Everyone knows caffeine is probably the #1 otc nootropic, yet somehow the idea of time release caffeine is not a huge deal. I believe it could be, but that it is either not priced right or from the couple I have found dont seem to be great. It is probably as "simple" as getting the right amount of instant release and then getting a suitable time release. The latter technology seem to have made some leaps in recent years.
Just an idea to have an, imo, easy winner.

Just straight caffeine but also economical. Caffeine is dirt cheap and the product would need be competing at a much lower price point rather than the ultra saturated generic energy booster blends category.
That's an interesting product and probably the only reason I never noticed it is because I'm simply not looking at 35$ products where caffeine is doing the heavy lifting. (I don't doubt it is probably a decent product however. I found dynamine to be a one and done trial - inferior to caffeine and far more expensive.)
For example, 200mg of caffeine is under 10 bucks for 100 or 200 servings, and even amazon ships 500 servings to your door for around 15.
If they just got the caffeine in a quality extended release what would that product be priced at? It would probably sell a lot more volume since it would be competing in an entirely different class.

The Dynamine in our product is the most expensive part. That's from Compound Solutions, and they charge an arm and a leg for it. I suppose we could consider just doing a standalone extended release caffeine.
