Green tea and caffeine
Green Tea Extract and Caffeine in Maxforce: The Only Printed Amount
Caffeine is the one Maxforce ingredient with a printed amount: 5 mg per gummy, in fifth place. Green tea extract sits fourth with no amount, so it holds at least 5 mg. The FDA cites 400 mg of caffeine a day as an amount not generally linked to harm in healthy adults, so 5 mg is small.

Two lines01
Why are green tea extract and caffeine on a male enhancement label?
Neither is a sexual-function ingredient. Both are common stimulant-type ingredients, and here they also set the math of the whole blend.
Green tea extract is listed fourth and "Caffeine Anhydrous" fifth. Caffeine anhydrous is dry, concentrated caffeine. It is the only line on the label with a printed amount, 5 mg, and that one number lets us bound the others.
Green tea also contains caffeine, so the gummy's total caffeine is at least 5 mg and could be higher. The label does not say how much the extract adds.
| Name on the label | Green Tea Extract |
|---|---|
| What it is | Camellia sinensis leaf |
| Place on the label | 4 of 9 in the 82 mg proprietary blend |
| Amount per gummy | Not printed; at least 5 mg (listed before the 5 mg caffeine line) |
| Amount used in research | No dose in the source used |
| Strength of evidence | Not a sexual-function ingredient in the sources read |
| Marketed or traditional use | Catechins and caffeine |
| Main caution | Rare liver injury with concentrated extracts; contains caffeine; can lower the effect of some drugs. |
| Name on the label | Caffeine (5mg) |
|---|---|
| What it is | Caffeine, a stimulant |
| Place on the label | 5 of 9 in the 82 mg proprietary blend |
| Amount per gummy | 5 mg (printed on the label) |
| Amount used in research | FDA figure: 400 mg a day for most healthy adults |
| Strength of evidence | A stimulant, not a sexual-function ingredient |
| Marketed or traditional use | Energy |
| Main caution | Sensitive people can get jitters, palpitations and poor sleep; this gummy has 5 mg. |
Scale02
How much caffeine is 5 mg compared with coffee?
It is small. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects in healthy adults (FDA, Caffeine: how much is too much?). Five milligrams is about 1.25% of that.
Caffeine in one gummy: 5 mg. That is about one eightieth of the 400 mg a day that FDA cites for most healthy adults (FDA, Caffeine: how much is too much?).
The FDA also notes that sensitivity varies. Too much caffeine can cause a racing heart, palpitations, high blood pressure, sleep problems, anxiety, jitters, upset stomach and headache, and people with certain conditions or on certain medicines may be more sensitive (FDA, Caffeine: how much is too much?).
So a single gummy is unlikely to rattle a healthy adult, but "unlikely" is not a promise. Add the green tea extract, a morning coffee and an energy drink, and the day's total climbs.

Is green tea extract safe in a supplement?
As a drink, no safety concerns have been reported in adults. As a concentrated extract, there are cautions (NCCIH, Green Tea).
| Form | What is reported |
|---|---|
| Green tea as a beverage | No safety concerns reported in adults; it contains caffeine |
| Extract supplements | Nausea, constipation, stomach discomfort, higher blood pressure |
| Concentrated extracts (tablets, capsules) | Uncommon liver injury reported |
| Medicines | High doses can reduce the effect of nadolol; extract can lower atorvastatin levels |
The Maxforce label gives no amount for the extract, so we cannot say if a gummy sits near any dose seen in those reports. Most liver reports involve concentrated products taken in larger amounts, but we cannot confirm that for this gummy. If your skin or eyes turn yellow, or urine goes dark, stop and call a doctor.
The dose math04
How much green tea extract is in a gummy?
At least 5 mg, since it is listed ahead of the 5 mg caffeine line. The label prints no figure.
Green tea is fourth, and the first four lines hold at least 57 mg together. If muira puama, maca and catuaba each held exactly their share of a split, green tea would not be small. But the order may reflect very different amounts. That is the problem with a proprietary blend: the order is a weak clue, and the sum is the only hard number.
- Lines 1 to 4: at least 57 mg together.
- Line 5 (caffeine): 5 mg.
- Lines 6 to 9: at most 20 mg together.
- Whole blend: 82 mg.

Who should be careful with caffeine and green tea?
People sensitive to caffeine, with heart-rhythm or blood-pressure problems, or taking certain medicines, should ask a doctor.
Caffeine can raise heart rate and blood pressure in sensitive people (FDA, Caffeine: how much is too much?), and green tea extract may raise blood pressure too (NCCIH, Green Tea). A man who is already treating high blood pressure or a heart condition has a reason to read the label with a doctor, particularly if erection trouble is the reason for buying.
The same logic runs the other way. A gummy with stimulant-type lines is a poor choice before bed. Our how to use page covers timing, and the side effects page lists the reaction signs that call for stopping.

Which ingredient follows caffeine?
Ashwagandha is sixth, and it has the most published research of any line after caffeine.
Read ashwagandha next, or return to catuaba. The ingredients overview lists all nine.
FAQ07
Maxforce questions people ask
How much caffeine does one Maxforce gummy hold?
The label prints 5 mg of Caffeine Anhydrous per gummy. Green tea extract also contains caffeine, but the label does not say how much, so total caffeine is at least 5 mg.
Will Maxforce keep me awake?
A single gummy holds a small printed amount of caffeine, so most healthy adults would not notice much. People who are sensitive may. The FDA notes that sensitivity varies, so avoid taking it close to bedtime.
Is green tea extract hard on the liver?
Liver injury from green tea is uncommon and has been reported mainly with concentrated extracts in tablets or capsules. The gummy's extract amount is not printed. Stop and call a doctor if you notice jaundice.
Can I take Maxforce with coffee?
Adding it to coffee adds caffeine to your day. The FDA cites 400 mg as an amount not generally linked to harm in healthy adults. A gummy's 5 mg is small, but count it with everything else.
Does green tea extract interact with medicines?
Yes, in some cases. The NIH centre says high doses can reduce the effect of the beta-blocker nadolol, and extract can lower atorvastatin levels. Ask a pharmacist about your own medicines.
Why does the label list caffeine anhydrous?
It is a dry, concentrated form of caffeine used in many supplements. Listing it separately is how the label ends up with one measured amount inside the proprietary blend.
