Caffeine Pills vs. Coffee: What’s the Difference?

When you're taking pills, you should avoid drinking too much coffee at one time, as it can cause serious problems.

Caffeine pills are a convenient way to get a quick dose of caffeine. They contain natural caffeine, while coffee contains more of the same compound. Depending on the brand, caffeine pills may not contain additives or inactive ingredients.

KAMPALA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — There are many advantages to taking caffeine pills over coffee. Although the latter is more convenient to take, it’s also much easier to abuse. 

  • In addition to the benefits of caffeine pills, coffee has other advantages. While caffeine pills do not contain the oils and antioxidants that coffee does, they do not have the calories or sugar that coffee does. 
  • That means caffeine pills do not tempt you to add sugar and sweeteners to your coffee. 
  • Moreover, caffeine pills are safer than coffee. They can safely elevate your energy levels, reduce fatigue, and improve your cognitive performance. 
  • Coffee, on the other hand, may have unwanted side effects on your health.

On the other hand, coffee has many other health benefits, such as high antioxidant content and little risk of overdose. 

Caffeine pills also contain L-Theanine, which alleviates the jitters associated with caffeine. This article will discuss the benefits and risks of caffeine pills over coffee.

L-Theanine helps relieve caffeine jitters

L-Theanine is often referred to as the sidekick of caffeine. It works by reducing the jitters and crashes that can result from caffeine intake. 

This substance belongs to the amino acid family, which are made up of nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. These compounds serve as building blocks of proteins.

They help keep our nervous system calm during times of stress. 

L-Theanine helps relieve these side effects by acting as an inhibitor to GABA receptors, which means less CNS activity and a more calming feeling.

Studies have shown that L-theanine can reduce the effects of other stimulants. This supplement may reduce the jittering effects of caffeine pills. 

It has also been shown to counteract the effects of ephedrine and diethylpropion. 

L-theanine may help reduce the effects of guarana and yerba mate, which are both stimulants.

Caffeine pills contain more than coffee

caffeine pills drinking coffee

Although you can drink coffee to get a boost of energy, caffeine pills contain more than coffee. These pills contain more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per tablet, which can be more than enough for your daily caffeine intake. 

However, they don’t have the coffee taste or bitterness, and may also contain inactive ingredients, such as coloring agents, emulsifiers, and other additives.

While caffeine pills can give you the same boost as coffee, they are often more convenient. Taking them may give you jitters, but they are far less harmful than the beverage itself.

The main difference between liquid and pill caffeine products is their dosage. A teaspoon of pure powdered caffeine contains the equivalent of more than 20 cups of coffee. 

Both have similar caffeine levels, so the pill is more convenient.

However, powdered products can be harder to find and require extra precision and tools to take. If safety is your top priority, caffeine pills are better for you. 

When deciding which caffeine product to choose, keep in mind that pills are less expensive and more convenient than liquid forms.

They are cheaper

One of the biggest differences between caffeine pills and energy drinks is price. 

Energy drinks are overpriced and contain only about 200 milligrams of caffeine, which is not enough to give you a boost.

Caffeine pills contain a similar amount of caffeine, but are much cheaper. Moreover, you can get a variety of flavors. Caffeine pills can dissolve in water, allowing you to drink them throughout the day.

A bottle of caffeine pills costs less than a cup of coffee. Depending on the seller, you can get a bottle of 100 pills for under $10. 

A single pill contains more than four milligrams of caffeine, which means you can take several more as needed. 

Compared to drinking coffee, you won’t stain your teeth, either. Caffeine pills also provide the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee.

They contain less caffeine than energy drinks

These drinks are high in caffeine, but they contain less than the label says. Rockstar, for example, has 229 milligrams of caffeine per ounce – that’s almost double the caffeine in an espresso. 

In the US, energy drinks cause about 20,000 emergency room visits a year – and one out of every 10 people will end up in the hospital. 

Approximately 8,000 of these visits are from people who combine energy drinks with alcohol or other drugs.

Energy drinks contain an extensive list of ingredients. They also usually contain added calcium and vitamins that your body doesn’t absorb as well as whole foods. 

A grande cup of Starbucks coffee contains 225 mg of caffeine – the equivalent of four regular cups. So, to reach the recommended 400 milligrams a day, you’d need four cups of coffee a day. 

That’s about twice as much as the recommended limit.

They may increase urine output

Several factors are responsible for low urine output. Some are a result of poor diet while others are due to the body’s rapid excretion of fluids. 

A healthy person has approximately 60% water, so dehydration could result in a low urine output. 

However, there are some things you can do to prevent dehydration and increase urine output. Listed below are some tips to increase urine output. And don’t forget to stay hydrated!

Diabetic drugs and calcium channel blockers can cause increased urine output. Calcium channel blockers open blood vessels, allowing more water to leave the body. 

Diuretics increase urine output and can also increase thirst. 

Some medications may increase urine output by inhibiting the production of ADH, which helps the kidneys to move water out of the body. 

Some medications, like lithium, may also increase urine output. To treat polyuria, doctors will look for signs that your thirst is excessive.
