Dosage That Actually Works
50mg caffeine with 100mg l-theanine is one of the most researched combinations.
The Pairing
Caffeine and l-theanine is one of the most researched combinations for attention. Our exact 50 mg and 100 mg doses were tested in placebo-controlled human trials. In those trials, the combination improved attention accuracy and alertness against a placebo.
