days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine has also been found to <strong>enhance your resting metabolic rate by up to&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/2912010\/\" target=\"_blank\">3-11%<\/a><\/strong>, which is good for those who want to lose a few inches, although where AMP is concerned, you may end up gaining more than you lose (but more on that later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine is not recommended for everyone though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children under the age of 18 should stay away from caffeine and even full-grown adults should not consume more than 400mg a day if they want to avoid the crippling side effects of caffeine overdose such as headaches and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, one can of AMP is still well within the safety limit as <strong>the daily intake of caffeine recommended by the FDA for adults is&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"
