Depending on the strength of your morning coffee 50mg of caffeine will probably be a surprise to your body as most are 100-200mg range.

Yeah, we wanted to minimize the caffeine dose because we don't want to mess with people's caffeine tolerance. Big coffee drinkers (3+ cups a day) who've helped us 'beta test' this were pleasantly surprised by how much alertness they derived from our product.

Thanks for that. I found myself gaining a sensitivity to caffeine later in life. A cup of coffee makes me so shaky that I rarely touch coffee or caffeinated beverages anymore.

50mg hits me about the way I remember I'd feel after downing a 16oz coffee drink when I was a teenager. Any plans for a caffeine-free variety?

Did you get those backwards? Or are you saying that only getting 50 mg will make your body react funny because it's only getting 1/2- 1/4 of what your coffee has?
