Caffeine is a pretty common ingredient in any pre-workout, and you can get 200mg pills online cheaply.

Not that odd if you consider science writing should appeal to as many as possible. The study itself used these workout pills you mention which were made from green coffee beans:

It's also relevantly the "C" in the ECA stack (ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin), which is a well-known supplement mix for bodybuilding - one specifically intended for fat burn.
