Caffeine is a well-known ergogenic compound to improve mental focus, alertness, and energy. L-Theanine is known for its positive effect on cognition.
By combining L-Theanine with caffeine, some of the undesirable effects of caffeine use are lessened. L-Theanine reduces caffeine’s stimulatory effects without modifying the other mechanisms for focus that caffeine offers. L-Theanine interacts with caffeine by “taking the edge off” and still allows the alertness provided by caffeine to remain.
The combination of L-Theanine with caffeine also may improve cognitive function, may eliminate the blood vessel constriction normally experienced with caffeine, and help keep the mind from experiencing wandering, or distraction.
Mode of Action:
1. Caffeine: Caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist, meaning it prevents adenosine from being active. Adenosine is one of the neurotransmitters responsible for drowsiness, and caffeine provides wakefulness through this mechanism of blocking adenosine
Caffeine also interacts with the serotonergic system and can cause changes in the acetylcholine and dopamine systems within the body.
Caffeine ingestion prior to exercise increases performance during prolonged endurance exercise and short-term intense exercise lasting ~5 min [1].
2. L-Theanine: L-Theanine reaches blood-brain barrier that works through glutamate receptors and increases levels of GABA and glycine in the brain which causes relaxation. Increased GABA and glycine may increase serotonin and dopamine, it has also been noted that L-Theanine may decrease or inhibit serotonin synthesis.
Studies indicate that L-Theanine has pronounced effects on attention performance and reaction time response [2].
