Have you ever noticed that your caffeinated pre-workout doesn’t work anymore? Or the one cup of coffee you drink every morning doesn’t give you the stimulation it once did? It’s all due to tolerance: as you consume more and more caffeine, your body adapts and requires more to elicit the same effects.
That’s why it’s a good idea to do a caffeine tolerance reset every so often.
Right now, we’re breaking down what you need to know about your caffeine tolerance, including how to do a “reset” that fixes it. We’ll also cover how long a caffeine tolerance reset takes and share our best tips on how to reset your caffeine tolerance with minimal withdrawal.
