    Mine say (up to) 32mg caffeine per pill, same brand and product. weird. but you need to assess your tolerance for 1 pill, 2 pills, 3 pills so on and so forth. once you start seeing negative side effects after a few days at that dosage, you know you went too high and need to back it down to the previous level where you were OK with it. I know I stay away from stims, and I was taking 2 of these per day (64mg) and 2-3 zero cokes per day (about 100 and change mg) and I seemed fine.

    ZERO coke lol...zero calories. just cancer causing artificial sweeteners like I said, try 2 and see how you feel. and then you can move up to more caps as long as it does not cause your heart to beat rapidly, or any other negative stim sides show up.

    Are you taking it for weight loss or for health reasons? If the former, drop the GTE because you need to stack it with caffeine to be (marginally) effective.

    The amino acid in green tea, L-Theonine, is more calming than the caffeine is stimulating.
