Caffeine and taurine: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of their individual and combined effects on physical capacity, cognitive function, and physiological markers
Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2025) · Meta analysis
Posterior estimates indicated that CAF+TAU was associated with a credible positive effect on anaerobic capacity (g = 0.46, 95% CrI [0.19, 0.71]) and reaction time (g = 0.75, 95% CrI [0.29, 1.18]) compared to CAF or TAU alone.
Rests on two meta-analyses that state the dose range they cover. One (PMID 29546641, 10 studies, single doses or up to 2 weeks of 1 to 6 g a day) found endurance improved (Hedges' g 0.40) and that the dose did not change the size of the effect. The other (PMID 40852891, 23 randomised trials of a single dose, 308 participants) found a small-to-moderate overall gain (g 0.25, I² 61%), no significant dose-response within 1 to 6 g, and rated the certainty low to very low. So the curve is flat from 1 g to 6 g. No minimum, optimal or ceiling dose is set, because neither abstract reports an effect or safety at a single dose within the range.
AI-estimated from published studies. Interpret as directional guidance.
