Key takeaways

- Distinguish ingredient evidence from finished-product evidence.
- Use responsible adult positioning and market-specific compliance review.
Definition and formulation context
A mild caffeine tier with transparent amounts may suit some caffeine-tolerant adults; caffeine-free options can avoid adding to coffee intake.
Evidence, release and limitations
Do not target schools, minors or ADHD treatment. Avoid claims of higher IQ, guaranteed grades or photographic memory.
Buyer and brand implications
Brands should state caffeine limits, timing and stop-use advice and use mature packaging.
