I’m wondering about something a bit beyond the simple “what’s the maximum dose not to exceed?”. We all know that caffeine, consumed wisely, has a very favorable benefit/risk ratio: improved focus, energy boost, better athletic performance, and even some suggested long- term health benefits from studies.
So my question is: for a healthy adult male, what would be the ideal quantity of caffeine in milligrams (mg) per day to maximize benefits (focus, energy, well-being) while minimizing downsides (anxiety, poor sleep, jitters)?
I’m not looking for the dose to pull an all-nighter or break a record, but really the “cruising” dose for optimal daily health and productivity.
Yeah I took into account a 5h half life, I’m a tall guy hahaWell I did, but messed up something else. It’s more like a coffee every 2h or so for me
3mg/kg for me is about 350mg, so if I’ve not messed up the maths a 2nd time, I’d need to smash 4 coffees in the morning to get up to that level and then one every 2h30 to sustain
