How Long Does Caffeine Stay In Your System?

How long does caffeine stay in your system?

It depends on several things which can include

• your age,

• your gender,

• your health,

• prescription medicines,

• diet, stress, or lifestyle habits,

• concurrent activities,

• and individual genetic variations.

Up to 99% of natural caffeine is absorbed within 45 minutes.

It passes through the blood brain barrier, placenta, and into breast milk, as well as all body tissues.

Then about 97% of it is metabolized by the liver into more than 25 different chemicals.

Caffeinated chemicals eliminated

Almost all of these chemicals are then eliminated from the body within 24 to 48 hours, but caffeine metabolism is faster if

• you are a smoker,

• you are exercising,

• with some medications,

and it is slower if

• you are pregnant,

• you are taking oral contraceptives,

• you have liver or kidney damage or diseases,

• with some medications.

Tea and coffee comparison

Both tea caffeine and coffee are metabolized into theophylline but through different pathways.

Approximately 90% of North American and European adults report daily consumption of caffeinated products, with approximately 54% of Americans averaging 3 cups of coffee daily.

Other countries (approximately 5 billion people) use daily green or black tea, which is much lower in caffeine than coffee.
