Genius Caffeine Review

Much as caffeine is one of the easiest-to-find nootropics, it also comes with its fair share of downsides.

For instance, it can leave you with a terrible crash within just a few hours of taking it. At the same time, people with caffeine sensitivities often complain of feeling jittery and some even experience some weird stomach cramps.

But what if there was a way in which you could tap into the benefits of caffeine without worrying about its potential, negative effects? That’s where delayed-release caffeine pills come in. And the Genius Caffeine is probably the most popular one of them all.

It’s made up of pure coffee put in vegetarian-friendly capsules. And if the reviews posted about it so far are anything to go by, then you’re looking at a product with the potential to make you love the good ol’ caffeine once again. Let’s take a closer look at this dietary supplement and the science behind it.

What We Know About Sustained Release Caffeine Pills So Far

First of all, we need to clarify that caffeine pills are, to some extent, controversial. The FDA lists them as “potentially dangerous.” Indeed, it’s true that these pills can be dangerous but only if misused.

So, before we proceed with this review, we’d like to remind you that much as caffeine pills might seem harmless, we should all remember the rule our grandmas taught us. “Too much of anything can be poisonous.”

And now, without further ado, we’d like to go ahead and unbox the Genius Caffeine for you in the following few lines.

Genius Caffeine Overview

Just take one pill in the morning and it’ll last you for 8 hours or so. And the best part is that thanks to the slow, sustained release approach taken here, you can significantly lower your risk of the following well-known caffeine side effects by just taking it:

• Jitters
• Anxiety
• Raised heart rate
• Digestive issues

And the explanation for that is pretty simple. Sustained-release pills mean that only small portions of caffeine make it to your bloodstream and CNS at any given time. As such, this helps prevent an overload of the stimulant in your system which is what typically happens if you take too many cups of coffee.

Potential Benefits

Just like other caffeinated supplements, the effects from taking this supplement tend to kick in in 15 to 30 minutes. Within that time, you’ll most likely notice a significant surge in energy, focus, and motivation but in a smooth way. No jolting up and crashing down.

Some of those who use it even likened it to Adderall. So, if you’re looking for a safer alternative to that amphetamine, this might just be it. And not to mention that it’s a lot cheaper!

Ingredients

There’s just one active ingredient within this product and that is NewCAFF – 167mg. It’s just an enriched form of caffeine, given a fancy name.

At first, we thought that the product also contained L-Theanine. But to our surprise, there was none of it included.

You know, L-Theanine stacks quite well with caffeine and does a good job of reducing jitters and helping promote calmness.

That said, the Genius Caffeine still does a good job even without it. And that’s probably due to its microencapsulated design. Being the perfectionists we’re known to be, we’d still insist that the Genius Brand considers adding some L-Theanine to this formula to make it even better.

Other ingredients appearing on the list include:

• Vitamin C Palmitate
• Organic Rice Hulls
• Cellulose
• Veggie Capsules (Hypromellose)

Potential Side Effects

Much as we believe that this dietary supplement is largely safe for biohackers, there are still a few, rare side effects worth taking note of.

But as we’ve already mentioned, these side effects tend to occur when the product is abused. Like when you take more than 6 capsules of it per day. Who does that?

• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Tremors

The Mayo Clinic generally warns against taking more than 400mg of caffeine per day. And given the fact that these capsules come with 167mg of it, 2 of them should be just enough.

How to Take It

The instructions appearing on the label recommend taking 1 to 2 capsules of the product per day. Just to be on the safe side, we’d recommend you start by taking 1 pill and then assess its effects (and your tolerance) within 3 or 4 hours.

You can take the other pill afterward if you find the need to do so. Just be sure not to take it too close to bedtime.
