Make SIS BETA fuel yourself just a few pence per bottle

Given that many gels have something like 25mg or 40mg caffeine, I can see how 200mg caffeine might be alarming. If anything, though, the gel industry is under-dosing their caffeine amounts per gel, on average, just to meet market desires.

200mg caffeine is below the recommended dose per literature standards for probably >50% of forum users. 3-6mg/kg is recommended for events under 6 hours. Probably more necessary for very long events as the physiological half-life of caffeine is very roughly ~6 hrs.

200mg is certainly not in the realm of dangerous, or even close to it.

Taurine is not a stimulant.

Theanine is not a stimulant.

For context: My wife took 1600mg caffeine over a 24-hr ride. She’s 63kg. I’m 94kg and have taken 2000mg in a shorter duration than that.

Even if 3+ of those 200mg caffeine gels were taken together, 99.9% of folks would have nothing but a great day on the bike.

Disclaimer: this is not an endorsement to increase anyone’s caffeine dose. Talk to your medical doctor. Don’t do it if you have high blood pressure. blah blah blah. :slight_smile:

PS. That SIS product marketing is top notch. How to get people to increase their caffeine intake to actually-performance-enhancing amounts: label it nootropics.
