Green Tea Extract and Caffeine in Gummies: What to Know

By SodaApiek Editorial Team · Updated November 12, 2026 · 2 min read

Green tea provides catechins and a little caffeine.

What green tea extract brings

The NCCIH describes green tea as a source of catechins, studied for many outcomes with varying evidence. In a gummy it adds a modest plant-polyphenol component.

Caffeine, in numbers

A cup of coffee has roughly 95 mg of caffeine; SodaPeak has 5 mg. The FDA says up to 400 mg a day is generally not linked to harmful effects in healthy adults. See our caffeine guide.

Cautions

Concentrated green tea extracts have been linked to rare liver injury at high doses, which NCCIH mentions. The amount here is small, but check with a doctor if you have liver issues.

Practical tips

• Take it with food
• Count total caffeine across the day
• Compare with energy drinks

Putting tea and caffeine into your day

Because the gummy has so little caffeine, your coffee, tea or soda habits matter much more than the gummy itself. Count them: a mug of coffee is roughly 95 mg, a can of cola about 35 mg. Staying under the FDA's 400 mg guidance leaves plenty of room.

If you notice difficulty sleeping, move caffeine earlier in the day and take the gummy with breakfast. Avoid combining it with extra green tea extract capsules, since concentrated extracts are where rare liver concerns have been reported.
