Quality!
Extremely affordable price for a ton of caffeine. And you only need 1/500 pills to get more caffeine than you’d get from a cup of coffee. This stuff is excellent and really nice to have.

Great energy drink alternative!
Perfect for my purposes. My energy drink of choice is Bang, but now that it’s harder to find it, I decided to try to supplement my caffeine levels another way. (I surely needed something to avoid the caffeine headache lol)This giant bottle was the perfect remedy. Bang contains 300 mg of caffeine, and each pill here is 200 mg… which is a reduction yes, but it’s better than nothing! 200 mg does just fine for me.500 easy to swallow pills will last me a looooong time.My tolerance for caffeine is pretty high, so I experience no side effects of jitters, GI upset, or anything else. It does provide the wake-me-up I sought with Bang. There is no smell to the capsules and no taste, so that’s awesome.I had originally intended to open the capsules and mix it into a Vitamin water, but I haven’t don’t that yet. Even so, I take it every morning with my various other supplements and there is no weird reactions, everything still works as they should lolIf you’re trying to get that caffeine boost without the calories of energy drinks, or artificial sweeteners of drinks, or whatever your reason is for not drinking them, this is definitely the way to go. Can’t beat 500 pills either, super good deal when you think of the money you save by not purchasing the energy drinks anymore lol

Over dose
Shoot. Be careful. I felt unusually nauseous after 1 pill. Being suspicious, I opened the next 2 and they were ~245mg (weighed). For me, ill eventually get there, but wasn’t expecting an extra 30% increase per serving. But for those that were maybe expecting an extra 20mg or so (being attuned to 180mg)…this is a Hella more than you’ll be expecting.

Be Wary: Check Your Pill Count!
Now that it has become increasingly difficult for conscientious consumers to make proper use of powdered caffeine anhydrous — i.e., for those of us who READ THE DIRECTIONS and MEASURE IT OUT using a calibrated digital scale — the market for pre-packaged caffeine pills has no doubt skyrocketed. Unfortunately, Bulk Supplements appears to have enough disregard for their customers to not bother with quality control. I did indeed read the caveats given by previous customers concerning the receipt of packages that were “short” a certain number of pills. Having ordered Bulk Supplements products before (mind you, these were pure powders and never pre-encapsulated), I decided that such reviews must merely have reflected the unfortunate, small proportion of transactions where (especially given the quantities being dealt with) an “accident” occurred.After receiving 289 of the promised 300 pills I paid for on my first attempt to give Bulk Supplements the benefit of the doubt, I have changed my mind. Bulk Supplements does appear to “gamble” on the probability that their customer will not take the time to check and see whether they have received the product that they purchased. I do wonder just how many customers have simply not had the time or inclination to do a pill-count on their own… The number of negative reviews given on Amazon is quite likely NOT reflective of the ACTUAL discrepancies which the few of us are willing to verify — not that a concern of the customer ought to be doing part of the work that THEY THEMSELVES paid for.I am aware that the “amount” of difference may seem negligible to some; I am not speaking to those who are willing to be lied to “a little bit” or who think that “a few dollars or cents” are somehow not “important” enough to quibble over. Given the number of transactions that have actually occurred where the agreement between Bulk Supplements and their customers has ended NOT in an “equal and agreed-upon exchange” but instead in a clear gain for Bulk Supplements, it is reasonable to assume that the sum of the exchanges in their favor may end up being quite extraordinary.I did contact Bulk Supplements customer service through Amazon’s “contact seller” link, and their reply was prompt and courteous. The substance of my message: “Please send me the missing eleven capsules.” (I included an image of the capsules received laid out on a baking sheet to help them understand that I had gone to the trouble to verify their claim.) The substance of their response: “All dealings made through Amazon must be dealt with via Amazon’s return-and-replacements policy.”I explained that I had purchased pre-packaged materials from Bulk Supplements and that, hence, my gripe in no way concerned Amazon, which latter company had completely fulfilled their end of the bargain. Bulk Supplements (again, very courteously) replied that I must “go through Amazon” if I wanted a return or replacement for a “defective” product.I see the technicality here, but the situation remains the same: If I go out of my way to actually re-package and return the product to Amazon for a replacement, I am only “hoping” that the replacement package will contain what it is supposed to. This is not about whether Amazon can replace my product — of course they can. This is about Bulk Supplements providing Amazon with a “defective” product. Thus the present, very public complaint, which I told Bulk Supplements I would write. Being someone who believes that you ought to provide what you promise, I have taken the time to “do my job” and hope that others heed this warning.
