Energy & caffeine
Caffeine is in more drinks than you might think, and the amount varies a lot from one can to the next. Our energy guides compare the caffeine in popular drinks, from energy drinks and colas to tea and coffee, so you can make an informed choice.
We also look at healthy energy drinks and natural alternatives: matcha, green tea vs coffee, decaf, natural sources of caffeine and ways to get a lift without the sugar found in many energy drinks. And we answer a common question: does caffeine dehydrate you?
Vidrate Boost combines hydration with a measured dose of caffeine, with zero sugar, in 30mg and 90mg options.
