Coffee Jitters: Why They Happen

“Jitters” commonly describes shakiness, restlessness or feeling overstimulated after caffeine. Sensitivity varies, and total caffeine can come from coffee, tea, energy products and supplements.

Useful first checks

Review serving size, number of caffeinated products, timing and whether a new supplement adds stimulant ingredients. Persistent or concerning symptoms deserve medical attention rather than supplement experimentation.
