Quick answer
SodaPeak contains green tea extract with about 5 mg of caffeine per gummy. The FDA cites 400 mg of caffeine a day as generally safe for most adults, so SodaPeak adds very little. Concentrated green tea extracts at high doses have been linked to liver concerns, which is not the case at SodaPeak's small amount.
Green tea extract is popular in energy and wellness supplements for its gentle caffeine and antioxidant compounds.
How much caffeine is in SodaPeak?
About 5 mg per gummy, according to the label. For comparison, the FDA says 400 mg a day is generally not associated with negative effects for most adults, and a typical cup of coffee has far more than 5 mg. See SodaPeak and coffee if you drink both.
Green tea safety
The NIH NCCIH reports no safety concerns for green tea consumed as a beverage. Concerns about liver injury relate to concentrated extracts at high doses, far above what a single gummy provides.
Caffeine sensitivity
Some people react to small amounts. MedlinePlus explains how caffeine affects the body. If you're sensitive, take SodaPeak in the morning.

What's in green tea extract
Green tea extract concentrates compounds from tea leaves, mainly catechins such as EGCG, along with natural caffeine. Manufacturers add it for a gentle lift and its antioxidant reputation. The NIH NCCIH reviews research on green tea for a range of uses and notes that results are mixed for many claims.
Beverage vs. concentrated extract
Drinking green tea is considered safe for most people. Concerns about liver injury relate to concentrated extracts taken at high doses, sometimes on an empty stomach. That's why it matters how much extract a product contains. A gummy providing about 5 mg of caffeine contains a small amount of green tea extract.
Caffeine: how much is too much?
The FDA says 400 mg a day is an amount not generally associated with negative effects for most healthy adults. People differ, though. MedlinePlus notes that caffeine can cause restlessness, a fast heartbeat, headaches and trouble sleeping in sensitive people.
Counting your daily total
- Brewed coffee: often 80–100 mg or more per cup.
- Energy drinks and pre-workouts: often 150–300 mg per serving.
- Cola and tea: smaller amounts.
- SodaPeak: about 5 mg per gummy.
If you stack several sources, the total adds up quickly. See taking SodaPeak with other supplements.
Who should limit caffeine
- People with heart rhythm problems or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
- Those with anxiety or insomnia.
- Anyone advised by their doctor to avoid stimulants.
How to judge a product that contains green tea extract
- Find the amount. Is it listed on its own, or hidden in a proprietary blend?
- Compare with research doses. If studies used grams and a product contains milligrams, expect a gentler effect, if any.
- Check the company. A named distributor and a complete label are basic trust signals; see how to read a supplement label.
- Look for realistic claims. The FDA warns that some "natural" enhancement products contain hidden drug ingredients.
- Give it time. Botanicals are typically studied over 8–12 weeks.
The bottom line
Green tea extract in small amounts is a mild, familiar ingredient. At about 5 mg of caffeine, SodaPeak adds little to most people's day. Take it in the morning; see how to take SodaPeak.
Reading caffeine on labels
Not every product lists caffeine clearly. Look for caffeine in the Supplement Facts panel or ingredients, and remember that green tea, guarana, yerba mate and coffee extracts all contain it. SodaPeak lists caffeine (5 mg) within its blend.
Caffeine withdrawal
If you cut back on caffeine suddenly, you may get headaches and tiredness for a few days. Reducing gradually helps. MedlinePlus covers caffeine effects and withdrawal.
Our take
At about 5 mg of caffeine, SodaPeak's green tea extract is a minor ingredient. The bigger caffeine question is usually your coffee, energy drinks and pre-workouts.
Keep track of your total daily caffeine from every source, and take caffeinated supplements in the morning.
