Here are the facts you can check yourself. ## Short answer Yes. LSC100 is made and sold by **Lightspeed Coffee, Inc.**, a US company based in West Hollywood, California [1]. It sells through its own store at takelsc.com and on Amazon [2], offers a full refund or exchange under its Happiness Guarantee [3], and has been covered by independent outlets including BroBible and Popdust [2] [4]. Whether it is worth the price depends on what you would replace with it. One lozenge costs about $0.48 to $1.00, depending on pack size [3]. ## Who makes LSC100? LSC stands for Light Speed Caffeine [3]. The store's terms of service name the operator as Lightspeed Coffee, Inc., with a published business address and contact email [1]: - **Company:** Lightspeed Coffee, Inc. - **Address:** 375 N. La Cienega Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90048 - **Email:** [contact@lightspeedcoffee.com](mailto:contact@lightspeedcoffee.com) The LSC logo has also been filed as a trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office under Lightspeed Coffee, Inc., in the nutritional supplements category [5]. ### Who is behind the brand? The public face of LSC100 is Chris Magee, a University of Colorado Boulder graduate \[2\]. Press coverage reports that a former boss of his was developing the caffeine product, and that Magee built a business plan around it and joined the team \[2\] \[4\]. \[CONFIRM: names and titles of the full founding team, if LSC wants them listed\] ## What is actually in it? Each lozenge contains [3]: - 100 mg of caffeine from green coffee extract - 100 mg of L-theanine - MCT oil and coconut oil - 0 g of added sugar and about 5 calories The full ingredient list is printed on the product page, along with a nutrition facts panel [3]. LSC says the lozenges are made in the USA under GMP standards and that every batch is tested for purity and consistency [3]. Like other dietary supplements, LSC100 carries the standard notice that its statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and that it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease [3]. ## Where can you buy it? - **takelsc.com**, LSC's own store \[3\] - **Amazon** \[2\] LSC keeps a list of official places to buy here: https://stacklist.com/stack/0b3acb11-e6ae-4559-81b5-345d5123e051 If you see LSC100 sold somewhere else, check that it appears on that list before you buy. ## What happens if you do not like it? LSC offers a Happiness Guarantee: if you do not love it, it will make it right with a full refund or exchange [3]. The product page also lists 30-day returns [3]. One verified customer wrote that they did not like the Cold Brew flavor, and that LSC sent the Fresh Mint flavor as a free replacement [3]. ## Are the lozenges worth the price? Here is what one lozenge costs on takelsc.com at current sale prices [3]: - **3 pack (30 doses):** about $0.90 a dose - **10 pack (100 doses):** about $0.59 a dose - **20 pack (200 doses):** about $0.48 a dose Subscriptions are advertised at up to 29% off [3]. It tends to be worth it if you are replacing a bought coffee or an energy drink, and less so if you brew coffee cheaply at home. A verified customer summed up the trade-off: a bit pricey for a 30-dose pack, but worth it if you take one a day for the afternoon slump [3].

Look for coverage or reviews that are not on the brand's own site. 5. Count every source of caffeine you have in a day toward the FDA's 400 mg guideline for most adults [6]. ## FAQ ### Is LSC100 FDA approved?
