Can you believe they actually make this stuff?
- Each capsule has 200mg of caffeine and dishes it out in steady doses throughout an 8 hour period.
- Vegetarian capsule!
- Pure, unprocessed (non-synthetic) caffeine from Colombian Green Coffee Beans.
- Special coating to reduce the potential of an upset stomach.
- 12 capsules per package
So basically, if drinking an energy drink, or a morning cup of coffee wasn’t enough, you can now take a pill that will give you that extra boost for the entire day to drag your ass to your meetings. I dunno about you, but if I had a coffee pill I’d be blinking 100 times a minute and sleeping would be harder than my abs. And trust me, that’s pretty hard.
The weirdest thing about these bad boys is that they use a thing called “Time Release Technology” which is basically another word for “Ulcer”. They describe them as scientific and magical all at the same time, which totally makes me want to try them and risk the inevitable ulcer anyways.
Good times.

Actually, if they aren’t lying, it’s been done before, though I’ve only heard of it used with Dexedrine, an ADD/ADHD and anti-narcolepsy medication.

It’s similar but not identical to the release rate of an extended release Dexedrine Spansule. Spansules release half the dose within the first hour and the rest is released gradually over 6-8 hours. These caffeine pills release their contents at a consistently steady rate from the time of ingestion.
I guess part of the reason this is just so totally unappealing is because drinking a cup of good coffee is a simple pleasure in life and this just eliminates that whole enjoyable experience.
” drinking a cup of good coffee is a simple pleasure in life and this just eliminates that whole enjoyable experience.”
Maybe it’s enjoyable for you, Coffee Beans, but I find the taste of coffee to be disgusting. While I may be in the minority, there are others who, like me, forgo the “simple dis-pleasure” of which you write, and go to the source. I am glad that we have other options besides drinking that vile brew.
I’d rather drink my caffeine that take a pill–love my cup-o-joe.
That said the technology in this pill may be similar to something that recently launched in Colorado. It’s a drink with sustained release caffeine, vitamins and electrolytes–and it works. It’s like having a half cup of starbucks ever hour for four hours. But is costs almost 3 bucks a bottle yet i still buy it. Is the science sound? drink is Zum XR (extended release)
The Zum XR drink in colorado (whole foods) does work great. A bunch of guys on my cycling team use it religiously. Yes, it works for bike racing but I like it even better for the focus and drive it gives me at work–helps me get more done. No crash. But I cannot find it at many stores in Boulder.
