How Much Caffeine Are You Consuming?

Formula

The FDA recommends a maximum of 400mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults, equivalent to about 4 cups of brewed coffee.

Caffeine has a half-life of about 5 hours, meaning half the caffeine from your morning coffee is still in your system 5 hours later.

Common use cases:

  • Monitoring daily caffeine intake
  • Sleep quality improvement
  • Health and wellness tracking
