Frequently Asked Questions
How does Vari track caffeine?
When you log a caffeinated beverage, Vari automatically calculates the caffeine content based on the beverage type and serving size.
What is the recommended daily caffeine limit?
For most adults, 400mg per day is considered safe. Vari alerts you when approaching this limit and warns about exceeding it.
Does caffeine dehydrate you?
Moderate caffeine intake is mildly diuretic but still provides net hydration. Vari accounts for this with adjusted hydration efficiency ratings for caffeinated beverages.
When should I stop drinking caffeine?
Vari recommends stopping caffeine 6-8 hours before bedtime and sends alerts for late-day caffeinated drinks.
Can I set a custom caffeine limit?
Yes. You can adjust your daily caffeine limit based on personal sensitivity or medical guidance.
