It might be the right boost for you. But if you start to feel palpitations, I suggest you start cutting back your caffeine intake or stick with one cup of coffee.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I think the 150 mg of caffeine in G Fuel is in the ideal range. It is slightly higher than coffee which has around 96mg of caffeine but still within the recommended level of 400 mg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you have high caffeine tolerance, you may find the 150 mg of caffeine in G Fuel <strong>insufficient<\/strong> to give you a noticeable energy boost or mental alertness.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the case, I suggest you <strong>double your servings <\/strong>of G Fuel or look for other powder energy drinks with higher caffeine content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_Caffeine_Overdose\"><\/span>Symptoms of Caffeine Overdose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular and moderate caffeine intake can provide your body with<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/caffeine-tolerance#how-to-overcome-it\" target=\"_blank\"> improved<\/a> athletic performance, mental alertness, and blood pressure.
