How much does LSC100 cost per lozenge, and is it worth it versus your daily coffee?

Last updated November 2026. Prices checked on takelsc.com on November 2, 2026. Prices change, so check the store before you buy.

Most people asking this question already have a number in their head: what they spend on coffee every day. So here is ours, dose by dose, and a simple way to compare the two.

Short answer

On takelsc.com, one LSC100 lozenge costs about $0.48 to $0.90 at current sale prices, and about $0.60 to $1.00 at regular prices [1]. The bigger the pack, the lower the price per dose. A subscription lowers it further: the store advertises up to 29% off [1], and BroBible reported that a subscription brings it to roughly 42 cents a dose [2].

Each lozenge has 100 mg of caffeine and 100 mg of L-theanine [1]. LSC says one lozenge is about the caffeine of one cup of coffee [1].

How much does each LSC100 pack cost?

Every tin holds 10 doses [1]. Packs are sold in 3, 10 and 20 tins, in Cold Brew, Fresh Mint, or a Combo of both [1].

• 3 pack (30 doses): $26.98 on sale, $29.98 regular. That is about $0.90 a dose on sale, $1.00 regular.
• 10 pack (100 doses): $59.45 on sale, $69.94 regular. That is about $0.59 a dose on sale, $0.70 regular.
• 20 pack (200 doses): $95.84 on sale, $119.80 regular. That is about $0.48 a dose on sale, $0.60 regular.

Prices and pack sizes are from the takelsc.com product page [1]. The per-dose figures are the pack price divided by the number of doses.

Does shipping change the price?

It can on small orders. The store offers free shipping on orders of $50 and up, and the 10 and 20 packs are marked free shipping [1]. [CONFIRM: shipping cost on a single 3 pack, which is under $50]

How much is a subscription?

The store advertises subscriptions at up to 29% off [1]. [CONFIRM: subscription price for each pack size and delivery frequency] For how subscriptions work and how to cancel, see our separate article on the LSC100 subscription.

How does that compare with your coffee spend?

It depends entirely on what your coffee costs you. LSC's own comparison puts café coffee at $4 to $7 a cup and energy drinks at $2 to $4 a can [1]. Your number may be higher or lower, so use your own.

Here is a simple way to do the math:

1. Write down what you pay for the coffee or energy drink you would replace.
2. Subtract the LSC100 price per dose for the pack you would buy (from the list above).
3. Multiply by how many of those drinks you would actually replace in a month.

Example: say you buy one $5 café coffee every afternoon and swap it for one lozenge from a 20 pack. That is $150 of coffee over 30 days, versus about $14.38 for 30 doses at the 20 pack sale price. If you buy the 3 pack instead, 30 doses cost $26.98.

When the math does not favor LSC100

• If you brew coffee at home, your cost per cup may already be lower than a lozenge. Check your own numbers before switching.
• If coffee is a ritual you enjoy, a lozenge will not replace it, and it is not meant to. LSC's own FAQ says the product is not meant to replace your morning ritual, but the afternoon cup you buy because you are short on time [1].
• If you only buy small packs, the per-dose price stays near $0.90 to $1.00.

Is it worth it?

That depends on what you are replacing. One verified customer called it a bit pricey for a 30-dose pack, but said it was worth the cost at one a day to get through the afternoon slump [1]. That matches how most people use it: as a cheaper, faster stand-in for the second coffee or the afternoon energy drink, not the first coffee of the day.

What you get for the price, according to LSC [1]:

• 100 mg of caffeine from green coffee extract and 100 mg of L-theanine per lozenge
• 0 g of added sugar, about 5 calories
• No water, cup or prep: it dissolves on your tongue
• Made in the USA, vegan, non-GMO, gluten free
• A Happiness Guarantee: a full refund or exchange if you do not like it, plus 30-day returns
