Caffeine 200mg by Vlado's Himalayan Organics is purchased by fitness enthusiasts and professionals seeking a standardised caffeine dose for pre-workout energy, alertness, and fat-burning support. While the active ingredient — caffeine anhydrous at 200 mg per tablet — is pharmacologically well-supported for its stated benefits, the formulation is undermined by the inclusion of Sunset Yellow FCF (INS 110), a synthetic azo dye that carries a mandatory hyperactivity warning in the EU for children, and Sodium Benzoate (INS 211), a preservative with an established ADI that can be exceeded in regular users. Additionally, Sodium Starch Glycolate lacks approved food-additive status under FDA, EFSA, or FSSAI, and Talc's safety as a food additive could not be fully assessed by EFSA in 2018. The single most useful thing a consumer should know: this is a NOVA 4 ultra-processed tablet containing a synthetic colour and a preservative that have no functional role in a caffeine supplement — completely avoidable choices that add real regulatory and sensitivity risk.
