The coffee donuts don’t sound so bad now, huh?
Smaller Doses of Caffeine Better Than One Large Dose?
I am willing to bet the majority of readers of this blog ingest caffeine in some form or another each day so you might find this study interesting.
In the new study, the scientists instead tested the effects of administering an hourly, low dose of caffeine equivalent to about two ounces of coffee to one group, while the second group received a placebo. The caffeinated men performed better on cognitive tests than the control individuals did, and dozed off less often. And though they received the same cumulative dose as subjects in previous, single-dose studies, taking many small doses minimized some of the negative side effects that caffeine can have, such as tremors.
Now the question becomes how to get those lower doses more frequently. Caffeinated lip balm perhaps?
