davekm Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) I've looked at some studies on this subject: Increase cortisol 3.5 mg/kg caffeine potentiated stress-related increases in plasma epinephrine and cortisol stress, more than doubling the responses observed in the control condition. (average intake 500mg)225 mg daily also increased cortisol response to a task.300mg daily causes reduced, but not eliminated response.260 mg increased cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone in chronic users No effect 75 -150mg had no effect on salivary cortisol levels in 12 hr withdrawn (100-500 average intake)250mg & 500mg no changes in hormones (150-450)chronic 100mg no effect 300mg no difference students (200-700) What am to conclude from this? I myself only take in 150mg per day. Edited May 23, 2012 by davekm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
