A lot of people don’t realize that caffeine is not the only substance that affects our body when we drink coffee.

There is also paraxanthine, which is a metabolite of caffeine that has a similar half-life and similar effects.

Paraxanthine can increase lipolysis, which means it breaks down fat and releases fatty acids into the bloodstream. It can also enhance alertness, mood, and cognitive performance.

So, even when the caffeine levels in your blood start to drop, the paraxanthine levels are still high and keep you stimulated. That’s why the effects of coffee can last much longer than you think.
