Drinking small amounts of caffeine is subhuman because you build up a tolerance

Why Your Coffee is Going to Waste
Optimal Caffeine Intake

We’re sipping on grande coffees and red bulls daily, a society running on caffeine. What most people miss about this volatile chemical is its chronically ignored nootropic properties. Caffeine offers numerous boosts to cognitive function and bodily energy, however, instead of using it to achieve our goals, we’re yawning by the time lunch break rolls around and then crashing after work in front of the television. Even if you’re one of those who use it sparingly you’ve likely fought the losing battle of building tolerance and being forced to up the dose.

Now, scientists have found the ideal way of using caffeine to boost cognitive performance – and keep it boosted. Using these findings we can formulate the ideal intake to keep things effective while avoiding upping the dose to harmful levels.

Caffeine functions by blocking the neuromodulator Adenosine. When you begin to get tired or drowsy, what you’re feeling is your body reacting to the ever-increasing Adenosine binding with receptors in your brain, causing tiredness and feeling drained[1]. Caffeine happens to be a dead-ringer for Adenosine, binding to the same receptors and preventing drowsiness from taking hold, leaving you alert and focused[2].

After daily use of the caffeine dosages found in your extra large cappuccino or energy drink the brain soon develops more adenosine receptors, giving adenosine more places to bind and mitigating caffeine’s effects[3]. Scientists have found the perfect balance of caffeine to prevent new receptors from forming while still stimulating your brain and giving you those performance-boosting effects.

When scientists studying various psychostimulants tested the effect of caffeine tolerance on the potency of other stimulants, they stumbled across the ideal dosage and frequency to maintain the effects of caffeine without building a tolerance[4]. Maintaining this dosage offers long-term increased alertness, metabolic rate and focus, giving you the edge. For the average adult male, this amount is 500-625 mg a day[5], but chugging that down first thing in the morning would be squandering untapped potential.

Every drug has a half-life, the duration of time after which it is only present in half its initial concentration in the body. For caffeine that interval is 5.7 hours[6]. 5.7 hours after hitting your bloodstream caffeine’s effectiveness is cut in half causing quickly diminishing effects of the boost in alertness, metabolism and focus you’ve been enjoying.

Instead, taking your daily amount in two doses, once at the start of your day and again six hours later offers a very potent way to keep your edge throughout the most productive and useful hours of your day. Those without issues sleeping after evening caffeine intake may instead choose to take their caffeine in 100 mg doses every 1.5-2 hours for a consistently elevated state.

For both of these scenarios I recommend taking caffeine in 100 mg or 250 mg tablets. This will allow you to track your intake with precision for the most effective use. It’s important to note that daily use over the 750mg mark leads to a “complete, insurmountable tolerance to the acute stimulatory effects of caffeine”[4] and is definitely what you want to avoid if you don’t wish to rejoin the “yawning-by-lunch-break” demographic.

Using the above guidelines allows you to reap the various benefits of caffeine throughout your day without crashing. They also facilitate long-term use without the worry of diminishing returns or unsafe levels of consumption. Those of you already ingesting over 750mg daily may need to take a break from caffeine to reset your tolerance and reap the benefits outlined above.
