i don't think there would be a chemical difference between synthetic & extracted caffeine. as near as i can tell "green coffee extract" is homeopath for the byproduct of water treated (possibly other methods) decaffination.

however the bioavailability stuff i can't verify, seems like we're doing our best to penetrate those cell walls with coffee/tea preparation, lol.

All I have is anecdote, but a 16oz monster doesn't get me any more wired than the ~18g of coffee beans in my morning cup. Caffeine estimates for my beans sits at about 144mg vs 140mg in a monster.

i've never really noticed any significant differences either. maybe bioavailability isn't the correct term for looking this up but i can't find any studies comparing ingestion methods vs. effects
