Paraxanthine is a metabolite of caffeine, when caffeine is ingested enzymes in the liver act upon it and paraxanthine is produced.
It is being touted as "the next big thing" as it has similar benefits to caffeine but less side effects. It has GRAS status in the USA, but would definitely be Novel in the UK and EU as it is synthetically produced.
No doubt someone will apply for Novel Food approval, at the point it is approved, this page will be updated.
