What to expect
A cup can be part of usual drinking habits. Its caffeine content varies. Supplement mixtures can combine several stimulant sources. Before considering an extract, record quantities and other products consumed. Anses has published guidance on sports supplements; a familiar drink does not validate a concentrate.
A cup and an extract are not equivalent
A cup made for taste and concentrated green-tea extract should not be judged as one product. For an extract, ask about quantity, formulation and precautions. Mention other drinks and supplements used. A cup’s taste is not evidence that a capsule works.
EXAMPLE / HOW TO USE IT
An example to adapt
List caffeine sources over a day, including drinks and supplements. Write “quantity unknown” where the label does not identify it. Discuss the list with a pharmacist before adding a product.
