The DSO National Laboratories is researching a caffeine-based drug aimed at keeping soldiers alert on the battlefield.
Scientists at the DSO National Laboratories will spend three years studying the coffee-drinking habits of Asians. The goal is to develop a caffeine medication that helps soldiers maintain alertness during combat.
The DSO National Laboratories is a military research organization based in Singapore. DSO reports that their project will be a breakthrough in the formulation of caffeine tablets.
This medication will contain caffeine equivalent to half a cup to two cups of coffee, making it suitable for individuals with varying caffeine tolerances.
Caffeine is abundant in coffee, with a single cup containing between 65-175 mg of caffeine. The chemical name for caffeine is 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine.
