Caffeine sensitivity and heredity

A whole host of personal traits are determined in part by your DNA. One of these is your sensitivity to caffeine. Does it take a particularly long time for coffee to ‘leave your system’ or are you someone who can drink a coffee at 10 o’ clock at night and still have no trouble getting to sleep? This can possibly be explained by your genetic predisposition.

Caffeine sensitivity and heredity

To date a number of genes have been proven to play a role in determining a person’s individual ability to process caffeine. On the basis of your DNA it is therefore possible to predict how sensitive to caffeine you will be.
