Your answers help build real-world evidence about how people describe their energy, focus, mood, and taste when using a product like this. The study is open to adults ages 25 to 59 in the continental United States who already drink caffeine regularly.

What's Involved

You take one serving of an energy product each morning for 14 days and complete short surveys in the Alethios app on Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14. The surveys ask about your energy, focus, mood, taste, how the product fits your routine, and your other caffeine intake, and each check-in also asks how often you took the product so the study team can track consistent use. There are no clinic visits, blood draws, or lab tests, and you can report any side effects through the app at any time.

What's Being Studied?

Caffeinated drinks and powders are widely used, and people often choose them based on how they feel: whether their energy is steady, whether they can focus, and whether they crash later. Less is known about how people describe these experiences over two weeks of daily use in their normal routine. This study tracks self-reported energy, focus, mood, taste, and caffeine habits on Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14 using online questionnaires.
