Austin, TX (October 7, 2014) – We’re a nation of fatigued folks. That’s the consensus, based on a new poll of consumers conducted by Applied Food Sciences (AFS), the makers of PurCaf®, a 90% pure organic caffeine extracted from unroasted coffee beans. The survey demonstrates that heavy fatigue from the stresses of life is resulting in a lack of focus to get through our hectic days. We are also consumers who are eager to try products that contain antioxidants that are, Non-GMO, organic certified and are made using natural ingredients rather than harsh chemicals or synthetic caffeine.

 

Jackson Zapp, AFS’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said, “There is no doubt about it, we are all stressed out, fatigued and that leads to less focus and less productivity, and generally more frustration as we have more to do but get less done. Fortunately, at AFS we have a solution – an ethically farmed, naturally sourced, botanical, green coffee-derived caffeine that is Non-GMO and certified organic.

 

“Importantly, our PurCaf process does not use harsh chemicals in the extraction, so it’s an alternative to synthetic caffeine, which nearly 80% of consumers in our survey told us they would like to avoid.

 

“Consumers are searching for information about botanically sourced, sustained energy products. It’s great to see PurCaf and other solutions that AFS offers being formulated in great products hitting the marketplace now,” he added.

 

Highlights of the study include: 

 

 

The national poll was conducted by Survata via online interviews of 400 U.S. adults. The margin of error for this survey is 4.9%, with a 95% confidence interval.
