I got pills that have caffeine in them and the packaging says to take two a day. Each pill is equivalent to two cups of coffee. Is that healthy?

Caffeine is not good for you.
Well, the equivalent of four cups of coffee wouldnt be ‘healthy’, but it also wouldnt be too harmful.

Well, when you’re pregnant, your doctor tells you that 1 cup of coffee is safe per day, so I’m sure 2 cups is healthy if you’re not pregnant.
seroisly coffee is like a legal drug it stimulates the body to do more than it could resist and it bad fopr the teeth just drink milk or juice say no to coffe from everyone or get like tea but i am telling u coffee is real bad and STAY AWA FROM THOSE PILLS
no caffeine is good for you.
two cups of coffee a day isn’t healthy.
And 4 cups is surely a big NO!
I found this in Wikipedia:
An acute overdose of caffeine, usually in excess of 400 milligrams (more than 3–4 cups of brewed coffee), can result in a state of central nervous system overstimulation called caffeine intoxication. Some people seeking caffeine intoxication resort to insufflation (snorting) of caffeine powder, usually finely crushed caffeine tablets. This induces a faster and more intense reaction. The symptoms of caffeine intoxication may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation.

Coffee?
Here’s the thing. If you miss a day,
and it’s ironic.
Bufferin, Tylenol. whatever it takes.
A SIX.
It doesn’t happen to just me.

This question is like asking, “How much crystal-meth per day is healthy?” :\
Caffeine is a drug dear, natural or not, it’s still a drug. It is not vitamins or minerals.
You shouldn’t be consuming caffeine at all. It’s a drug.
Taking two caffeine pills a day won’t hurt you, but it probably isn’t good for you iether. You are consuming the equivalent of two cups of coffee. What are you going to do when you body builds up a tolerance to 2 pills per day, you gonna take 4, then 6, then 8 or 10 per day until you eventually O.D. on da shlt? :\ :\
It’s not bad for you, but you can improve your health by choosing exercise and a healthy diet over caffeine. Only use caffeine when you really need it.
for an adult you are supposed to not have more than 300mg a day (says my doc) so see how many mg are in the pills and that should give you a good answer, just keep in mind that all soda, coffee, chocolate etc has caffiene in them too so add that into your calculation with the pills!!
