FYI, Each Of These Gummies Has As Much Caffeine As A Cup Of Coffee

Have you ever wondered why you love coffee so much? Seriously, how is it possible to love coffee so much? I practically drink it everyday.  Yet, sometimes when I drink more than a cup, I am literally bouncing off the walls. I absolutely love the taste, but too much makes me jittery. According to Seattle Gummy Company, they have released a new caffeine gummy that will seriously knock your socks off without any of the jitter affects. 

It’s like coffee on the go, but in gummy form. According to Foodbeast, the new high energy Mocca Shots comes with more caffeine than your typical 8 ounce cup of coffee. The company also claims that it works five times faster than coffee because of the way they absorb into the body. Mocca Shots come in a chocolate raspberry flavor and a chocolate orange flavor. 

Seattle Gummy Company claims that mixing chocolate with caffeine decreases the jittery side effects of a cup of coffee. According to a study (sponsored by the Hershey Company), cocoa improves cognition and attention. When you drink caffeine by itself, it tends to increase anxiety. Adding cocoa to caffeine can reduce the anxiety-inducing effects.

So basically the study encourages our mocha latte obsessions. 

The company also says their gummies have the highest caffeine concentration available on the market right now, according to FoodBev Media

“Next to an IV, Mocca Shots are the fastest way to deliver caffeine directly into the bloodstream,” CEO of the Seattle Gummy Company Dr. Connie Wan said to FoodBev

Mocca Shots are $33 for a box of 12 pouches, and each pouch contains two gummies. Each gummy also contains 100mg of caffeine in comparison to the 95mg in a cup of coffee. You can also purchase a “sample pack” that contains four-packs of gummies for $9.99. 

Maybe you can spice up your morning jolt with these gummies.
