Q&A

Question: Does caffeine dehydrate you?

Answer: Although caffeine is a diuretic, studies have shown that regular but moderate caffeine intake does not dehydrate the body as was once thought. Only if caffeine is taken in large doses – equivalent to more than three cups of coffee – or infrequently is it likely to have a noticeable diuretic effect. You only need to consume it regularly to build up a tolerance to caffeine weakening its diuretic action.
