I experience a chalky scent from high dose caffeine pills. I don’t think the taste is unique to the intravenous caffeine.
- none_to_remain 3y agoI found coffee drinking + mask wearing pretty cumbersome during the situation, and I was surprised they still make No-Doz. Seemed like something that would have been regulated away by now. Don't notice any chalkiness though.
- joecool1029 3y agoAre they pure or adulturated with calcium? Most of the caffeine pills I've spotted are not just caffeine and I think this is the chalkiness you would be experiencing.
- valine 3y agoThey’re pure as far as I know. Would calcium be listed as an ingredient?
- travisjungroth 3y agoIt’s very unlikely they’re pure caffeine. If it’s a pressed pill (versus a capsule) they’re definitely not. It needs binders to hold it together.
- valine 3y agoGotcha, I take capsules. They’ve got rice powder to add volume I assume, but other than that I think it’s pure caffeine.
- joecool1029 3y agoYes should be on the box somewhere, they usually claim to add it to reduce bone loss. Example label: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=0dbca3a0-cb7f-4339-a35d-92b84e39066b&version=10 https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=0dbca...
- brnaftr361 3y agoSame, and on occasion I have had coffee do the same. That's if I'm reading this correctly and you're describing the smell in your blood?
- valine 3y agoI assume so, either that or its neurological. Its like the scent comes from inside my head.
- 0_____0 3y agoI've been trying to figure out if other people get this too! Finally I'm able to corroborate this. Never thought of it as chalky, to me it's indescribable in a way that one might attempt to approximate with such a word. Not related to caffeine pills though, I get it from caffeine itself.
