It has a quite high content of caffeine, and all symptoms described could be seen with excessive caffeine consumption. The product might not be safe for pregnant women, those with hypersensitivity to caffeine, heart disease and arrhythmias. I would advise him to attempt weight loss and developing lean muscle mass with exercise, healthy diet containing protein and good rest.
