increase performance, but its effects depend on how our body metabolizes it. Our genes play a crucial role in determining how efficiently our body processes caffeine.

How does the test work?

The home test is convenient and easy to perform from home. The test is based on taking a saliva sample yourself. We have included a user-friendly swab with which you can take a sample from your mouth. As soon as you have sent the sample back, the experts at Caffeine Genetics ( INTLAB) decode your genetic information in the laboratory. This will determine precisely which caffeine metabolism type you belong to. You will then receive the results in the DoctorBox app.

You will then receive a detailed report with relevant information tailored specifically to you. This report contains precise recommendations on how to take caffeine to maximize its potential in all situations where you need to perform at your best.

The COFFEEGEN test reveals, among other things:

Your personal caffeine metabolism type
Ways you can influence and increase your performance with caffeine
Recommendations for action to optimize your performance (with possible increases of up to +7%) or even avoid caffeine-related performance losses (up to -14%)
The ideal times for consuming caffeine – be it before training, competitions or mental challenges
Concrete information about what amount of caffeine at what time will support your maximum performance.

Discover the targeted use of caffeine for your personal peak performance – learn how to fully exploit the potential of your genes!

Häufige Fragen

How quickly will I receive my result?

You will receive your results within 14 days in the DoctorBox app.

What types of caffeine are there?

There are three types of caffeine:

Genotype CYP1A2 AA (Fast Caffeine Metabolizer)
Genotype CYP1A2 AC (Reduced Caffeine Metabolizer)
CYP1A2 CC (Slow Caffeine Metabolizer)

With the COFFEEGEN test you can find out which type you belong to and what that means for you in terms of your caffeine consumption.

Who is allowed to carry out the test?

In principle, any adult can take the COFFEEGEN test. The only exception is minors under 18 years of age, as genetic testing on minors is not permitted by law. People who are unsure or those with relevant and serious illnesses are advised to consult their doctor regarding caffeine consumption.

How does caffeine work?

Within 30 minutes of ingestion, caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is distributed throughout the body. It can be detected in the blood plasma after just 15 minutes and reaches its maximum concentration after about 60 minutes, although the performance-enhancing effect can last for several hours. Caffeine also crosses the complex blood-brain barrier almost unhindered and thus acts on the central nervous system via the brain.

What effects does caffeine have on us?

higher mental performance and attention increased alertness, faster reaction time reduces signs of fatigue the muscles are activated contributes to increased endurance performance accelerates heart activity, pulse and breathing facilitates the learning process But only if our body processes the caffeine correctly.

What influence do our genes have on the metabolism of caffeine?

95 percent of the metabolism takes place through the enzyme CYP1A2. In the DNA, this enzyme is encoded by the gene of the same name – and this is exactly where differences between people become apparent.

Only people of the CYP1A2 AA genotype (Fast Caffeine Metabolizer) can increase their performance through the standard dosage and intake recommendation.

People with the genotype CYP1A2 AC (Reduced Caffeine Metabolizer) and CYP1A2 CC (Slow Caffeine Metabolizer) must deviate from the standard recommendation in order to achieve an increase in performance or even prevent a drop in performance.

What exactly is tested in the COFFEEGEN test?

The COFFEEGEN test examines a specific site (rs762551) on the CYP1A2 gene. CYP1A2 is responsible for 95% of caffeine metabolism.

The different genotypes of the CYP1A2 gene determine the caffeine metabolism type. The COFFEEGEN test tells you, among other things:

What gene-based caffeine metabolism type do you have?
Can you influence or improve your performance with caffeine?
What do you need to do to optimize your performance (max.: +7%) or avoid a caffeine-related drop in performance (up to -14%)?

Specifically: with what amount of caffeine and at what time do you reach your optimum?

Who is the COFFEEGEN test interesting for?

COFFEEGEN is suitable for anyone who wants to increase their performance "on point" in a natural way - and therefore clearly distanced from doping, drugs and other illegal options - in line with their needs. Our customer spectrum therefore ranges from competitive and amateur athletes, top managers to students, (great) grandparents to mothers and fathers as well as simply connoisseurs who celebrate caffeine as a passionate ritual. They all have one thing in common: they are interested in finding out how caffeine affects their metabolism and whether and how it triggers a desired performance-enhancing effect or a performance-reducing effect that should be avoided.

How does the test work?

After your order, we will send you a package with your personal test kit.

You can take a sample of mucous membrane yourself using a simple cheek swab. It's quick and uncomplicated. Simply put the swab in the enclosed tube and send the return envelope to our laboratory. The laboratory will examine your CYP1A2 gene and within the next 2 weeks you will receive your individual report with your results in the DoctorBox.

Do I have to take the test several times?

No. The results of the COFFEEGEN test are always valid, the genetic caffeine metabolism type remains the same. However, the effect of caffeine on performance improvement is also influenced by other factors such as age, weight, height, method of intake and type of caffeine or smoking and can therefore change, but the genetic factors can be determined in just one test run.

What happens with my data?

The data is always treated in accordance with data protection regulations. Partners, such as the medical laboratory, do not receive any patient data, but only the saliva sample with an individual test ID, which makes complete anonymization possible and thus ensures maximum data protection.
