Viter EnergyCaffeinated Mints 40mg Caffeine, B Vitamins, Sugar Free. (Wintergreen, 20pcs, 6 Pack)

Caffeine that goes directly into the bloodstream, versus going through your gut and then into your body, just works different. I first tried “sublingual” caffeine a few years ago in the form of a soft mint. It was designed to melt under your tongue. It worked great. There were no jitters and no crash. It just helped me stay awake and keep focused. Only problem is that every single flavor was nasty and they took forever to melt, so you were suffering for like 20 minutes with that stuff. I eventually gave up until I saw this.Now, caffeine in this form is never going to taste good like a normal mint. There will be some sort of difference in taste, usually a little bitterness. This isn’t candy. But I got the cinnamon mint of these and they are actually quite good! With the other melts, sometimes it was so bitter I just ended up spitting it out or swallowing it. I don’t have that issue with these mints. They taste good. A little cinnamon and a little mint. I use these during the week and now only make a latte once a week. This has helped me consume caffeine without added calories.

I purchased this product to take on an upcoming cruise since getting my morning and afternoon energy drinks is hard when away from home. I chose the chocolate version based on reading other reviews and my personal taste.The seller contacted me, soon after delivery, to see how satisfied I was with the flavor, and when I told them I hadn't tried them yet since I was saving them to take on a trip, they offered to provide me with free samples of various flavors if I would review them. I accepted and received the samples and began trying them out.I found the wintergreen, peppermint, and Cinnamon flavors to be very strong and not particularly to my taste, but that is generally in line with my taste in general - those not being flavors I generally go for. If you are a fan of those flavors, you will likely appreciate them more than I did. Fair warning, they are NOT subtle, but the flavors are true.I found the chocolate flavor to be extremely nice. When it says chocolate mint, the emphasis should be on the mint, rather than on the chocolate. These are, after all, breath mints, not candies. But the chocolate flavor, in my opinion, smooths out the mint very well, which did not occur with the other flavors. I wouldn't use them to try to satisfy a chocolate craving. After all, these are not Girl Scout mint chocolate cookies, but as a breath mint, they are quite tasty and enjoyable.When it comes to mint, I am pretty much a spearmint person. For example, if I chew mint gum, it will always be spearmint. So the samples of spearmint suited me much better. They are pretty intense, so I likely wouldn't use them as often as I would the chocolate, which seem much smoother. But if I were looking to freshen my mouth AND boost my energy level, these would be a great choice. I will undoubtedly use them all, but I am quite certain that I will go through the chocolate ones much faster.The energy provided by all flavors seems to be quite good. So, far, over a few days, I have taken 3 per day, over the course of a couple of hours, when I was nodding off and wanted to remain alert. The boost seems quite smooth and not at all gittery. I like the fact that I can take them individually, over a period of time, and stop when the right level of energy boost is reached. The fact that you can put them under your tongue for more rapid dissolve and absorption, while still getting a rush of flavor, is also appreciated.Overall, I expect these to be quite a boon on my cruise. I will update my review once I have more long term results. But it appears that I made the right choice. Kudos to other reviewers and thanks to the seller for the free samples.UPDATE:Well, they worked great for all sorts of trips. They work so well that I purchased the 1/2 pound bag to refill the cute containers they originally came in. The containers are convenient for travel and easy to refill (and much cheaper) to buy in bulk. I especially like how easy it is to pack these on a trip and use them anytime anywhere since they are so small and discrete.

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!
