HAPPYCAPS Euphory-E, capsules

HAPPYCAPS Euphory-E - four capsules with kanna extract

The list of this product is short and differs from other compositions of this brand: the manufacturer lists four active ingredients and three excipients. The first is guarana at a dose of 150 mg, with a declared caffeine content of 30%. The second is kanna extract at a 10x ratio, at a dose of 110 mg, and this is the characteristic ingredient of this composition, as it is not present in other compositions of this brand. The third is theobromine at a dose of 50 mg, a compound naturally present in cocoa beans, and the fourth is synephrine at a dose of 20 mg. The coating consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, making the capsule vegetarian. The manufacturer recommends taking one or two capsules with a large amount of water, taken about forty-five minutes beforehand. The packaging contains four capsules, so at the upper portion, it lasts for two occasions, not for longer supplementation. The manufacturer explicitly recommends taking the capsule with a large amount of water for this composition.

Ingredients

The list provided by the manufacturer:

• Guarana with 30% caffeine, 150 mg
• Kanna extract at a 10x ratio, 110 mg
• Theobromine 50 mg
• Synephrine 20 mg
• Sweetener E959
• Magnesium stearate
• Coating: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose

Three items from this list require elaboration, as they are not names commonly found in regular supplements. Kanna, in Latin Sceletium tortuosum, is a plant native to South Africa, traditionally used there in dried form; the manufacturer provides it as a 10x extract, which means ten parts of raw material to one part of extract. Theobromine is a compound naturally present in cocoa beans, and it is this that gives cocoa part of its character. Synephrine comes from the fruit of the bitter orange. Additionally, there is guarana, declared in this composition as a source of caffeine, at a dose of 150 mg, which is over four times more than in the energy composition of the same brand. Do not consume capsules with other products that are sources of caffeine. The manufacturer limits the excipients to three items, including the coating, which consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a cellulose derivative instead of gelatin. Besides it, the manufacturer lists sweetener E959 and magnesium stearate, and this concludes the list of excipients.

• Take the capsule with a large amount of water
• Take it about forty-five minutes beforehand

For whom

This composition is aimed at someone looking specifically for kanna extract, as this is the ingredient that distinguishes it from other products of this brand. Kanna is a relatively rare raw material in ready-made capsules in Europe, and the manufacturer provides it at a 10x ratio and in a specific amount, so it is clear what you are paying for. The second group is those who prefer a short list over an extensive one: four active ingredients instead of fourteen are easier to relate to personal experiences. It is worth noting that the amount of guarana here is clearly more than in the energy composition of the same brand, and together with theobromine and synephrine, it creates a set that the manufacturer does not recommend combining with other stimulants. The product is intended exclusively for adults, and the manufacturer excludes a wide list of health situations from its use, mentioned in the safety block. The packaging contains four capsules, so it is not designed for longer supplementation.
