Dicaffeine Malate (e.g. "Infinergy")

Dicaffeine Malate (e.g. "Infinergy") is a tier 2 form of Caffeine, used in 0 on-market products and providing 75.0% elemental caffeine by weight.

Basis: ~75% caffeine / 25% malic acid by molecular weight per manufacturer chemistry -- NOT a mineral elemental fraction, but a caffeine-content correction factor applied the same way (mg dicaffeine malate x 0.75 = mg caffeine)

Why this tier: Marketed as "slow-release"/reduced-jitter with a longer reported half-life (5-6h vs 3-4h standard) and lower peak plasma concentration, but the closest independent data found were 28-day safety studies rather than head-to-head PK/performance RCTs against equal-dose anhydrous caffeine -- the "no-crash" marketing claim is less independently verified than the anhydrous form's evidence base.
