Viter Energy Caffeinated Mints 40mg Caffeine, B Vitamins, Sugar Free. (Chocolate Mint, 20pcs, 6 Pack)

All in all an excellent product: they taste good (strong like an altoid, maybe stronger!), they boost energy without any jitters, the low caffeine dosage per mint makes it easy to get the exact dosage you're looking for, and for me they knock out headache pain for me allowing me to be able to focus on my life instead of pain. I've been buying these for several years now and will continue to do so. It's one of the products I will rave to friends and family about, as they roll their eyes at me, so I came here to rave at you instead! Let's keep these guys in business! They deserve it with this great product!! For years I've gotten tension headaches almost every day. I was taking Tylenol tension headache at least 4-5 times a week, and suffering a good bit while trying to avoid the need to take said medication. At some point I had a feeling that the main thing that was helping my headaches was the caffeine so I set out to test this theory and in doing so I discovered these mints. I had never been a regular caffeine consumer before then. I don't like coffee and tea is just not something I ever found a way to work into my life regularly. But these mints are perfect for me. It's easy to tailor your dose due to the low caffeine content in each mint (40mg, so about half as strong as a regular strength regular sized cup of coffee). Typically, if I take a mint early on when I start feeling a headache coming on it will knock out that achey back of the skull feeling within 15-20min of taking a mint. Sometimes I do need to take a second or third one to fully knock it out, but I think that is down to a tolerance developing after years of daily caffeine. In addition to that, I now have found a form/dosage of caffeine that works for me! So I'm now stepping into the world of being able to benefit from the focus and wakefulness that caffeine can bring. Though I do try to limit my use of it for energy boosting purposes to make sure it will keep working on my headaches.

Love these mints. I spent a couple years trying multiple brands of caffeine gums and mints. Came across these and have been using them consistently for almost a year now. I love how they come in different flavors and a small tin. The tin is the perfect size for every day carry. Plus I love how these don't stain my teeth like coffee or tea. I even started to buy the large refill pack and just refill my tins to be less wasteful. Each mint has only 40mg of caffeine, which is just the right amount for me to stay alert. I can still take 2 or 3 mints if I really need an extra boost. Highly recommend this brand.

I only like coffee with tons of bad things to disguise the flavor which is not healthy. I like tea but it is not convenient for a busy lifestyle. Throughout my life, I have struggled to find something that works for me for a caffeine boost/energy that is not negative on my health. Whether items had more issues than gain (soda) or short lived gsin and feeling worse after (energy drinks) or seems great at first but within a week to a month it becomes negative (certain supplements) or energy-specific supplements that are bad from the get-go, I have been through them all with some variations multiple times at different times in my life (Note-I am 50), so it's been a while! Finally; I have FOUND THE SOLUTION!!! Viter Energy is not just a game changer, but a true life changer! I have been using Viter Energy for two full and constant years and I can testify they work extremely well and have been free of side effects for me! I like the control you have to take just one, or in extreme situations four! Note that I always stay within the guidelines for safe amounts to take at one time and within a day. The amazing part is you can stay within the guidelines easily. Even at my most dire hour, it's always enough! Incredibly, you don’t build up a tolerance where you need to continually take more for it to be effective. I can have a morning where I feel dead, just a few hours of sleep wondering how I will get up, and take 3 or 4 and am renewed without jitters or issues! On occasion, I may take a little more than needed and may feel like I have had a little too much caffeine but since I have become knowledgeable about the amount that works for me so this is rare. Sometimes one or two is still very effective. Additional important key advantages include portability, convenience, and kick-in time which is quick! I buy the 8oz bags and refill the original tin I bought when I first tried the product. I carry it in my purse for afternoon slump (which I sometimes don’t have as there is no crash from taking Viter Energy) and on occasion, if I will have a late night after working, I will take a few in the early evening. The convenience of grab, take and done! I keep it in my bedside drawer so I can take a few when my alarm goes off...no getting out of bed to make or get coffee. As mentioned, the mints work fast. They are not instant when chewed and swallowed, but within 15 minutes you feel ready! There is no jolt or rush, just feels nice and that you are alert and ready to go, focus on work, or workout! I have tried a few flavors and although I would withstand a bad taste for this benefit there is no need; yet another plus! I highly prefer the chocolate mint. The flavor is nice and the chocolate tames down the mint flavor, making it pleasant without being overwhelming sharp or awful to consume! If you are still reading, I am sure you must be ordering! I know there are more people like me who have struggled to find that LIFE SOLUTION that you don’t have to gag down, is easy and fast to take, fast to work, no negative side effects (neither short not long term), convenient, healthy, and the price is great if you consider what you save on Starbucks or other caffeine sources that are less effective. Nonweight gaining and supports a healthy and busy lifestyle. THANK YOU Viter Energy; I truly LOVE you!

I really wanted to like these, as I cannot drink coffee, but do use other caffeine containing products to help with that "afternoon" slump. I have been using timed-release iSatori Energize but it has become just too expensive, so I hoped this would be an alternative. But the taste of the Wintergreen variety was quite bitter. (Years ago, I used to be able to get "Vojo" mints which tasted great and gave a quick source of caffeine that you could carry in your pocket or purse. I had hoped these would be similar.) In fairness, the product does give a jitter-free energy lift from the 40 mg of caffeine, in that regard it does do what one would expect. But the bitter flavor (presumably from the caffeine) permeates and makes it hard to get all the way through the mint. I shared some with my co-worker, who also looks for a sugar-free alternative to the mega-coffee drinks, and she had the same reaction. She chose to swallow hers with water, just to get the caffeine without having to taste it anymore. I really am disappointed.....I was so excited to find this product, but it was just too much of a bitter pill. Maybe some of the other flavors are not as bitter?? I don't know if I would want to spend more $ to find out. UPDATE: The folks (Bryan and Jacob) at Viter Energy are to be commended for good, old fashion customer service. Upon hearing my experience with their Wintergreen flavor, they offered to send me a sample of their other flavors in the hopes that I would find one I would like. I did. The Chocolate Mint does not have the bitter undertone that the wintergreen has and the energy boost is good. The Cinnamon is very strong, but also not bitter. The Peppermint and Spearmint are strong mint flavors, with a bit of that bitter undertone, so some people may like them, but just not for me. My co-worker and I have decided that our "afternoon slump" solution will be our Viter Energy Chocolate Mints!

I wasn’t going to leave a review; I usually don’t have time...But...the makers of this mint are silly and sent a 3rd party message through Amazon (see pic.) I’ll start at the beginning. I work in a busy retail environment where I am standing all day and have to stay very focused to keep my job. I drink A LOT of Mountain Dew!! This is obviously really really bad for my blood sugar!! I wanted something that would give me energy without also giving me diabetes. I found gum, strips that melt on your tongue, little chewable coffee gummies, and more. I tried a few of these products. When I first got these mints, I did not like the taste, but I wanted to use at least 1 little container before I gave my full judgement. I had one each day after my breakfast coffee wore off when I needed a bit more energy. Then, I would lose the container and work and not find it again until the following day. Very typical of me. By the third day, I forgot that the mint flavor was too strong for me. I typically avoid mints in general due to this problem. Now, I am able to take the mint flavor without even flinching. They are tasty and give me just enough energy to make it until lunch or the end of my work day. I will warn you: I’m a caffeine addict. My heart does not race and I don’t feel funny on higher levels of caffeine, so I can’t say if 40 mg is a lot. I’ve also continued to drink my normal amount of coffee. But I am no longer drinking so much Mountain Dew. In conclusion, I highly recommend these mints. They are perfect for a subtle pick-me-up that isn’t as obvious as coffee or soda. I can’t wait to try the cinnamon flavor! One more thing: I have debated adding this bit. We recently found out my son has ADHD. Before I give anything to my children, I research it to my satisfaction. Medications used for ADHD are typically stimulants. Caffeine is a stimulant. I gave my son a mint in the morning and one in the afternoon after school. The first day, he went to his stack of comic books and read the entire pile. He’s been wanting to do that for nearly a year, but he could never focus long enough to get through a single page. His symptoms are not bad enough to warrant prescribed medications, but they kept getting him into trouble all the same. Now that we give him these mints, he’s able to be a kid. He can now choose to behave. Sometimes, he still chooses not to...but that’s normal. This is NOT medical advise, and the doctor should ALWAYS be consulted about the treatment of a kid, but it has worked for him, and he’s happier now. And I have these mints to thank for it. I have included a picture of the PDF the makers sent to me, but I didn’t include the email. If they send it to you, it should be a surprise. Let’s just say, it’s cute. :)

Great for ADHD Better than coffee No jitteryness

Worked well as a caffeinated mint, gave a good level of energy so it functioned as intended which is why it’s a three star As far as the two missing stars well it does not function as a mint, I found the taste to be very artificial and made me just want to get a Red Bull instead, which defeated my purpose of trying to use them to quit caffeine. Subjective opinion clearly, some people may like the flavor, some may be able to tolerate it, but I did find the taste and feeling of the mint to be unpleasant.

It’s a bit pricey; but the overall taste and quality is not only awesome, but rather addictive. You’ll need to be mindful and not over indulge — yikes. The only thing that can be considered a downside is the price and use of highly processed sugar alcohols, such as Sorbitol and Sucralose; however, there is no other product I can find that is worth considering. Frankly, both Chocolate and Cinnamon flavored versions are good products, especially if you are looking for sugar-free alternatives.
