$8.86

An OTC drug rather than a supplement, so the content is regulated rather than self-declared. Useful if you want the dose to be exactly what the box says.

What to look for

✓Anhydrous caffeine capsules for dose precision, or coffee (~95 mg per 240 mL cup); caffeinated gum absorbs faster and needs less lead time
✓3–6 mg/kg body mass; as little as 2 mg/kg is ergogenic for some, and 9 mg/kg adds side effects without adding performance
✓Third-party tested (USP, NSF, Informed Sport)

What to avoid

✕Proprietary blends that hide the dose per ingredient
✕Unstandardised extracts with no active-compound percentage

Safety flags

· Sleep disruption is the dominant documented cost: −45.3 min total sleep time, −7.0% sleep efficiency, −11.4 min deep sleep
· Anxiety, jitteriness, tachycardia and palpitations, strongly dose-dependent and modulated by ADORA2A genotype
· Acutely raises blood pressure and delays post-exercise heart rate and blood pressure recovery
