Caffeine pills it's a bit easy to unconciously take too much and get all jittery, and it's not really spread out enough.
Optimal consumption of caffeine seems to be a decent-sized initial intake, then smaller doses over time to maintain (eg take a few more sips). There's no good way to do that with pills.
- bumby 3y agoHow confident are you in the dosage in each cup of coffee?
- kadoban 3y agoFairly confident, within 2x or so. But it barely matters, it's not like I'd inject the whole cup into my veins and then see what happens. If the caffeine was too high (within reasonable variations), you'd notice and slow down consumption before it mattered. If it's too low, you can just drink more. You can do it by feel, which is I think what just about everyone does. Some of it might be placebo, but if so I'm not sure it changes anything really, since the goal is just to feel a certain way anyway.
