The combined effects of L-theanine and caffeine on cognitive performance and mood. - Source: Nutritional Neuroscience, Aug 2008.
Research replicates previous evidence suggesting that in combination caffeine and L-theanine – an amino acid known for ability to enter the brain and support reduced mental & physical stress/relaxation - support improvements in speed, accuracy, and focus in cognitively demanding tasks that are superior to improvements achieved with caffeine alone. It’s a combo most commonly found in green tea. - Source: Nutritional Neuroscience, Aug 2008. |
