EVER thought about giving up coffee for a jitter-free and less acidic alternative?

Kourtney Kardashian released a line of gummy supplements under the name "Lemme," which could provide a more holistic solution to a variety of daily concerns.

The supplements come as part of a line boasting various health-related promises, including: Lemme Focus, Lemme Chill, Lemme Debloat, and Lemme Matcha — which is currently sold out.

The new supplements cite herbal ingredients such as lion's mane for focus, ashwagandha for relaxation, a probiotic/prebiotic combination for digestion, and matcha for energy.

"Say goodbye to that 3PM slump," the product page for Lemme Matcha reads. "Get your favorite matcha latte flavor and cellular energy support at the same time."

I decided to try the newest Kardashian concoction so you don't have to — and it was not easy.

I normally drink two to three cups of coffee per day, but in the interest of the experiment I replaced these with Kourtney's Energy B12 gummies instead - and see if their "energizing" claims lived up to the hype.

Personally, I am a big fan of coffee and my philosophy is the more caffeine content the better.

I am a frequenter of all coffee chains, the Lavazzo machine at the office, and even keep an emergency instant coffee package in my kitchen cabinet to ensure I never run out of the good stuff.

However, I chose to give up cold brews and double shot espressos to see if Lemme Matcha really lives up to the hype.

And to keep the challenge as fair as possible, I also nixed all caffeinated food and beverages — including black tea, my backup caffeine source.

I wanted to see if the supplement alone would give me the energy I needed to go about my daily tasks.

Upon initial impression, the product arrived swiftly in a Lemme parcel. The matte packaging of the bottle itself is attractive and comes in a lovely lavender hue. The gummies themselves are the perfect shade of earthy matcha green.

When I opened the package, the divine matcha aroma hit me — unlike most vitamin supplements, which tend to smell off-putting.

After trying the gummies, I was hooked on the exceptional matcha taste — followed by intense nausea.

The directions simply read to take two gummies up to three times per day, but I would recommend taking each dose with food as it does have a vitamin content which can irritate an empty stomach.

After surviving my own rookie mistake, I took a dose with a handful of almonds every time I felt the sluggish I-need-a-cappuccino feeling creeping up on me.

Days one and two were somewhat bearable, but by day three I felt the void that could only be filled by caffeine-laden coffee.

I felt extremely sluggish, unfocused, and even irritable for no apparent reason. I also experienced intense headaches, especially when trying to get to sleep after a long decaffeinated day.

I attributed these side effects to caffeine withdrawal rather than the supplement itself, which came as no surprise as I previously drank way too much coffee on a daily basis.

Strangely though, I found it harder to get to sleep, not easier, which I assumed would be one of the main benefits of giving up the ground beans.

I do not recommend spontaneously starting a week-long coffee-free Lemme Matcha challenge, especially if you have a job that demands unwavering focus and energy.

As my coffee-less days progressed, I became desperate for a pick-me-up and found myself craving more sugary foods than usual — perhaps my body's attempt to acquire an energy boost.

The product contains 24 mcg Vitamin B12, 50mg of organic matcha tea, and 20mg coenzyme Q10 ubiquinone — ingredients which are touted as energy-boosting.

Other ingredients include: organic tapioca syrup, organic cane sugar, water, as well as less than 2% of citric acid, coconut oil, carnauba wax, natural flavors, pectin, sodium citrate, and turmeric oleoresin for color.

For those watching sugar intake, I would not recommend these gummies. With three grams of sugar per two gummy serving, each dose is close to a teaspoon of refined sugar.

The label suggests taking no more than three doses per day, which would equal up to nine grams, or three teaspoons of added sugar per day.

However, it's likely that the added sugar is what makes the gummies so delectable, but still counter-intuitive to a supplement line that claims health consciousness.

Though the first few days of the challenge felt like an onerous task, I did eventually begin to feel a small energy boost from the gummies by the end of the week.

However, the vivacity is short-lived and much less intense compared to a classic cup of Joe.

When experiment finished, I wasted no time getting a morning espresso, so it didn't encourage me to officially quit the brew.

Now that I'm back on coffee, I notice that I am down to only one unit per day, which is a major upside to this experiment as I did want to at least decrease my coffee intake.

Despite this, I would not recommend the supplement to those seeking a cost-effective pick-me-up.

For those taking a full dose every day, the 60 count product would run out in only 10 days — and at $30 per bottle without auto-ship that's a steep price tag for the average person.

Overall I would recommend this product to those looking for a short energy boost, a delicious matcha taste, or lacking in vitamin B12 or CoQ10 — and especially to loyal fans of Kourtney Kardashian.

But that doesn't mean I'd recommend quitting coffee for it - the tablets' energizing properties don't span that far.
