The Caffeine and L-Theanine Dream Team
Caffeine
When you hear the term "caffeine", you probably picture somebody downing a cup of coffee in the morning in a desperate attempt to stay awake at their desk after a long night. Caffeine is widely known for the energy it provides, as it is one of the most popular and most effective ingredients for energy.
How it works:
Throughout the day, a countless number of neurons are firing in your brain. Because of this, a neurochemical called adenosine begins to build up. This build-up of adenosine reduces your brain's neuronal activity, which leads to you feeling less and less alert as the day goes on. But because caffeine is the same shape and size of the adenosine, it has the ability to mimic it and prevent it from slowing down the neurons' activity in your brain. This process gives us the boost of energy and alertness that we are all familiar with.
Benefits:
There is a reason so many people rely on caffeine on a daily basis. A large number of studies have proven the positive effects that caffeine can have on you. It has been shown to:
- Provide you with a more alert feeling
- Improve your memory
- Push you through your workouts
- Some studies have even linked caffeine to decreased odds of developing certain types of cancer.
Side Effects:
With all of the positives associated with caffeine, there are some negative aspects to the ingredient as well. Caffeine can in some cases:
- Raise your blood pressure
- Increase anxiety
- Cause restlessness
Summary:
While caffeine has many positive benefits, it also has it's share of drawbacks. But what if we told you there was a way to still receive all of the benefits of caffeine, while reducing the negative side effects? This is where L-Theanine comes in to play.
L-Theanine
In comparison to the popularity of caffeine, L-Theanine is much less known to the majority of the population. However it may have as many, if not more positive effects on your mind and body. L-Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in green and black teas, and an ingredient that can provide a plethora of health benefits.
How it Works:
L-theanine works by reducing our body's physiological stress responses. It does so by imitating the actions of gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that blocks the brain's excitatory responses. L-Theanine has also been shown to suppress the functions of the excitatory glutamatergic receptor. By reducing these responses, and your body and mind gets an overall reduction in stress and anxiety.
Benefits:
L-Theanine is widely known as a calming agent, but it also provides more benefits to your body and mind. L-Theanine can:
- Lower your blood pressure
- Lower your heart rate
- Lower your stress levels
- Reduce anxiety
- Reduce restlessness
- Help reduce the symptoms of depression
Side Effects:
While there are not a lot of negative side effects associated with L-Theanine, some people have reported:
- Tiredness
- Small headaches
Summary:
L-Theanine is a less commonly known supplement ingredient, but as you can see from above, it has a host of benefits for you. It also seems to provide benefits that almost exactly mirror the negative side effects of caffeine. Noticing a trend?
Caffeine + L-Theanine
If you paid attention to the information above, you may have realized that the benefits of L-Theanine were nearly the exact opposite of the negative side effects of caffeine. This is where the magic between these two ingredients starts to happen.
When working together, L-Theanine allows for your body to receive all of the benefits of caffeine, while reducing the negative side effects that come with it.
When paired together, caffeine and L-Theanine work together synergistically. Where one partner falls short, the other is there to pick up the slack:
- Blood Pressure: Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which leads to your blood vessels being temporarily decreased in size. This leads to higher blood pressure due to your body's reduced blood flow. However, L-Theanine nearly eliminates this process of caffeine, resulting in your blood pressure remaining much closer to normal levels.
- Crash: Many people often report feeling a crash a little while after consuming caffeine. When combining these 2 ingredients together, it has been shown to reduce tiredness after caffeine consumption, and allows your body to better maintain its energy levels.
- Sleep Issues: How many times do you hear "I can't have caffeine after ___ o'clock" ? This is because caffeine is known to reduce your slow-wave sleep. Getting adequate slow-wave sleep in addition to your REM sleep will result in better overall sleep quality, and L-Theanine is shown to reduce caffeine's tendency to inhibit this slow-wave sleep. While it is still very personal on how late you can take caffeine, L-Theanine can help the process.
As you can see, these two ingredients seem to be a "dream team" when it comes to providing proper energy for your daily needs. So why haven't more products utilized this combination? We don't know!
