What Herbalife Products Contain Caffeine? The Full UK List

By Dogus Dilan, Herbalife Independent Wellness Coach  ·  Last updated 9 August 2026

Five Herbalife products contain caffeine: Instant Herbal Beverage with Tea Extracts (87.5mg), LiftOff Effervescent Energy Drink (75mg), Herbalife24 LiftOff Max (180mg — the highest in the range), High Protein Iced Coffee (80mg), and Phyto Complete (natural caffeine from guarana and green tea, exact mg not stated on the label). Everything else in the range — Formula 1, Protein Drink Mix, Herbal Aloe, Beta Heart and most of the wider supplement line — is caffeine-free. Below is the full ranked list, plus how these add up against EFSA’s daily safety limits if you use more than one.

Why This Matters More Than People Realise

It’s easy to combine two or three of these products in a single day without adding up the total — a tea in the morning, LiftOff Max before a workout, and an iced coffee in the afternoon can quietly stack past 300mg of caffeine before you’ve had a single cup of regular coffee.

None of these products are secretive about their caffeine content — every one lists an exact milligram figure on the label (bar Phyto Complete, which discloses the source but not a fixed number). The goal of this page is simply to put all five in one place so you can plan your day around them.

Which Products Are Caffeine-Free

If you’re specifically trying to avoid caffeine, the reassuring news is that it’s genuinely the minority ingredient across the range. All Formula 1 shake flavours, Protein Drink Mix (standard and vegan), Formula 3, Tri Blend Select, Herbal Aloe Concentrate and AloeMax, Beta Heart, Xtra-Cal, Niteworks, CR7 Drive, Hydrate, Herbalife24 Restore, Prolong Energy Gel, Rebuild Strength, Immune Booster, Active Mind Complex, all the HL/Skin and SKIN range, the Achieve and Protein bars, Protein Chips, and the chewable gels (CoQ10Vita, ViewVita, NutrientVita Kids, MindVita Kids) contain no caffeine at all.

One that’s easy to assume contains caffeine but doesn’t: Night Mode, the evening supplement — it’s built around saffron extract and B vitamins specifically because it’s designed for bedtime use.

Managing Your Total Daily Caffeine Intake

The European Food Safety Authority’s 2015 risk assessment concluded that, for the general healthy adult population, up to 400mg of caffeine a day from all sources doesn’t raise safety concerns, with a lower 200mg daily ceiling for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and a single-dose limit of 200mg.

Here’s where it becomes relevant to this specific product range: one serving of LiftOff Max (180mg) already uses nearly the full single-dose limit on its own. Combine it with a serving of Instant Herbal Beverage (87.5mg) later the same day, and you’re at 267.5mg before accounting for any regular tea, coffee, or soft drinks — well within the 400mg daily ceiling, but worth being deliberate about rather than stacking products without checking.

The practical takeaway: if you’re using more than one caffeine-containing Herbalife product on the same day, add up the label figures rather than assuming they’re each individually “fine” in isolation.
