Difference Between Caffeine Sensitivity, Allergy, and intolerance (Part 4 of 5)

All these terms are often used interchangeably but do not serve the same meaning.

• Caffeine sensitivity: The body's sensitivity to caffeine is regulated, in large part, by heredity.
• Caffeine allergy: A caffeine allergy is a remarkably uncommon immune response that can result in potentially serious symptoms including a rash, hives, or breathing difficulties. You can get a caffeine allergy test done by a doctor.
• Caffeine Intolerance: The body's reaction to caffeine over time is known as caffeine intolerance. When caffeine is regularly consumed, a tolerance ultimately forms as the desired effects fade.
