how much caffeine is in your coffee?
Coffee dosages in typical coffee drinks.
Athlete or not, coffee is one of the most commonly ingested drinks in the world. Many of Star Physio’s staff and clients take their coffee pretty seriously either for taste, performance or fashion!
Many people do not know how much coffee they need for a “boost”, nor do they know how much caffeine is in their preferred drink.
