How long until caffiene is absorbed (from drinking a Nescafe)


Pretty much just like the title says, ive done numerous searches on google and msnsearch.com and can't find anything that says how long until the caffiene is entered into the bloodstream and in effect.

Anybody have any ideas on how long?? 5mins? 10mins? 15mins? just would like to know, becuase i am a coffee drinker, not regular but i really like it when i workout, would just liketo know how long until it is absorbed into thebody.

Thanks fellas.

...


dunno but I rekon it would be sub 10 minutes ... I know when I drink coffee (I have now had maybe 4 cups in my entire life ... which may have something to do with it ) I feel it pretty damn quick.

I dislike caffine and it dislikes me so I could be fairly atypical.

drink a coffee or cola twenty minutes to a half-hour before exercising.

I usually have a cup of coffee in the morning and it hits me in less than 10 minutes.
