CHAPTER

Dosage of Caffeine

When I talk about dosage of caffeine, what I'm really talking about is the total amount of caffeine ingested in one sitting or setting. And if you're somebody who's drinking caffeine multiple times throughout the day, you could imagine,. for instance, let's say the appropriate dose for you in order to get an enhancement in mental performance or physical performance is 200 milligrams. You would ingest that at two separate times per day, separated by about four hours. If you're doing some work in the morning and you want to have that lift in the morning to be able to focus better...you are effectively ingesting approximately 400 milligrams of caffeine each hour.
