How Much Caffeine Is in Sugar Defender?
How much caffeine is in Sugar Defender is not printed. Guarana seed (third) and green tea leaf (seventh) are the two sources, capped at 67 mg and 29 mg of extract per mL. Neither cap converts to a caffeine figure, so sensitive people should treat the dose as unknown.

The label01
Does the Sugar Defender label list caffeine?
No. The Supplement Facts panel names guarana seed and green tea leaf but prints no caffeine amount, and the sales page prints none either.
That is common. Guarana is a caffeine source whose caffeine amount is often not declared on labels (NIH ODS, Dietary Supplements for Weight Loss). Seeds contain caffeine, and many of guarana's effects are credited to it (MSKCC, Guarana).
So the honest answer to "how much" is: some, and the amount is unknown.
Label math02
How much guarana caffeine content can a mL hold?
The guarana seed line holds at most 67 mg of extract per mL, and green tea leaf at most 29 mg. Those are weights of extract, not of caffeine.
| Ingredient | Place | Math | At most |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guarana seed | 3rd | 200 / 3 | 67 mg |
| Green tea leaf | 7th | 200 / 7 | 29 mg |
Extract strength is not printed, so no caffeine number follows.
A benchmark03
How does it compare with FDA's 400 mg line?
FDA cites 400 mg of caffeine a day, about two to three 12-oz cups of coffee, as an amount not generally linked with negative effects in most healthy adults (FDA, Caffeine: how much is too much?).
The label gives no way to check how much of that room one serving uses. If you already have coffee, tea and energy drinks, the drops add to the total.

Who should be careful with the caffeine?
Anyone sensitive to caffeine, and anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or on certain medicines, should ask a provider (FDA, Caffeine: how much is too much?).
- Common guarana side effects are nausea and insomnia (MSKCC, Guarana).
- Guarana may not be safe with other stimulants.
- The label asks anyone on medication to see a physician first.
Suggested habit, not a label direction: take the 1 mL in the morning. We cite no data on caffeine and blood sugar, so keep prescribed medicine unchanged.

FAQ06
Sugar Defender questions people ask
Can I take Sugar Defender if I avoid caffeine?
Be cautious. Two of the 22 blend ingredients carry caffeine and the amount is not printed, so ask a clinician if you must avoid it entirely.
Will Sugar Defender keep me awake?
It might for sensitive people. Insomnia is a common guarana side effect, so a morning dose is the safer habit (MSKCC, Guarana).
Is there more caffeine in the 6-bottle pack?
No. Every bottle holds the same drops. A larger pack only gives you more bottles at $49 each.
