Also known as: ZumXR DR caffeine, delayed-release caffeine, enteric-coated caffeine

B
Evidence

ZumXR Delayed Release is a proprietary delayed-release caffeine formulation engineered to begin absorption after a set period, providing timed mental stimulation without an immediate jolt. It is useful for customizing caffeine timing throughout the day.

Primary uses

  • Timed mental alertness
  • Afternoon energy boost (without morning jolt)
  • Customizable caffeine timing
  • Sustained focus with controlled onset

How it works

  • Delayed-release matrix technology (likely enteric-coated or pH-sensitive)
  • Caffeine absorption begins after gastric passage
  • Adenosine receptor antagonism at specified time

Dosage

Typical range
100-300 mg daily
Timing
Morning (takes effect 1-2 hours post-ingestion) or early afternoon for afternoon boost
With food
Typically taken with food for reliable delayed-release activation
Duration
Effects begin 1-2 hours after ingestion; sustained for 5-7 hours
Special populations
Avoid in evening; limit total daily caffeine to <400 mg

Safety

Common side effects

  • Delayed-onset jitteriness (minimal at onset)
  • Sleep disruption if taken late in day
  • Mild nervousness

Contraindications

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Severe anxiety
  • Pregnancy and lactation
  • Caffeine sensitivity
  • Severe GI conditions affecting absorption timing

Evidence notes

Delayed-release caffeine formulations are established; however, ZumXR-specific clinical data is limited. General delayed-release technology is well-documented for nutrient delivery.

Grade B: Some human trials support key claims; further confirmation needed.
