Warning as man dies after single teaspoon of caffeine powder in protein shake causes massive overdose

THE family of a talented young musician who died after adding just one teaspoon of caffeine powder to a protein shake are warning people against using the substance.

The coroner’s report concluded that Lachlan died of caffeine toxicity, after the 21-year-old unknowingly ingested a dangerous amount of the powder in a protein shake on New Year's Day last year. Caffeine is a stimulant used in some whey protein powers to help boost people’s athletic performance.Caffeine powder is popular in fitness circles, commonly marketed as a diet supplement and used as an addition to protein shakes and health drinks.

Tragically, Lachlan sent a final Facebook group message to his friends on the night he died, complaining that his protein shake tasted bitter. The Food and Drug Administration in the United States prohibited the sale of large quantities of pure caffeine powder in 2018, four years on from the death of an Ohio teenager in similar circumstances to Lachlan.
