The cleanest 200mg of caffeine you'll take all day.

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant found naturally in the leaves, seeds, and fruits of plants — most familiarly in coffee, tea, and cocoa.*

It's also added to foods like sodas, energy drinks, chocolate-flavored milk, yogurts, frozen desserts, and some over-the-counter pain relievers.*

Caffeine is classified as "GRAS" (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA, though some people are more sensitive to it — effects can include insomnia, headaches, irritability, nervousness, or migraines.

How it affects you depends on body weight, how much you take, how often, and overall health.*

Yes. L-theanine is found predominantly in tea leaves — the biological constituent of green tea responsible for that serene-yet-alert feeling after a cup.

It's an amino acid that's easy to obtain, with a unique biphasic response: it boosts alertness while promoting better sleep.

Theanine works by modulating brain chemistry — specifically the balance between glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Glutamate is associated with heightened brain activity and anxiety, while GABA promotes relaxation. Theanine binds to glutamate receptors, subtly increasing the GABA-to-glutamate ratio.

That balance is why green tea can energize without the jitters often associated with caffeine.

L-theanine also functions as an antioxidant. By blocking the glutamate receptor, it reduces the brain's demand for high energy, which can lead to oxidative stress.

That antioxidant property, paired with its relaxing effects, is what makes L-theanine a unique and beneficial supplement.

L-theanine promotes alpha wave oscillation in the brain — associated with a state of relaxed alertness, the same waves prevalent during meditation or deep workouts.

By enhancing alpha wave activity, it minimizes distractions, allowing for heightened concentration and creativity.

Caffeine works by binding to adenosine receptors in the brain. Adenosine promotes drowsiness and fatigue — caffeine blocks it.

It also increases activity of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, which can lead to increased alertness and energy.*

Supplements come as tablets, capsules, and powders, taken as needed or on schedule. Effects can be felt within minutes and typically last several hours.*

Sensitivity varies person to person. Too much can cause jitters, anxiety, and insomnia — start with a small dose and consult a healthcare professional.*

For healthy adults, the FDA has said 400 mg per day. Coffee houses often pack that much into one large cup — and many people drink 3-4 daily.

We recommend taking one softgel (200mg) to see how that works for you, and if needed, use two softgels (400mg).*

Maybe, maybe not — it's individual. Some people are more sensitive than others; some can have coffee after dinner and feel nothing.*

Scientifically, after 8 hours, 75% of the caffeine is out of your system. We also grow more sensitive to it as we age.

So a cup you handled fine when younger might keep you up now — but caffeine in the morning most likely won't affect sleep.*

Caffeine has a diuretic effect that increases urine output.

For that reason, caffeine may cause dehydration in some individuals.*

It can. Caffeine may cause jitters, increased heart rate, anxiety, and insomnia in some people.

The intensity and duration vary by individual and by how much caffeine is consumed.*

L-theanine is believed to help reduce caffeine jitters by increasing GABA — a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety.

It also raises serotonin and dopamine, which can have a calming effect.*

MCT oil supports overall energy and focus as a fast-metabolized energy source — though it does not directly affect caffeine jitters.*

More research is still needed, so it's best to consult a healthcare professional before changing your supplement routine.*
