If you do not like coffee but still want caffeine, you do not need to force yourself through a coffee habit. Tea, caffeinated gum, mints, gummies, powders and ready-to-drink products can all provide caffeine without coffee flavour. The useful choice is the one with a serving you understand and a format you actually enjoy using.
First decide whether you want a drink
Tea and ready-to-drink products still involve liquid. Powders require mixing. Gum, mints, tablets and gummies are drink-free formats, which can be useful when the goal is to avoid both coffee flavour and carrying another beverage.
Compare caffeine in milligrams
Package size is a poor proxy for caffeine amount. Check the labelled caffeine per serving and how many pieces or scoops make that serving. If you use more than one caffeine source during the day, count them together.
Use flavour as a preference, not a health signal
A flavoured product can be more pleasant for someone who dislikes coffee, but flavour does not tell you the caffeine amount, sugar or quality of the rest of the formula. Those still need to be read separately.
Where POWERON fits
POWERON is naturally strawberry flavoured and provides 100 mg natural caffeine from green tea extract per 2-gummy serving. The same serving contains 23 mg L-theanine and sodium, potassium and magnesium. The gummies contain 0 g sugar and are vegan and plant-based.
Choose for the routine you already have
If you enjoy a hot ritual, tea may be a more natural replacement. If the problem is the beverage itself, a portable chewable format can remove the cup, brewing and café stop entirely.
