[More salt, less caffeine. Introducing Lemonade + Iced Tea (caffeinated)](https://drinklmnt.com/products/lmnt-recharge-electrolyte-drink?variant=45073875599383&utm_source=klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly-newsletter&utm_term=the-reasoning-behind-50mg-caffeine-in-lemonade-iced-tea&utm_content=product)

Hi Timothy,
 
​​For about five years, I worked with the [Naval Special Warfare Resiliency Program](https://science.drinklmnt.com/did-you-know/robb-wolf-work-naval-special-warfare?utm_source=klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly-newsletter&utm_term=the-reasoning-behind-50mg-caffeine-in-lemonade-iced-tea&utm_content=blog). The question driving the work was whether we could help these elite warfighters survive the operational tempo and come out the other side stronger.
 
​​My focus was sleep, nutrition, and stimulant use. Caffeine came up a lot.
 
Sleep deprivation in that community is a selection criterion and caffeine is the currency that keeps the system running. Here’s the thing: Caffeine isn’t the problem — the assumption that “more is better” might be.
 
I found that 50mg every couple of hours delivered the alertness and performance benefits that special operators were chasing without diminishing returns:

- Jitters degraded fine motor skills
- Caffeine crashes lasted for hours
- Sleep was disrupted — impacting recovery and next-day energy, focus, and sharpness
- Sleep debt plus tolerance curves meant higher and higher doses to feel “normal”
Heroic doses proved counterproductive, not more effective.
 
At first, the guys were skeptical. Fair enough. But the ones who experimented with lower, more strategically timed doses kept coming back with the same report: steadier energy across long days, better sleep when available, less crashing.
 
That’s one of the reasons we made [Lemonade Iced Tea](https://drinklmnt.com/products/lmnt-recharge-electrolyte-drink?variant=45073875599383&utm_source=klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly-newsletter&utm_term=the-reasoning-behind-50mg-caffeine-in-lemonade-iced-tea&utm_content=product) — formulated with our same science-backed electrolytes plus naturally occurring caffeine (50mg), L-Theanine, and polyphenols from organic black tea for a powerful blend of antioxidants, to keep you going without hammering your adrenals or wrecking your sleep.
 
Start lower than you think you need, spread it across the day instead of front-loading, and watch what your focus, mood, and sleep tell you.

Stay Salty,
Robb and the LMNT Team
