trial dose
UNDER Balshaw et al., Amino Acids 2013;44:555-561 (PMID 22855206) — a single 1,000 mg dose in trained male middle-distance runners, randomised double-blind crossover; one of three healthy-adult trials at 1 g in the Waldron et al. Sports Med 2018 meta-analysis (doses 1-6 g)
Caffeine 100 mg 200 mg
position-stand range
UNDER Guest et al., ISSN Position Stand 2021, J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2021;18:1 (PMID 33388079) — 3-6 mg/kg; the threshold is derived from the low end, 3 mg/kg, for a 67 kg adult: 3 x 67 = 201 mg, rounded to 200 mg

Recognised by the dose reference but not scored: Niacinamide (the published dose comes from studies in people with a diagnosed condition, so it is not a threshold for anyone else); Biotin (no established dose outside diagnosed deficiency); Magnesium (replacement need is individual); Sodium (replacement need is individual); Potassium (replacement need is individual).

Dose integrity is not part of the electrolytes score; this audit is shown for reference.

Coverage: 7 of 11 dosed actives on this label matched the dose reference (blend headers, sub-totals, footnote rows and weighed excipients are not counted).

Two independent readers transcribed this label and agreed on every amount shown (verified 2026-10-24). Panel source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

“No amount” means the record carries no figure for that row: the label prints none (an ingredient-list entry or a blend member), prints it in another form such as a percentage, or only one reading recorded one.
