Doctors have named a safe dose of coffee — up to 400 mg of caffeine per day.

      The American Heart Association confirms: for a healthy adult, up to 400 mg of caffeine per day is safe. But there are nuances

      How much coffee can you drink without harming your health

      Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. But where is the line between alertness and harm? Experts from the American Heart Association and the FDA have determined that for a healthy adult, the safe limit is up to 400 mg of caffeine per day. This is approximately 3–5 cups of black coffee or 5 servings of espresso.

      Individual characteristics

      However, it all depends on the body. The rate of caffeine elimination is determined by genetics, age, and liver condition. If after a cup you feel anxious, have a rapid heartbeat, or insomnia — it’s worth reducing the dose. It’s important to listen to your body.

      Who needs to be more cautious

      Pregnant women are advised not to exceed 200 mg per day, teenagers — up to 100 mg, and children under 12 should better avoid caffeine altogether. In cases of hypertension and anxiety disorders, a doctor's consultation is mandatory. And don’t forget: caffeine is found in tea, energy drinks, chocolate, and even some medications. Consider all sources to avoid exceeding the limit.
