Most of us drink coffee because the caffeine in coffee gives us an energy lift. Caffeine is, however, not only found in coffee but also in tea, cocoa, cola, chocolate and energy drinks with guarana and mate. Therefore you must not only avoid coffee if you want to be caffeine free.

Many studies have been made on the effects of coffee on the organism, and in connection with fertility several of the studies show that if you consume more than 300 mg of caffeine daily (4-6 cups of coffee), you can wait for over a year before becoming pregnant.

In addition to caffeine, coffee also contains a considerable number of substances, several of which have an inhibitory effect on vitamin intake. For this reason alone we would recommend that you cut down on your coffee consumption as much as possible, since vitamins play an important role in optimising fertility.
