Sounds like you understood it correctly. I don't know if one would want to increase CoA in general so much as one would want to regulate it during periods when it would normally be surpressed. This seems like a much safer alternative than the thermogenics and diet pills people take for appetite suppressants, which normally contain large amounts of caffeine.
