According to the Mayo Clinic, healthy adults should be able to drink up to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day – equivalent to the amount found in four cups of brewed coffee. However, the FDA notes that people have different levels of tolerance and that certain conditions and medications can make people more sensitive to caffeine.
“It’s important to know if a product has caffeine, especially if you’re sensitive to it, limiting your intake, or giving the product to children or teens,” said the administration.
