How much caffeine is in gums, gels and other products?
We track 10 gums, gels and other products with caffeine figures from the brand, USDA FoodData Central, DailyMed or a published lab test.
The typical one has about 61 mg in its usual serving. Honey Stinger Caffeinated Chews is the strongest at 100 mg (5 chews (25 g), Berry Blast); Coffee Liqueur is the mildest with caffeine at 12 mg.
For an 11 pm bedtime, 10 of the 10 with caffeine can still be started at 3 pm or later by an average adult; 0 are too strong to fit into the same day at all.
Each page shows the sizes, how much is still in you at bedtime if you have one at 3 pm, and the latest time to drink it for your bedtime.
