I consider caffeine to be a DRUG. It happens to be OTC, but so are other strong drugs. It has health ramifications...can induce headaches upon withdrawal and cause significant anxiety, insomnia and cardio effects in some people. This product appears to have almost 5 times the caffeine content compared to a diet cola (ave 30mg each). So to
me it seems significant and worth having more information about.

exactly! what is the problem with disclosing how much caffeine is in your product. In my opinion its the mystique factor in this case. Many people do not realize that caffeine is involved in these drinks. If they thought about it or knew it sales might suffer. the angle they work is that it is some new modern scientific breakthrough. Again in my opinion i dont think that extreme anything is a good practice for those with chronic illness.
