Very interesting, anecdotally coffee always had a different effect compared to tea, this seems to be one important difference. Do you have any pointers for further reading regarding the half-life in the brain?
- eurasiantiger 6y agoHere’s a review that might lead you there: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6520841/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6520841/
- dota_fanatic 6y agoThanks, that is a more general review than what I was able to find. I wasn't able to find anything agreeing with a half-life on the order of weeks, however. Is it possible you're mistaking the half-life of irreversible MAOI's (since it binds to the enzyme irreversibly, the half-life is essentially the lifetime of the enzyme, weeks) with reversible (minutes to hours), which seem to be the ones in coffee?
- eurasiantiger 6y agoNo; the study I remember looking at was about reversible MAOIs being stored in fatty tissues.
