How much caffeine is in 5-Hour Energy (Extra Strength)?
The Extra Strength 5-Hour Energy shot squeezes about 230 mg of caffeine into a tiny 1.93 oz bottle. There's no sugar, just a concentrated jolt roughly equal to two and a half cups of coffee in one quick swig.

Regular ≈ 200 mg; Extra Strength ≈ 230 mg.
Will 5-Hour Energy (Extra Strength) affect your sleep?
At 230 mg, the shot needs around eleven hours to fall under 50 mg, so an afternoon one can still be active deep into the night. The small size makes it easy to forget how potent and long-lasting it is.
Heads up
At 230 mg, a second 5-Hour Energy (Extra Strength) in a day pushes you toward the FDA’s 400 mg ceiling — and that’s before any coffee or tea. Log everything in the calculator to see your real daily total.
