How much caffeine per day is recommended?

Answer 1

None. Your body gets enough energy from the food you eat, if you eat the right foods.

According to Health Canada's website, the daily maximum safe intake of caffeine varies widely. However, they recommend the following guidelines: General Population, healthy adults: <400 mg per day Women of child-bearing age: <300 mg per day Children: no more than 2.5 mg per kilogram of weight, on average: 10-12 years of age: <85 mg 7-9 years of age: <62.5 4-6 years of age: <45 mg.

Answer 2

There is no RDA of caffeine- it's not essential like a required vitamin or mineral. A cup of coffee can have anywhere from 80-200 mg, depending on the strength of the brew and size of the cup. A cup of tea has around 30-50mg.

Answer 3

The danger of having caffeine every day is that your body may become dependent on caffeine. The real trouble comes into play when you do not take in any more caffeine. You can go through caffeine withdrawal which can cause headaches, fatigue and anxiety.

Answer 4

400 mg is said to be the maximum amount that should be consumed. However, there is no daily value established for caffeine. The body can get used to 400 mg fairly quickly within a few weeks without a problem. If this amount is consumed every day, the person will go through moderate withdrawl once they stop consuming caffeine. Serious withdrawl would be from about 1000 mg of caffeine per day. Either way, someone should be weaned off of caffeine; it should not be cut entirely.

Answer 5

Up to 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults.
