What are L-Theanine & Caffeine?
L-Theanine is an amino acid primarily found in the leaves of green tea and in smaller amounts in black tea and certain mushrooms. This natural substance has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine.
Caffeine, on the other hand, is a well-known stimulant that is consumed worldwide, primarily in coffee, tea, chocolate, and energy drinks. Caffeine is extracted from coffee beans, tea leaves, and cocoa beans and has a long history in cultures around the world, including Ethiopian and South American traditions, where coffee and tea drinking is deeply embedded in social ceremonies.
While L-Theanine and Caffeine have a long tradition in traditional medicine, it’s important to note that this doesn’t automatically mean their health benefits are recognized according to EU regulations.
The combination of L-Theanine and Caffeine in supplement form is a modern usage of these ancient ingredients. This combination is valued for the unique way they complement each other: L-Theanine can take the edge off the stimulating effects of Caffeine, allowing the user to experience calm alertness without the jitters or restlessness often associated with Caffeine intake.

Properties
L-Theanine is one of many amino acids, but it is distinguished by not being involved in protein building, which most amino acids do. This type of amino acid is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid. It is primarily present in green tea and contributes to the unique flavor. In the human body, L-Theanine is involved in various processes and affects various body functions, consistent with the general properties of amino acids.
Caffeine, on the other hand, is a stimulating substance, specifically known as a xanthine alkaloid. This is a type of compound that occurs naturally in various plants and is known for its stimulating effects. In the human body, caffeine primarily works by blocking adenosine receptors, a process that can affect alertness and shorten reaction time.
