When caffeine enters the body, the liver releases enzymes to metabolize it before releasing it into the bloodstream. This can temporarily impair the liver's blood sugar uptake and release functions.
Caffeine is metabolized in the liver, and has a half-life of four to five hours, which is the amount of time it takes for your liver to flush out half of the caffeine you've consumed. Certain conditions, such as liver disease and pregnancy, can increase the time it takes the liver to clear the caffeine from your body.
