Dosage: Commission E reports interactions (but talking more about carbonized coffee charcoal than instant or real coffee): absorption of other drugs (and minerals and vitamins) taken simultaneously might be reduced (AEH). Coffee has been implicated in loss of calcium and magnesium in bones, which bodes ominous for osteoporosis candidates. It can also inhibit or interfere with iron absorption and help elevate cholesterol (JLR1(8):4. 1995). Toxicologically harmless (up to 5 cups or 500 mg caffeine) for healthy adults habituated to coffee (but hypertensive in neophytes taking 250 g coffee (1.25 cups), increasing systolic blood pressure some 10 mm Hg). Gruenwald et al. cautions are not exactly the same echos I am used to. They advise caution for those with disposition to convulsions and certain psychic disorders (such as panic anxiety), nephrosis, sensitive cardiovascular system, and thyroid hyperfunction. Side effects attributed in part to chlorogenic acid may include diarrhea, hyperacidity, inappetence, and stomach irritation. Chronic consumption of >1500 mg/day can lead to diarrhea, dizziness, headache, inappetence, irritability, palpitations, restlessness, sleeplessness, and vomiting. Higher doses lead to arrhythmic spasms of different muscle groups, arrhythmic tachycardia, and opisthotonos. But not to worry! Fatal poisonings “are not conceivable.†They do reiterate the reported death of a child after ingesting 5300 mg caffeine. Ironically, that coffee charcoal that Commission E promotes for mussy mucosa might be the best antidote, along with sorbitol, for overdoses of caffeine. Nursing mothers may pass caffeine-induced insomnia to the nursing baby. Pregnant women should avoid caffeine, never exceeding 300 mg caffeine spread out over the day (PHR). LD50 caffeine = 5–10 g orl human (TRA). Extracts (Coffee) — Not exactly an extract, the carbonized charcoal is described as absorbent and astringent, like most charcoals. I hope that physicians will understand what is said in the Herbal PDR, speaking of caffeine and not the charcoal, “it also increases the psychomotor stamina†(PHR). Chlorogenic acid, like caffeine alone, can double gastric secretion (PHR). In hamsters, 20% green coffee bean in diet impedes DMBA-induced tumors.

Dosage: Class 2b, 2d (AHP). Commission E reports contraindications: gastric and duodenal ulcers; adverse effects: trouble sleeping, hyperexcitability, nervousness; interactions: effect enhanced by psychoanaleptic drugs and caffeinecontaining beverages (AEH). CNS stimulant, GI irritant. Contraindicated in high blood pressure, and gastric and duodenal ulcers. Not recommended for excessive or prolonged use (they seem to say this about most caffeine-containing plants) (AHP). CAN cautions that xanthine-containing beverages may cause anxiety, insomnia, palpitations, tremors, and withdrawal headaches. Because of the caffeine, consumption should be restricted in pregnancy and lactation, and in patients with hypertension and cardiac problems. “As with all xanthine containing beverages, excessive consumption by lactating mothers should be avoided†(CAN). Cola-containing beverages are said to “provide active doses of caffeine†(CAN). Caffeine has many reported activities, many perhaps shared synergistically with theophylline and theobromine.
