What Is L-Theanine? What Are The Benefits When Added TO Coffee!
The first supplement that is showcased in the Boost Coffee Brain Booster Blend is L-Theanine.
L-Theanine may be the most popular nootropic on the market and is used by almost every nootropic company and brain supplement company out there, and it's for good reason. But L-Theanine works better as a team, its best friend is caffeine and when combined with caffeine, that is where the magic happens. The reason it is so popular is because of the ‘relaxative focus’ feeling it gives when combined with caffeine.
The reason for this sought-after ‘relaxative focus’ is that it is so effective to help with getting work done and being able to concentrate on studies, lectures, and daily activities that require your attention. This effect is made possible because caffeine provides you with boosted alertness, reaction time, and improved sustained attention but can make you feel jittery and hyperactive. This is where Caffienes sidekick shows its true colours, L-Theanine has been shown to lower your stress and anxiety caused by caffeine which helps you maintain a calm and clear state of mind while feeling energized. It really is the perfect duo.
L-Theanine works to combat stress by lowering excitatory chemicals in the brain that induce stress such as cortisol. So, L-Theanine leaves you in an energized but calm state of mind when combined with caffeine and reduces the bad side effects that caffeine may induce such as jitters, stress, and anxiety. L-Theanine not only relieves stress and anxiety but also boosts dopamine, and serotonin and increases GABA brain waves which have positive effects when it comes to improved creativity, learning, thinking, and knowledge retention.
L-Theanine was chosen in the Boost Coffee Formula because the combination of Caffeine and L-Theanine provides you with ‘relaxative focus’ and is considered the best nootropic combination on the market. Also, L-Theanine is an amino acid and in its natural state is combined with caffeine as it is found in green tea leaves which also contains caffeine, so it is kind of like L-Theanine and caffeine were made for each other (Martens, 2010) & (Haskel, 2008).
