About, ingredients & important information
Purposeful support for demanding days.
IPS Energy combines a guarana extract (standardised to 22% caffeine) with Asian ginseng root, green rooibos, four B vitamins, magnesium, biotin and a black pepper (Bioperine®) extract. It’s a complementary medicine that helps increase energy and resistance to stress — it will temporarily promote alertness and wakefulness, relieve fatigue and increase mental activity. Each capsule contains 33 mg of caffeine; a cup of instant coffee, for comparison, has around 80 mg.
Why these ingredients
- Guarana, standardised to 22% caffeine, works by stimulating the central nervous system, heart and muscles — this is the source of the formula’s 33 mg of caffeine per capsule, and may help improve alertness and attention span.
- Asian ginseng root supports cognitive function and may help reduce mental fatigue during periods of mental stress.
- A range of B vitamins support the body’s energy-yielding metabolism, contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, help metabolise carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and contribute to normal growth, development and tissue formation.
- Bioperine® is added to support the absorption of the formula’s other actives.
- Green Oxithin™ is included as a source of antioxidants.
This might be for you if…
- You want a measured, labelled dose of caffeine rather than an undisclosed “energy blend”.
- You’d rather take something as needed than commit to a fixed daily stimulant habit.
- You’re 18 or older and keep track of your total caffeine intake across coffee, tea and other sources.

Who should take care
- Contains caffeine — 33 mg per capsule. A cup of instant coffee has around 80 mg; count your total intake across coffee, tea and other sources.
- Not recommended for children under 18.
- Don’t take if hypersensitive to any ingredient, sensitive to caffeine, or on chronic medication without medical advice.
- On blood thinners like warfarin? Speak to your doctor first.
- Space oral antibiotics at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after.
- Best taken in the morning or early afternoon, not in the evening or close to bedtime — the caffeine content may disrupt sleep.
- At caffeine intakes above 600 mg a day, from all sources combined, effects such as anxiety, a rapid heartbeat, insomnia or tremor become more likely — and stopping regular caffeine use can bring mild withdrawal effects.
- Pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy? Speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- If you’re unsure how this affects you, avoid driving or operating machinery until you know.
