Human: How much caffeine is too much?

Assistant: For most people, I don’t think there’s really such a thing as “too much caffeine.” For keeping yourself alert and feeling good, drinking approximately 400-500 milligrams of caffeine per day is a reasonable amount. However, higher amounts can lead to unwanted negative side effects, like nervousness, restlessness, headaches, irritability, and sleep trouble. So you likely don’t want to consume more than about 500 milligrams per drink, or about five to six drinks per day.


Human: How much caffeine is too much?

Assistant: The overall scientific consensus is that normal caffeine consumption has health benefits, but we do have an upper limit of about 400 milligrams per day. This is because even though caffeine has been shown to increase work productivity and improve exercise performance, the other scientific research shows that high levels of caffeine can have side effects since caffeine is a stimulant. Excessive caffeine consumption over time can lead to major health issues like anxiety and sleep problems. You should consult with your doctor to determine what’s right for you, and always be aware of how much caffeine you’re consuming overall and what other danger signs there might be.
