Is it ok to keep taking caffeine tablets?

[chocolatecoins1]

silly question I know!

is it ok to take caffeine tablets regularly, like proplus? Realistically they’re sold in Asda so I know can’t be too dangerous but someone I know takes them like sweeties and it’s only struck us that too much caffeine can be bad and that sometimes you hear horror stories of people having heart problems etc after taking them. Presumably that’s only after taking an extremely large amount? And otherwise taking them is equivalent to a strong cofffee or can of juice etc?

thanks!

Should have said- by ‘keep taking’ I didn’t mean they are addicted because they are not lol, I meant to take them fairly regularly as if it was a can of juice or coffee (the person taking them dislikes both) but presumably it’s not any worse than taking the equivalent dose of coffee in tablet form as it is in a cup of coffee or juice etc?

It’s like drinking 4/5 cups of coffee per day if they stick to the maximum 8 tablets per day.

Paracetamol is sold in Asda. It kills over 200 people a year in the UK.

This isn't a rational assumption.

If it's not affecting them they may very well have undiagnosed ADHD

Instructions say not to take more than 2 tablets in 3 hours though.

...which explains why I felt absolutely nothing with them. Except tired.
