CAFFEINE SENSITIVITY TEST

The caffeine sensitivity genetic test focuses on the CYP1A2 gene, which encodes an enzyme responsible for metabolizing caffeine in the liver. A specific variation in this gene, known as the rs762551 polymorphism, plays a key role in determining how quickly or slowly your body processes caffeine.

• Individuals with the A allele tend to metabolize caffeine faster, allowing them to enjoy caffeine with fewer adverse effects.
• Those with the C allele, however, metabolize caffeine more slowly, making them more sensitive to its stimulating effects and potentially more prone to issues like jitteriness, anxiety, or disrupted sleep.

Caffeine, commonly found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and other foods, is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world. It stimulates the central nervous system, providing benefits like increased energy, alertness, and focus. However, how much and how quickly you experience these effects is largely influenced by your unique genetic makeup.

This test provides valuable insights into your personal caffeine tolerance and can help guide decisions around your caffeine intake to optimize your well-being.
