L-Theanine + Caffeine
L-Theanine offsets caffeine's jitteriness and crash, producing calmer, more sustained attention than caffeine alone. Both act within the hour.

Asked about it
It depends on the ingredient. Caffeine and L-Theanine act within the hour. Bacopa Monnieri's memory effects are studied over 12 weeks of daily use — a single dose isn't the same claim as sustained use, and marketing that implies otherwise is a red flag.
How to read a claim about L-Theanine + Caffeine
- Proprietary "brain blends" that hide individual ingredient doses — you can't verify the dose matches the studied dose.
- Single-serving claims of dramatic, immediate cognitive gains — most evidence-backed botanicals need weeks of consistent use.
- Ingredients supported only by animal studies or traditional-use claims, with no human trials at the dose used.
- Marketing that blurs "focus" and "memory" into one effect — they're different cognitive functions with different evidence behind each.
The full standard is on the science page; the other actives are on the ingredients index.
