Nutricost Caffeine Pills 100mg Per Serving, 250 Capsules

These pills are fantastic for the price. I did the math: for the same amount of caffeine you can get for ~$12 would otherwise cost you $715 worth of Red Bull (assuming each 8.4oz can is valued at $2.29). That is A LOT of money you can save. There's literally nothing I don't like about them! Compared to energy drinks or coffee, these pills are absurdly cheap. The pills are tiny and very easy to swallow with or without water. They are inoffensive to stomach. You won't be retching if you consume on an empty stomach. You can open the capsule and spread the caffeine into whatever you're drinking. You CAN snort the powder. I don't recommend it, as it includes rice flour. Works in a pinch, though. These things are awesome. I couldn't recommend them enough. Word of warning: don't underestimate them. They will wake you up and can give you jitters if you take too many. Please dose responsibly.

When I take breaks from energy drinks, I use these. Great value for money. Effective and convenient.

I started taking these because I wanted to stop caffeine. It has been a process to reduce caffeine in my life but these pills are awesome. Its a dose of 100 mg which is clean energy doesn't leave you feeling hungover later. You also skip the GI troubles that come from coffee and tea sometimes which was another bonus. The caffeine doesn't kick in as quickly so keep that in mind it takes about 20-30 minutes but its a great alternative and very easy to administer

These caffeine pills work well and give me a nice boost of energy without jitters. The only issue is that they make me urinate more often, similar to how regular coffee affects me. It’s not a deal-breaker (i did not know it), but it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, they’re effective and easy to take.

This supplement is very ideal for me because I do not have to fix a cup of coffee as long as I have these capsules. I can easily add one or two to my favorite flavor of real juice in the morning and get a great lift very quickly. I will advise at the same time the 200mg is a bit better option because of the increased potency of caffeine. Overall, the product is reliable, trustworthy and very effective because it delivers results. I am a lot more alert and I am thinking more clearly after each dose, so chances are very good I will continue using this product.

I usually prefer caffeine mints, and sometimes caffeine gum, both when I either don’t have time for coffee, or it’s too hot for non iced coffee. Also knowing that long times in traffic and knowing stopping for more coffee are always concerns. My favorite caffeine supplement is from another company and I don’t blame them specifically for the prices going up, as everything is up, and I’m sure there costs to manufacture are much higher lately. As much as I love that other product, I am not paying almost as much for a caffeine tablet as a cup of real coffee! Obviously making coffee, or espresso, at home beats stopping at the local coffee shop. Beats it financially, maybe not taste and options, but if I am going to blow $5 plus for a coffee (sadly what it costs here) I better enjoy it! Hot, or iced, non fat or low fat milk, and sugar free flavor. Anyway, when time is not going to allow frivolous coffee shop stops, these are probably the best value for caffeine supplements. The value is extremely competitive, the caffeine amount is perfect, as the 100 mg. size is very close (actually a tiny bit stronger) than a strong cup of coffee, usually estimated at about 80 mgs. These work fast and are easy to take a few extra on the road. Considering that there is not many things worse (maybe needing a bathroom stop qualifies) than being stuck in traffic late in the afternoon with no coffee shops around, or easily accessible, and these are absolutely perfect. Just remember, unlike mints, or gum, you do need a liquid to swallow them. But if you are frequently stuck in late day traffic, I assume that you already know this. Enjoy!

This is not good (no, really). This is a bad unsafe product. I put it as 5 star review so it would not be hidden. I don't know if this is actually caffeine, or other stuff. Was around 600mg from energy drinks. Acidity was affecting my teeth. Switched to these. Wasn't pushing as much, but was feeling pain in my kidneys from lower amounts like around 300mg and maybe less. Reluctant to take these pills. Push to 600mg and felt pain. It wasn't good. Chilled out, let my body recover. Was using these pills for maybe 2 months. Switched back to energy drinks. Oh my gosh, just 200 mg from a Celsius gave me such a good jolt. THESE PILLS MADE ME SO EMOTIONALLY NUMB. Already I have such a serious personality, but these pills made me so unable to actually feel emotions, even with things I actually liked. I remember having that Celsius and thinking 'what is this feeling?' Emotions! That's what I felt. Emotions. Before these pills, I was on energy drinks 600mg daily. Stopped cause acidity. I went into caffeine withdrawal. Was so sick, cold, sweat so much, felt so terrible for 4 days. Was great after. Not so much later, I wanted caffeine again (cause it's so boring). Switched to these pills. Terrible. Did not experience that energy or stimulation of caffeine, but some type of feeling of emotional numbness. No alertness. No perked up energy. I never went into withdrawal when taking these pills, so something is in it, but what? I didn't ever feel a kick like you'd even get from 1 coffee, cause even though you might have a high tolerance, you can still feel a coffee. With these pills, you don't feel anything, not even pushing to higher amounts. All I felt was such emotional numbness and kidney pain even from lower amounts. Days later, energy drinks, 600mg in 24 hour period (12hour consumption time of 600mg in 24 hour period), did this a couple days in a row. No kidney pain. No emotional numbness. These pills are dangerous. Look at the 1 star reviews also. Do not buy these.

I tried two Nutricost 100mg caffeine pills today to compare it to the feeling I get when I take two Kaged 100mg caffeine pills (B0C7RCV9K3). Normally I only take one pill a day but I wanted to be able to tell the difference between the two. Oh my God… Kaged is way smoother! It’s such a beautiful, gentle pickup. On the other hand, Nutricost felt like I had a pack of wild horses in my chest for hours! 😂 Even though Kaged is 5x more expensive (Kaged is 15 cents a pill, Nutricost is 3 cents a pill), 15 cents for “a cup of coffee” is still a great deal. I asked Grok why there was such a big difference in the experience of it and it said because Kaged is a natural extract and it’s released more slowly whereas Nutricost is synthetic and it hits you all at once. Grok: The jittery feeling from Nutricost's caffeine pills (which use synthetic caffeine anhydrous) versus the smoother experience from Kaged's PurCaf (organic caffeine from green coffee beans) largely comes down to differences in how they're sourced, processed, and absorbed by the body. While both deliver the same core molecule—caffeine—their effects can vary due to absorption rates, purity, and the presence (or absence) of natural plant compounds. Here's a breakdown based on available insights: 1. **Absorption Speed and Energy Delivery** - Synthetic caffeine anhydrous, like in Nutricost, is a highly concentrated, lab-produced form that's designed for rapid absorption through the digestive system. This leads to a quick spike in blood caffeine levels, which can feel like an intense, immediate energy rush—but it often results in side effects like jitters, nervousness, or an elevated heart rate, especially if you're sensitive to caffeine or take it on an empty stomach. - In contrast, PurCaf organic caffeine is extracted from green coffee beans using a water-based process, which allows for a more gradual absorption. This creates a steadier, sustained release of energy without the abrupt peaks, making it feel smoother and less likely to cause those shaky sensations. 2. **Accompanying Compounds and Buffering Effects** - Natural sources like PurCaf retain beneficial plant compounds, such as chlorogenic acids (antioxidants found in green coffee beans), vitamins, and other methylxanthines. These act as natural "buffers," slowing down caffeine's release and modulating its impact on the nervous system. This can promote better mental clarity, focus, and a more balanced energy profile, reducing the risk of jitters or post-boost crashes. - Synthetic anhydrous caffeine is stripped of these extras during manufacturing (often derived from chemicals like urea), so it's essentially pure caffeine hitting your system all at once. Without those modulating elements, it's more prone to causing overstimulation or uneven effects. 3. **Production and Purity Factors** - PurCaf's organic, chemical-free extraction from non-GMO green coffee beans avoids potential impurities or residues from pesticides, which some users report contributes to a "cleaner" feel overall. This aligns with reports that organic caffeine is gentler, particularly for people prone to anxiety or side effects from synthetic versions. - Synthetic forms can sometimes include trace manufacturing byproducts, though high-quality ones like Nutricost's are generally pure. Still, the lack of natural synergy often leads to a harsher experience for some. Individual factors like your tolerance, dosage, hydration, and whether you eat with it also play a role—e.g., starting with half a dose can help mitigate jitters from either. If this persists or concerns you, consulting a doctor is a good idea, as caffeine sensitivity varies widely. Overall, if smoothness is key, sticking with natural options like PurCaf tends to be better for avoiding that wired feeling.
