    Caffeine and androgen receptors

    I have read somewhere or heard that caffeine and/or stimulants can have a negative effect on androgen receptors. Of course small amounts like a cup of coffee do not, but large amounts (some preworkouts and/or multiple scoops) can eventually effect them. Now I am not sure of the dose or length of time.

    Has anyone ever heard this? I think it has something to do with the stress or that caffeine is a stresser??

    Some many things enter and leave my brain lately that it is entirely possible that ive made this up. Anyone?

    Quite the opposite. Caffeine can actually increase androgen receptor expression.

    Don't believe every thing you read, unless it's on the web, where everythings true.
