When caffeine enters the body, the liver releases enzymes to metabolize it before releasing it into the bloodstream. This can temporarily impair the liver's blood sugar uptake and release functions.
In healthy adults, the half-life of caffeine is 4.9 hours. In pregnant women, the half- life is 9-11 hours. In infants as well as young kids, the half-life of caffeine is longer than the adults, about 30 hours.
