[ THE CAFFEINE REFERENCE ]

compare the amount
then the format

[ MAKE IT USEFUL ]

choose around your routine

01

smaller pieces

workflow has 20 mg per gummy; the 5-hour energy figure works out to approximately 23 mg per gummy. their serving sizes differ. the number of pieces you use determines your total.

02

less sugar

the neuro gum, viter mint and red bull sugarfree options shown are sugar-free. workflow contains 2 g per gummy. a smaller caffeine amount does not automatically mean less sugar.

03

your next occasion

choose a drink if you want something to sip, or a chewable format if you prefer it. if your goal is no additional caffeine, none of these five products meets that goal.

how we chose the products

a small, non-exhaustive set of us products spanning gummies, gum, mints and a canned drink. inclusion reflects format variety and accessible manufacturer information, not market share or a claim to cover the lowest-dose options.

how we compared them

we recorded the exact variant and portion from the linked manufacturer page or label. caffeine per reference portion equals caffeine per piece × pieces in that portion. the 5-hour energy per-piece figures are calculated: 92 mg caffeine ÷ 4 = approximately 23 mg; 1.6 g sugar ÷ 4 = 0.4 g. viter is shown per mint, without assuming a formal label serving size.

l-theanine is shown only when an amount is disclosed. we did not test absorption, taste, performance or health effects. amounts come from manufacturers rather than our own laboratory measurements. formulations and labels can change; check the package you receive.

prices are a dated snapshot

prices were checked october 29, 2026. the displayed one-time pack price is divided by its piece count and rounded to the nearest cent. shipping, tax, subscriptions and coupons are excluded. unverified prices remain unverified, including our own. cost per piece is not cost per equivalent effect.
