Caffeine in electrolytes

Most electrolyte products contain no caffeine. The ones that do are usually an energy variant sitting inside an otherwise caffeine-free line, which is exactly where people buy the wrong tube.

Why variants catch people out

A brand will often sell a plain mix and a caffeinated version under nearly identical packaging, distinguished by one word. Because the two share a product line, a search result or a shelf can easily hand you the wrong one.

We record caffeine status per product and flag it on the product page and in comparisons, so a caffeinated variant is never presented as the plain version.

How caffeine is recorded here

Where a label declares caffeine, we record the declared amount per serving. Where the label states the product is caffeine free, we record that. Where the label says nothing either way, the value is shown as not declared rather than assumed to be zero — the same rule we apply to every other field.

Checking before you buy

Open the product page for the exact flavour and variant you intend to buy, not the line, and check the caffeine row. The product-line pages exist for this reason: they show every variant in a line side by side so the energy version is visible rather than hidden.

If you avoid caffeine for medical reasons, treat the physical label in front of you as the authority and speak to a health professional about your own limits.
