Can caffeine reduce cellulite?
Yes, it can. Caffeine affects on adipocytes (fat cells) and suppress intracellular fat accumulation. It also improves lipid metabolism in adipocytes.
Moreover, recent studies showed that caffeine may contribute conversion of white adipocytes (bad fat cells) into brown or beige adipocytes (good fat cells) which are able to consume fat and produce heat (calorigenic action).
So, caffeine is one of the best ingredients for anti-cellulite products.
