VALI Time Release Caffeine 100mg Pills - Smart Slow Release for Extended Energy & Focus. Advanced Nootropic Supplement. Brain Booster for Active Performance, Alertness & Clarity. 120 Veggie Capsules

To rate this product, I feel I should give a little bit of my back story. I am a middle aged woman and I suffer from a debilitating disease that causes extreme fatigue. I also suffer from extreme, chronic gastricintestinal reflux disorder. Due to extreme GERD, I had to have a Gastric Bypass. I was hesitant at first to try these given the bypass, but we were getting ready to move to a different city and I couldn’t afford to be sleepy all day. I was afraid I might injure myself by being so fatigued. My son offered me one of his time release caffeine pills. I normally don’t take any caffeine or drink much caffeine because it gives me the jitters, especially now that I’ve had the bypass. That being said, I figured it was no different than just having one cup of coffee or tea, so I would just work my way past the jitters. But I was wrong. It was different. It was WAY BETTER than a cup of coffee. I didn’t experience any of the usual coffee type jitters. I didn’t have reflux issues from it. It lasted a good 5-6 hours and there was no post caffeine crash. There is just the right amount of caffeine for me, not too much or too little. And the time release worked great, even with the gastric bypass. I think they’re great!

Great product and ingredients. I’m a returning customer.

Great product! I’ve been using it for several years now and I have always been happy with the consistency of the effect and quality. It gives me the energy and mind clarity that is expected from caffeine in a slow and steady way without any side effects on my heart or stomach! I love it!

This time-released caffeine pill seems to work as intended. It gives you a longer duration effect of five or six hours (as opposed to three to four hours for regular caffeine pills) and a lower jolt to your system since it releases gradually. I thought this would be useful to me because I don't really like the feeling I get when I use caffeine. Caffeine is good for keeping me awake during my afternoon slumps, but it also makes me feel tense. So I tried this time-released version since I thought I could avoid a spike and thereby reduce my reaction (tenseness) to it.However, I still wound up feeling just as tense; except now it was for a longer period of time. So I have discontinued using this product in favor of regular caffeine pills (Jet Alert). The regular caffeine pills are fast acting and they don't stay in my system as long, maybe four hours or so. I still get the tense feeling, but it reduces the length of time it lasts. I only need the stimulant effects for maybe three hours to avoid my afternoon slumps.So this time-release version may work better for others than it does for me, if you want a longer and more gradual stimulant effect.

I waited to write this review to give an opinion on how the Vali Time-Released Caffeine supplement worked over at least a two month period. I began taking 1 capsule every morning (starting 11/9/2024) at the same time, 30 minutes before a morning run. All I can say is this works! Flawlessly. Every time. I never and I mean never have any caffeine jitters. Previously, anytime I’ve tried even a low-dose caffeine supplement, I’d get jittery. What I really loved about this supplement is I didn’t want anything but caffeine. Also, I’m not sure how Vali’s Time-Released Caffeine works exactly, but I have tried a couple of other time-release caffeine supplements that gave me weird feelings. I now have Vali Time-Released Caffeine on auto-delivery.

If I don’t have time to drink coffee in morning, I just take one capsule of this caffeine and it will immediately keep me energetic.update：I think it is not suitable for long-term use. In the long run, I should choose natural coffee.

My biggest complaint in searching for a caffeine pill was how much caffeine they all have in them, especially for a concentrated dose. This product has 100 mg (comparable to an 8-oz cup of coffee) compared to the 200 mg that most of the caffeine pills I looked at contained. The smaller dose coupled with the time-release dosing in this product is why I decided to try it. This caffeine pill is about the size as your average multivitamin. It is powder in a capsule, so if you have difficulty swallowing pills you could easily open the capsule and mix the powder in with food or drink. There is really no flavor if you swallow the capsule. If you balk at the amount of caffeine even with the time-release, you could always open the capsule and only use half of the dose, which would disperse an amount of caffeine somewhere between what is in an average 12-oz can of soda and an average 20-oz bottle of soda, or about the equivalent amount in two 8-oz cups of tea. I don't feel jittery after taking one of these capsules and it does seem to sustain my energy longer than constantly drinking soda did. I definitely feel better using these as a caffeine source than I do drinking soda, and these will be more cost-effective than the amount of soda I have been drinking.

These seem to work, so at least there’s that. The bad news is the taste is very very weird and strong. Not neutral like most pills. It tastes to me faintly of berries and strongly of soap or chemicals or something. It is hard to describe but I found it very off putting and ordered another brand.
