Caffeinated mints are marketed as an energy-boosting alternative to coffee, energy drinks, or tea. They contain caffeine, taurine, B vitamins, or ginseng and are mint-flavored. They are marketed to athletes, students, and travelers as a low-calorie, affordable, and convenient source of caffeine that also freshens breath.
Caffeinated mints are breath mints that contain caffeine and may contain additional stimulant supplements such as taurine, B vitamins, or ginseng. These mints are typically marketed as an energy-boosting alternative to caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, energy drinks, or tea. Some people find caffeinated mints to be a quick energy boost easier than drinks, because they’re usually pretty easy to keep on hand. Small packs can usually be carried in a pocket or bag. Caffeinated mints can vary in caffeine content, but some brands contain about the same amount of caffeine as the average cup of coffee.
Most types of caffeinated mints are mint flavored. Some mints contain as little as 5 milligrams of caffeine, while stronger brands can contain up to 100 milligrams of caffeine, making them as strong as one cup of coffee, two cups of black tea, or three 12-ounce cans (0. 35 liters) of caffeinated soft drink.
Most energy candies also contain other ingredients that increase energy, as well as mental and physical performance. Ginseng and taurine are often added to caffeinated mints. Some companies also add B vitamins, which are said to increase energy and stamina, and may also help maintain good health.
These mints are typically marketed to athletes, long-distance drivers, students, and travelers as a means of quick energy. It is often touted as a low-calorie alternative to the types of sugary snacks that busy people may turn to for quick energy when there isn’t enough time for a cup of coffee or other caffeinated beverage. Their size makes them easy to carry in a pocket or bag, which is why they are generally considered more affordable than more traditional sources of caffeine, such as coffee, tea, or energy drinks. A packet of caffeinated mints is often comparable in price to a cup of coffee, energy drink, or bottle of soda, which is why they are often more affordable and more convenient.
In addition to their convenience and possible invigorating qualities, caffeinated mints also generally claim to sweeten and freshen breath, just as most breath mints have always claimed to do. There are a number of caffeinated candies, foods and drinks available, but many of them do not offer breath freshening properties.
