Caffeine Statistics
Did You Know?
Caffeine only takes 15 to 20 minutes
to get into your blood and the caffeine effect lasts for
3 1/2 hours.
Sports nutritionists are studying
the positive effects of small amounts of caffeine on athletes.
A dose of five milligrams per kilogram
of body weight seems to improve endurance by reducing glucose
burning and increasing fat burning.
Caffeine spares glucose, which is
in limited supply in the body.
The International Olympic Committee
has banned the use of caffeine in their competitions.
The current recommendations regarding
caffeine are three cups of coffee or tea per day or less.
Caffeine is a common ingredient in
food so getting a big dose is easier than you might think.
