Due to the ability of Umph to be added to any beverage, it can provide both convenience and cost savings as compared to bottled energy drinks. Also, because it is absorbed into a liquid, the manufacturer claims that it will cause less stomach irritation than caffeine pills, and that it will be absorbed more completely into the bloodstream.

Active ingredients

Umph contains other ingredients, but these are the ingredients which specifically claim to provide energy.

• Caffeine (99mg)
• Vitamin B6 (0.75mg)
• Ginseng Root (30mg)

This amount of caffeine is equal to approximately two 12 ounce caffeinated soft drinks, (approx.)one cup of coffee, or one half of a Vivarin tablet.
