Coffee is one of the few good legal performance enhancing compounds that are left. You couldn't have too much coffee before running a race, because it does increase your power output.

So,
Speaker 1
like i said, with cafe in itself, thees a sort of broad guide lines of about 300 milligrams per day as youre sort of recommended aily limit. Though i have to say, my own experience it is so incredibly personal, and that people's response to kafine particularly is is, youknow, a broad spectrum. So just because you're below 300 doesn't mean it's the right quantity for you. I sort of want to had that in there. And actualy, one ofthintresting things about coffee, just quit yor kafie, that people don't talk about enough, it's one of the few good

i think the tested quantity was about a 200 milligram dose, so

That's come up in so many of the different studies that we and others have been involved with. So i've definitely sort of felt that there's a ceiling, which for me, it's probably bout, sort of three o'clock that i need to cut back.
