When it comes to stimulants, caffeine is one of the most widely discussed. There’s a lot to love about caffeine: we know that it can increase mental clarity and focus, enhance performance, increase alertness, and even help you to burn fat.
All that considered, you can have too much of a good thing. Overdoing it on caffeine can lead to spikes in blood pressure, difficulty sleeping, headaches, nausea, nervousness, and irritability - in extreme doses, it can even be fatal.
So how much is too much?
The short answer is that it depends. Caffeine sensitivity can vary significantly between individuals. However, caffeine intake of up to 400 milligrams a day is generally considered safe for healthy adults by organisations like The European Food Safety Agency, the US National Academies of Science, and Health Canada.
What does 400mg of caffeine look like?
Caffeine can vary greatly depending on the type of product. Generally, a standard cup of coffee contains 70-160 milligrams, green tea has about 25 milligrams, and a can of Diet Coke has around 35 milligrams.
How much caffeine is in Clean Coffee?
Each handy sachet of Clean Coffee packs 120 milligrams of caffeine, which is comparable to a standard cup of coffee. We’ve based our dosage on providing enough caffeine to give benefits like enhanced performance and improved mental clarity and focus, without unpleasant side effects associated with large doses of caffeine. It’s enough that you’ll feel the effects after a single dose, but you can have multiple Clean Coffees without overdoing it.
Plus, we’ve bolstered our Columbian single-origin coffee with a host of natural ingredients to enhance the positive effects of caffeine, while neutralising some of the potential side effects. For example, we’ve added a revolutionary, sustainable herb called Bluenesse that’s been found to reduce cortisol, promote a sense of calm, quell anxiety and improve mood. Meanwhile, 500mg of rapidly absorbed MCTs will help to boost energy, fuel the brain and increase your metabolic rate.
At just 13 calories and with no added sugar, Clean Coffee is ideal for coffee lovers who follow a keto or low carb diet. Plus, with 60 serves in each box, you can enjoy two Clean Coffees a day with more benefits and less cost than your monthly coffee shop habit - and feel safe knowing that you’re in control of your caffeine dosage.
