A month ago, I switched to using caffeine pills in lieu of energy drinks. I’ve always hated coffee and only drink it when I don’t have a choice, and energy drinks are not only bad for you, they hit me in the wallet hard. I limited myself to just one Full Throttle a day, but even at the cheapest I can get them ($1.99 plus tax), I was blowing around $60 per month.
A bottle of quality caffeine pills costs me $7 and lasts for three months.
But saving money isn’t the sole reason why it’s worth switching to pills. By using caffeine pills in lieu of energy drinks, I’ve reduced my anxiety levels and jitteriness. In conjunction with other mood-leveling supplements like ashwagandha and suntheanine, I’m as cool as an ice cube… most of the time, anyway.
Caffeine Pills: Cost-Effective Energy
Caffeine pills, on average, provide a little more caffeine than the average energy drink. For example, the brand of pills I use, ProLab, has 200 mg of caffeine per pill. In contrast, a 16 ounce can of Full Throttle has 16o mg. This further adds to the savings I get from using pills.
However, the real advantage of caffeine pills, in my opinion, is the lack of jitters. Even when I’m on anxiety-killing supplements such as phenibut, energy drinks still put me slightly on edge. When I take caffeine pills, I get the jolt of energy without the nervousness, making my anti-anxiety supplements way more useful.
Overall, between the cost savings, reduced calories and lower anxiety levels, caffeine pills are definitely better than energy drinks. I’m not sure about coffee, though considering that I hate the stuff, I don’t know if it’s worth switching if you’re a coffee fiend. If you use energy drinks, however, you should get on caffeine pills yesterday.
