Ingredients

Every dose is printed here. Nothing is hidden behind a proprietary blend.

Per pouch

Caffeine — 50 mg

Roughly half the caffeine in a standard cup of filter coffee, which contains about 80–95 mg.

L-Theanine — 100 mg

An amino acid found naturally in tea leaves. Tea contains both caffeine and L-theanine; coffee contains caffeine alone. Tropi uses them at 2:1.

Citicoline — 100 mg

Not choline bitartrate, the cheap salt almost every other brand uses. Citicoline carries choline together with cytidine, and costs several times more per gram. It is authorised in the EU as a novel food for use in food supplements. At the maximum of 4 pouches per day, Tropi provides 400 mg — within the 500 mg daily limit set by that authorisation.

Rhodiola rosea extract — 50 mg

A root extract, long used across Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
