Caffeine In 5 Hour Energy

5 Hour Energy is a small 2 fluid ounce energy shot.
The drink is named after its claim: 5 hours of energy without crashing.
The drink is non-carbonated and sweetened with Sucralose (Splenda).
Unfortunately, the caffeine levels are concealed within a Proprietary Blend of amino acids.
Here's what they publish about their caffeine content;
Original 5-hour Energy shots contain about as much caffeine as a cup of premium coffee. An Extra Strength 5-hour Energy shot contains about as much caffeine as 12 ounces of coffee. If you are sensitive to caffeine try a Decaf 5-hour Energy shot. It contains only as much caffeine as a half cup of decaffeinated coffee.
Unfortunately caffeine in coffee depends very much on brew method an varies even among premium coffee blends.
We received a tip from a website visitor who said that 5 Hour Energy told her the caffeine content was 138mg, which is inline with a premium cup of drip style coffee. Doing a little math we can figure the estimated level of their other products.
