In the liver the metabolism of caffeine take place to form 1-methylxanthine and 1-methyluric acid and the non-metabolized amount of caffeine which is only 1.5% discharge outside of our body through urine. In small children’s of 8-9 months 85% of the ingested caffeine discharge through urine to outside the body.

BLOOD PRESSURE AND CAFFEINE

The research has shown that caffeine can increase the blood pressure (in systolic (5–15mmHg) and/or diastolic (5–10 mmHg)   of caffeine habitual persons especially in elders hypertensive ones.
