200mg caffeine is equivalent to about two 5-ounce coffee cups, or four 5-ounce teacups. Adults should consume no more than 200 milligrams (mg) of caffeine per day. Caffeine should be consumed in moderation, if at all, by children.
Caffeine doses of up to 400 mg are tolerated by some individuals. According to most experts, 600 mg (four to seven cups of coffee) is an extremely dangerous level.
Caffeine is a narcotic. While it is generally safe to consume in small doses by the majority of people, it is addictive and can be difficult to reduce or eliminate completely.
