How much caffeine is in a 1 Shot® Energy Chew?
Each 1 Shot® Energy Chew contains 75 mg of caffeine, roughly equivalent to a cup of coffee or an 8 oz energy drink.
What is the difference between 1 Shot® Energy and Focus Chews?
Energy Chews
Your go-to when you need a potent pick-me-up. Each chew delivers 75 mg of caffeine plus a powerful blend of nootropics and antioxidants for sharp focus, fast energy, and zero crash. Perfect before workouts, meetings, or anytime you need to lock in and level up.
Focus Chews
Your daily driver. Caffeine-free, but packed with Tyrosine, B-vitamins, Zinc, and antioxidants to support clean focus, mental clarity, immune health, and natural energy without overstimulation. Take them in the morning, alongside Energy Chews, or on their own when you just want that calm, focused flow.
The move? Stack them.
Use Focus Chews daily to nourish your brain and body — and bring in Energy Chews when you need that extra push.
How many 1 Shot® Energy Chews can I eat in a day?
1 Shot® is all it takes.
We recommend starting with 1 Energy Chew and seeing how it feels. Each one packs 75 mg of caffeine plus taurine and l-theanine.
Think of it like this: the energy of an 8oz Red Bull, concentrated into a low-sugar, Now and Later®-style taffy. Yeah, they are that awesome...😤
You can safely enjoy more than one chew throughout the day as needed. Just be mindful of your total caffeine intake and how your body responds.
ℹ️ According to the FDA:
“For healthy adults, 400 milligrams of caffeine per day...about 4 or 5 cups of coffee is not generally associated with dangerous, negative effects. However, sensitivity and metabolism vary widely.” – FDA.gov
To stay within that 400 mg guideline, most people can enjoy up to 5 Energy Chews per day. If you have any medical conditions or concerns about caffeine or amino acids, check in with your doctor before use.
How many 1 Shot® Focus Chews can I eat in a day?
1 Shot® Focus Chews are best enjoyed in the recommended serving of two pieces. Each serving delivers 100% of your daily value of vitamins B6, B12, C, D, and E, 50% of your daily recommended Zinc intake, and the amino acid Tyrosine.
You can safely enjoy multiple servings throughout the day. However, consuming more than 15 pieces may exceed the established upper limit for Zinc (40 mg/day for adults), which could lead to unwanted side effects. While Zinc is essential, more isn't always better. So enjoy mindfully.

How much sugar or artificial sweeteners are in 1 Shot® products?
Both our Energy and Focus Chews are low in sugar, plant-based, and made without artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or fillers.
- Energy Chews contain less than 4g of sugar per piece
- Focus Chews contain less than 1g of sugar per piece
To create that chewy, taffy-like texture, we use a small amount of natural sugar syrups like organic brown rice syrup (which are essential to the candy-making process). We then sweeten them further with natural Monk Fruit to keep sugar low while still delivering a sweet, satisfying bite.
Are 1 Shot® products FDA approved?
1 Shot® products have a nutrition facts panel and are conventional foods, which do not require FDA approval.
That said, all of our products are made in our FDA-registered and SQF certified (Safe Quality Foods) facility. Our manufacturing facility is fully compliant with all applicable and rigorous FDA regulations for food and supplement manufacturing.
Will my chews melt in the heat? Why are my chews hard?
We've spent countless hours perfecting our formula to keep our chews chewy, tasty, and shelf-stable without artificial stabilizers or fillers.
Our chews are built to withstand heat and humidity when kept sealed in their original packaging.
If your chews feel soft or sticky from heat exposure, let them cool to room temperature or refrigerate for a few minutes to firm up and unwrap easily.
In cold temperatures, chews may become harder. Simply warm them in your pocket, hand, or mouth for about 30 seconds to restore their ideal texture.
What do 1 Shot® chews taste like?
Energy Chews bring a bold flavorful punch with a bitter edge from the caffeine. Think powerful, not regular candy-sweet. Each flavor is unique, so try them all to find your favorites!
Focus Chews lean more classic and candy-like, with a smooth, longer lasting chewier texture. They’re low in sugar, prebiotic, and packed with functional ingredients and essential vitamins. No big caffeinated energy boost, just clean ingredients to support clarity.
For full flavor details, check the descriptions on each product page.
Are 1 Shot® products plant-based/vegan friendly?
All 1 Shot® products are entirely plant-based making them vegetarian and vegan-friendly, with one exception:
Our Voice Drops contain wildflower honey, which is made by bees 🐝. So they are technically not vegan.
Will 1 Shot® Energy Chews help me stop drinking energy drinks?
They absolutely can! That’s one of their benefits. Helping cut-back on or fully stop drinking too many sugary and artificially made caffeine products.
1 Shot® Energy Chews deliver the caffeine and functional ingredients you’d expect from an energy drink, but in a 6g chew that’s lighter, cleaner, and way more convenient. No sugar crashes, no bloated gut full of liquid, no artificial sweeteners, color, flavors or fillers.
They’re easy on your stomach, fast-acting thanks to oral absorption, and designed to give you the energy you need without the junk you don’t.
Do 1 Shot® products contain any allergens?
All 1 Shot products are free of the Big 8 Allergens | Milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy.

What is the shelf life of 1 Shot products?

After the best-by date, you may notice subtle shifts in texture or taste, but the product is still safe to enjoy. Keep them sealed in a cool, dry place, and they'll maintain quality for an extended period.
How should I store 1 Shot® products?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and efficacy.
