Recommended Caffeine intake (Part 5 of 5)

The FDA advises avoiding consuming more than 400 mg of caffeine per day or approximately four to five cups of coffee for the majority of people.

For children or teenagers, there are currently no federal recommendations on caffeine use. In general, experts advise against caffeine consumption for children between the ages of 12 and 18.

Pregnant women are advised to keep their daily caffeine intake under 200 mg. Any extra caffeine has the potential to harm the growing fetus and complicate the pregnancy.
