caffeine

[anthrax]

I have read ( don't remeber where) than caffeine from coffee has less "effect" (in affecting the metabolism) than caffeine from pills - at the same dosage

it is the same alkaloid, so why a difference ?

I have read the opposite: that coffee as a supplement can increase athletic performance but that the pills do not have an effect. The author hypothesized that there must be other compounds in coffee which cause the effects and/or are synergistic with caffeine.

Anthrax--why must we always butt heads on caffeine? I think it's good though, we are learning a lot.

would the heat from the coffee have any effect?

I heard the US cycling team was caught with 3 gram caffeine pills. That was one dose...

caffeine doesnt do a shit for me personally
I can drink 2 big cups of coffee before bedtime and I still can sleep like a baby
