Caffeine only gives you a 2 - 10min buzz then its gone.

PS: I drink black coffee

"Caffeine is rapidly absorbed through the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream, where it takes about 15-45 minutes to reach peak levels. The level of caffeine in the blood reaching the brain determines the potency of its effects on the body. Usually the central nervous system is maximally stimulated within 30-60 minutes. Caffeine is metabolized by the liver and eventually its metabolites are excreted in urine, although caffeine can also be secreted in saliva, semen, and breast milk.

Caffeine will continue to have an effect on the body as long as it remains in the blood. The time required for the body to eliminate one-half of the total amount of caffeine consumed (or caffeine's half-life) varies from several hours to several days, but for the average non-smoking adult it is about 3-4 hours.
Several factors can lengthen caffeine's half-life, such as some medications, liver diseases, pregnancy, and the level of enzymes in the liver needed for caffeine metabolism. The half-life of caffeine in a pregnant women is 18-20 hours; the half-life in women taking oral contraceptives is up to 13 hours. Other factors, such as smoking can shorten caffeine's half-life. Half-life in a newborn baby may be as long as 30 hours."

Okay, I got to admit it; years ago I got a hold of some pink hxxxxx. They were pure caffiene though and not narcotic. Still, they gave me energy like crazy. I wonder now that I do not take in so much caffeine if I messed up my metabolism long ago by taking them.... I mean I like coffee, but I cant stand it black anymore and have to use one of these fatfree creamers like cinnamon hazelnut in the refrigerator section. I am sure each cup i drink adds unneeded calories even if it is fat free....
I saw some stuff I am thinking about trying:
New Zenxxxxx HIGH Energy contains a revolutionary new formula that mimics the effects of ephedra without the unwanted side effects sometimes associated with ephedra. This one of a kind product contains 5 active ingredients designed to work synergistically to boost your metabolism thoughout the day.

Contains Cordia Salicifolia (Cha De Burge) which is a new energy stimulant from the rainforests of Brazil. This product has been used for years to increase energy, curb appetite, reduce cellulite and stimulate circulation.

Serving Size: 1 capsule

Servings per container: 90 capsules

Caffeine Anhydrous 250 mg

Cordia Salicifolia (Cha De Burge) 250 mg

Evodiamine (plant) 100 mg

Green Tea Extract (plant)(40% ECGC) 100 mg

White Willow Bark (plant)(15% salicin) 100 mg

It had 250 mg of caffeine, over double of the pink hxxxxx.. I wonder how jittery they make a person.

Well, those are both 2 I haven't heard of. We stay safer if we don't advertise the ones we know nothing about, just in case...so I am x-ing out the names, just until I learn about both.

Would you mind PM-ming me any other information you have so I can check them out? THANKS!

Some folks are so caffeine sensitive! I wish I were.
