What to know
Do not estimate caffeine from the ingredient name alone. Check the finished product label for total caffeine per serving. Extract labels sometimes list standardized compounds, serving amounts, or caffeine information separately. A concentrated extract is not the same as drinking a cup of tea. Compare the form, amount, serving size, and product directions.
