PurCaf® Caffeine from Green Coffee

Better energy products use natural caffeine from coffee.

The PurCaf® line of natural caffeines gives formulators three ways to harness the clean energy benefits of coffee. Start with highly potent 98% green coffee caffeine, or go further by adding more value through upcycled whole coffee fruit or standardized antioxidants. Across the line, PurCaf® combines the familiarity and consumer trust of coffee with rigorous standards for quality, safety, and supply-chain integrity.

A Source Consumers Already Understand

Coffee easily connects with consumers as it is one of the most widely recognized sources of caffeine in the world. This familiarity provides brands a trusted platform on which to tell a compelling narrative around premium energy. Instead of asking consumers to learn a new ingredient, PurCaf® provides a reliable source of energy that formulates beautifully into modern beverages, performance supplements, and functional foods.

PurCaf® Series

Green Coffee Caffeine

98% Caffeine

PurCaf® is the highest standard of naturally derived caffeine on the market today. Start here for the clean-label, simple-to-use green coffee caffeine trusted by thousands of brands across sports nutrition, functional beverages, and performance supplements.

Green Coffee Extract

40% Caffeine / 45% Chlorogenic Acids

Coffee is widely known for both its energizing caffeine and healthy-promoting antioxidants, called Chlorogenic Acids. This dual-standardized green coffee extract delivers a better-for-you energy the way nature intended.

Whole Coffee Fruit Extract

80% Caffeine / 20% Upcycled Coffee Fruit

Surrounding every coffee bean is the rich skin and tart pulp of the coffee fruit, which often goes to waste. By using this upcycled fruit, brands can benefit from additional polyphenols and a more purposeful “whole coffee fruit” sustainability story.
