Is Maxwell House's Caffeine Content Safe?
The FDA currently suggest that healthy adults keep their daily caffeine consumption to about 400mg. While one cup of the Max Boost should be fine, we do suggest caution if you plan on drinking multiple cups, especially in a short time frame. The average healthy adult should have no issue with 1-2 cups a day.
HOW LONG DOES CAFFEINE STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM?
Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours, meaning that half of the amount you consumed will be out of your body within 6 hours. The other half will take another 4-6 hours to leave, so that means you'll need to wait 12 hours for complete clearance from your system. But this is just an average; some people may clear it more quickly than others due to individual factors such as age and genetics.
HOW DO WE KNOW THE CAFFEINE CONTENT?
Our staff uses several methods to find and compile caffeine content. We check the manufacturer or brands website, packaging, other published online resources including medical publications and if all else fails emailing the brand directly.
