Really? So it’s just as toxic to drink something in one dose as it is to drink it in several doses throughout the day? Weird, I wonder why medicine is spaced out across the day so often?
I’m just not understanding why something would be equally toxic if you took it all at once compared to taking a little bit at different times of the day. That really doesn’t make sense when it comes to basic chemistry.
Because if you took less at a time your body will have already processed some of the previous dose before you take the next does. You shouldn’t eat 5 pounds of black liquorice in one sitting because it’s toxic in that amount, but you can safely have that amount spread out over time.
Imagine taking 6 ibuprofen all at once instead of taking 1 or 2 every few hours. That would absolutely not be a good idea.
Everything on earth that can be consumed has a dosage that is too high to safely take all at once, even water. You’re not just pouring this stuff into an isolated beaker.
Well for instance protein doesn’t matter for anything but an elite trainer, whether it is consumed in one portion or in many, or when throughout the day.
Carbohydrates do have a localized effect but the amount is definitely blown up for selling health fads.
As for me, I’m on some medications you take all at once and some taken throughout the day because the body processes them differently. Someone on insulin and someone with ADHD take their medicine quite differently, as an easy example.
I genuinely don’t know with caffeine and am curious.
That’s… Not how human body processes things.
My mistake for assuming this was a real conversation between interested people.

Many reasons! Sometimes to achieve stable levels, sometimes due to interactions with cellular processes.
Do you want to go into that? I can share what I know. You don’t seem to be engaging in good faith tho :/

That was my point.
I may have responded to the wrong person lol woops.
